Paul,
Rave on, but the Greens say that a firearm must never be used for self defence, many women on bush properties are alone with small children, if strangers enter the property and start banging on the locked doors, what is the woman to do?
What is the Greens solution?
Ring the police?
The phone line’s been cut.

Don’t say it can’t happen, a farmer’s wife in NSW was dragged from her home, raped, then murdered. Fortunately it was a rare happening.

The reality is that on many properties ths woman keeps the shotgun in the corner of the kitchen and a few shells in her apron pocket in case the foxes have a go at the chooks.and if anything more serious happens she has a chance.
The law being regarded as stupid is ignored.

Thanks Foxy, it worked.

G'day HASBEEN..

It's been a while, I hope you're well. I was extremely lucky when I was over there, our Bureau PFI was I/C of most of the the North Atlantic seaboard. Almost all of New England. therefore I had the opportunity to see and test fire the latest & greatest in the Bureau's small arms inventory back then. I must say I was always treated as a bit of an oddity, being the only Australian, and was invariably called 'Ozzie'. The Yanks are the most generous, most hospitable people, on the face of this earth. And for that reason I'll never let people speak badly of them.

Much like those of the RUC who were 'trying' to train me to operate 'Hadrian', the mobile 'Bomb Response Disrupter' in Belfast, Northern Ireland. They all must think I was a real dunce, trying to learn all the electronic nuances of that damn thing? Ah those were the days!

I bet those guns on the, Carrier, the 'Sea Venoms' would near evaporate its target, into a fine red mist, if they hit a human being at point blank range?

Sorry moderator - I tend to rave on, if given the chance.

And another 4 weapons formally held in a suburban house enter the criminal underworld after a violent crime to no doubt reappear to inflict further violence on our community. Aren't these hobbies fun.

SR,
Nice of you to gloat over another human’s suffering.

Obviously being a law abiding citizen he didn’t have time to get a weapon to defend himself.

We cannot possess anything for the purpose of self defence in this country, I’m glad that I have a legitimate use for a walking stick, a primary and deadly self defence weapon.

It would be a terrible thing if a criminal were injured or killed in the commission of a crime.

Dear Is Mise,

You really are a flog aren't you.

It is your bloody hobby which is the direct cause of this poor bloke being set alight.

Your answer? More guns. Unbelievable. More to end up in the hands of criminals.

I have no issue with people having a long arm for hunting but stockpiling pistols are a red flag for the underclass.
