You should start lobbying MPS

[robertau1788]

The lesson for governments and oppositions around the country is both explicit and obvious. By and large, firearms are a political non-issue, inasmuch as no one is likely to change their vote to a particular party because they are supposedly 'tough on guns'
Nevet the less sitting back and waiting for Howard is not bright. There are
a lot of us out here and we pay Tax and have rights.
While it is important for shooters and their representative organisations to remain vigilant and mindful of particular bureaucracies and international structures, the notion that government functionaries and academics with a role in firearm policy development can be persuaded to adopt a more balanced view of the issue is naive.

You should start lobbying MPS by emailing the national and labor parties
and voicing your objections.

1. Australian's have a right to defend themselves, their families and their property.

2. Shooting is a legitimate sport and pastime and participants should be treated accordingly.

3. Disarming law abiding Australians is not in the national interest and will do nothing to reduce crime and the money has better uses.


Any Arguments?

I just love this place. Theres never a dull moment. Robert thanks for your advice and I agree. I will get down to it. Im not involved in all this crap that Lennie and Cardigan have been going on with and I would like to see the back of both of them.

With stopping the buyback My reading is that the nationals will come good.

The Labor situation is
In conjunction with its State colleagues, Labor will work with sporting and recreational shooting organisations to control the criminal use of firearms without adversely affecting legitimate sporting and recreational shooters.

Beasley strongly disagrees with Howard and just wants customs to start checking out the containers for ilegal gun imports.

No problem.

And welcome Robert.

What happened in 1788?

Youve got no right to talk about my father like that

[fusil]

Cashmere Cardigan.

Your bye line "Hunting:A Bad EXcuse to Combine Alcohol and Guns"
is offensive and racist to indigenous Australians who have a culture of hunting going back for thousands of years.

Fusil.

Cashmere, considering that your "father" considers considers it fair practice to taunt someone recovering from an illness such as alcoholism, I would say anything said about your father is fair comment.

Do you, cashmere, consider it reasonable to taunt the sick?

[lennie]

Thanks John

Irrespective of how many years sobriety one has with this disease you are always in recovery, one day at a time. I now have good sobriety time up my sleeve, many years in fact. Yes I was deeply offended by Cardigans very sick attitude to the disease and I know many people around the world through the program that I keep to. Some are Federal Policeman, State Policemen, Politicians, Movie Stars, Magistrates, and the list goes on. It is a disease that does not discriminate.

Anyhow, I'm back as I refuse to allow someone as insignificant as Cardigan worry me. Cardigan is nothing more than a scumbag and I doubt if anybody takes his so-called 'Gun-Control' stance seriously anyhow. I have in fact spoken to one or two of them in Australia and mention the name Cardigan and their reply is commensurate with my thoughts. They call Cardigan lots of names here and they ain't Cardigan. They're names you probably won't find in the dictionery.
