Paul,
The Arbery case was all wrong and was a blatant example of callous murder and the type of weapons used is completely irrelevant.
Back to Pr.7
A farmer’s wife alone on the property has the right to use a firearm to protect herself from intruders , the law says that she cannot own or possess a firearm for the purpose of self protection but if she possesses it for a legal reason, she may use it for self protection, the Greens, if they mean what they say in Pr.7 would require her to submit to theft, assault, rape or murder.
Now I don’t think for a moment that that is their intention which leads to the conclusion that those who wrote, adopted and promulgated Pr.7 were/are unthinking twits.

shadowminister,
Second that motion!

sm,

Your insults mean nothing, and I wasn't addressing you of the rabid right, who supports calls for violence in Melbourne from those of your ilk, fascists, neo-Nazis, racists and crazy anti-vaxxers like yourself.

Hi Paul,

Here's why the Rittenhouse case has provoked such
deeply held emotion:

http://bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59348734

It seems that the sort of mentality that we encountered
while living and working and travelling in the US for
close to ten years has certainly gotten worse especially
in "Middle America." We did not want to raise our
children in that sort of environment. However judging
from some of the posts here - it appears that this sort
of mentality also exists in this country as well.
Fortunately our population is smaller and hopefully there's less
of those kind of people here.

Foxy,
This sort of mentality certainly does exist in this country, in this country you are innocent until proven guilty and in NSW the onus of proof is upon the prosecution to prove that if you act in self defence that you did not fear for your life.
The State must prove you guilty, you do not have to prove your innocence.

Have you looked at the videos yet?
Have you seen Rittenhouse attempt to flee?
Have you seen him stumble and fall?
Have you seen him bashed?

Do watch them and then come back and tell us how he would not fear for his life?

Issy

Can you tell us how would weapons for self defence work? Loaded guns lying around the house at the ready. Would folks carry weapons on their person in public? What percentage of the public would be armed?

Pauliar,

You moronic twat. This is a commentary on the US, not Aus.

I am none of the things you have called me and so I guess the truce is over.

The violent anti-vaxxers are from the unions or pedogreen/ labor ie your side of politics.

Pull your head out of your arse and pay attention.
