Is Mise: "...if you wish to remain ignorant yourself then that is your right, but don't try to stop others who believe in teaching safety."

I think it's been adequately demonstrated on this thread that the only poster who doesn't see through this strategy to recruit kids into the gun culture is Is Mise. Or rather, it's a strategy of which he approves, which is why he keeps pushing it despite its obvious lack of support from others.

I was somewhat bemused by the logic behind those knife attack statistics you brought up before.

The impression I got was that there are more knife attacks then gun hold ups.

My response? Good. How this is an argument that we should relax gun control, I don't know... so... what... we could increase the proportion of gun holdups instead?

I don't mind being odd man out, rather relish it in fact, but when the opposition is so low on facts and can't stay on the subject it does get a little tedious.
So as I've said before be happy that you want to keep children ignorant of safety. You can only do harm.

TRTL,

The facts from the ABS speak for themselves.
The topic is teaching children firearms safety within the parameters of the law.
Dickie said that more people were killed with guns than with knives and that therefore one was relatively safer if attacked with a knife, but in fact more people are murdered in Australia with knives and more are robbed with knives. That's all, I'm still waiting for him to tell us all where he got his amazing figures.
