Paul,
Nothing brave about suicide bombers because they are assured of Paradise.
Basically I suppose that you could say that they do it for the cause but ultimately it’s a selfish, self-serving act to ensure that they will exist in a future full of happiness.

Ned risked his life, not for his own good but for the good of a little boy.

Hi Issy,

I've got a 15 year old grandson, no bs, do you think I should give him a pistol as an early Xmas present? Take it to school for show and shoot

Checked the latest news from America.

Paul,
No, that’d be breaking the law.
Are you referring to the coloured bloke that used a motor vehicle as a murder weapon?

Nah, I'm referring to the white kid who took his pistol to school and shot dead 4 classmates. It was an early Xmas present from Mum and Dad so practical a gift. Illegal, but only until the Shooters and Hooters Party gets elected, then it's Dodge City here we come, 5 year olds will have guns for self protection . If a 5 year old is attacked by a 7 year old bully in the school playground he should be able to use a gun for self protection. Agree?

Grow up Paul, and try and attain the mentality of a five year old.

Ok Issy, you have given up on self protection as a stand alone reason to own a firearm in Australia. You have embraced Greens policy on that, good to see. True some 15 year old kid in America was given an early Xmas present of a pistol from Mum and Dad, took it to school and shot dead 4 classmates etc. Shocking, sorry for the sting, but if you read Shooters policy it doesn't exclude 5 year olds, just the opposite, got to have policy, its got to have detail, otherwise you know what.
