This whole disarmament thing is freaky....
In Aus we lost most of our guns ater the port arthur massacre... (they used a massive buy back scheme and a safety period to return them, illegal or not with no charge)

however the point to me is i spent a day watching all of the threads here and elsewhere and 1 thing stuck out in my mind...

if i am pissed at someone (without a gun, so we discount that part), i have a kitchen full of knives and a shed full of nasty tools.. point being if someone is nuts, they WILL find away to do damage, albeit not as quickly and mercilessly as with a gun....

there are a small group of people with weapons weapons of varying degrees

1. farmers
2. gun club members/ sports
3. police
4. military
5. criminals
6. bikies
7. drug runners

8. the rest of us just throw pebbles....

that is gun control....

we have a liason officer attached to several schools at the 1 time, but you only see them 1/2 a year for talks with the kids... maybe we have to change the system to have a legal armed representative available at each site...

after all we got them on flights now as well....

thoughts?

You Oztards just don't ANY affinity for logic whatsoever, do you.

You don't have any logic about you, because you don't WANT to have anything to do with logic.

In 1776, a musket was the "assault weapon" of the day.

To an idiot like you, "logic" would have an American citizen defend themselves from tyranny with a musket, while tyranny rolls over them with fully automatic rifles, and microwaves.
