BG> I didn't hear anything about b/a military rifles,

BL> I think I agree with them, although I've never used a pump
BL> shotgun. The idea is to ban all weapons that a non-skilled
BL> loony cna use to do great damage to people in an urban situation.

Usual pathetically simple minded stuff. If you cant get a semi auto,
all you have to do is do the shooting from where they cant rush you
Bob. Quite trivial to kill quite a few before anyone stops you.

And even if you wave a magic wand and make all guns vanish,
there are plenty of other ways to kill significant numbers anyway.
Mindless pointless silly stuff. As Dunblane shows so clearly.

BL> Did you see your "honest citizens" in the Queensland "Gun
BL> Owners Association" last night? The ones who were willing
BL> to lead the revolution against the communist homosexual plot
BL> to disarm us? Some of those are going to do time, Bill.

And if you fools dont wake up to yourselves, attempting to avoid a loony
doing something unspeakable will CAUSE on to do so. The blood will then
be on YOUR hands when they do for being silly enough to try to force laws
on them that they think are stupid Bob. Course you will just wash your
hands of that and try to pretend that you fools had no part in that
outcome whatever. Soorree, the blood will STILL be on your hands anyway.

BG> Christ almighty, if the wankers in Canberra pulled their
BG> fingers out and did that instead, I'd actually welcome
BG> a 0.2% increase in the medicare levy, even if it was
BG> permanent. It'd be cheap insurance at twice the price.

BL> It *already* costs Australia $5 billion a year to control crime,

Pity you will just piss $500M more against wall to now useful purpose.

BL> Another $500M is not going to have any impact.

And will just be pissed against the wall. As
usual. The main consolation is that YOU clowns
get to pay. Gun owners on the whole will profit.

BL> This has gone miles past the idea of SLRs now,
BL> and the gun loonies are the ones driving it.

Nope, you clowns are by banning what they know damned well
aint the problem. You may very well end up with corpses too.

BL> We, the People, see it as a chance to disarm these loonies permanently,

Yes, democracys are prone to this mindless stuff.

BL> and return Australia to where it was 30 years
BL> ago when a gun-culture was unthinkable

Poor senile old Bob. We even encourage kids in schools
to shoot, even full belt fed machine guns. Poor old Bob.

BL> and the only ones with guns were genuine sharpshooters.

Pigs arse they were. Poor old Bob. The guvmint essentially GAVE
away what was surplus to requirements, particularly SLMR class stuff.

BL> It makes me *angry* when these fat gun-nut pricks talk
BL> about an armed populace and a Militia. We have a Militia
BL> in Australia that actually held the Japanese on the Kokoda
BL> Trail... a *real* Militia, not a pack of immature arseholes
BL> running around playing kids' games with dangerous weapons.

They were just the same pre WW2 Bob. Plenty of them went off to the Boer
War for some fun too. WW1 ditto. Corse WW1 turned out to be not much fun.

AND we ENCOURAGED *KIDS* to do it too, in schools. Poor old Bob.
