Our gun laws are very strict unless you want to own a handgun, all you have to do is join a club wait 6 months for your probationary period to end then you can buy an handgun for target shooting.

I think we should have strict gun laws, there is no need for someone who lives in cities to have a gun and i believe target shooting with pistols is a bullshit sport.

We had to register our firearms after the laws changed in 1996.

I think the government should ease up on those law abiding people who live in the country and crack down on those who are illegally using firearms, our firearm laws are a disgrace.

I dont recall many drive by shootings in Sydney before our strict gun laws in 1996,it would be interesting to compare statistics of drive by shootings prior to our strict laws to the frequency of them today.

I know a lady who feeds foxes every night, if she does not feed the foxes they take her chickens.
In the old days we would just shoot the foxes, if you ask a vet about using 1080 to poison them he would probably say shooting them is more humane.

Perhaps keeping them hungry is the answer? The rabbits are almost gone, aren't they? Ferrets are banned, aren't they?

Fox pelts were worth $70 each in the '80's.

Guess there's not much call for fox pelts these days. Fur is SO out of fashion.

Foxes remain an introduced feral pest though, don't they? Perhaps we could starve them out?

Too bugger*in' hard to own a .223 Remington these days.

Let the ferals loose and then bitch about the fate of the bilby!

Typical.

How many shot in the streets since Bryant? More than 35?

There was a time when we had a society who could be entrusted with such responsibilities.

Now we reside in a society where responsibility is abrogated - "it's not my fault."

Responsibility lies within choices, within societal mores.

I've had enough of a society that doesn't smack its children.

I've had enough of Government that doesn't represent the views of the majority.

I'm sick and tired of supporting those who have no interest in supporting themselves, and those who suck on the public teat.

Wages for workers, cages for crims, votes for the people and respect for the law.

What's so hard about that?

By "verbal abuse" do you mean she threatened to shoot her neighbour?

She never threatened any violence this was made clear in court.

Violence has been redefined in NSW to include harsh words, an AVO automatically means you hand in your weapons and license for 10 years in NSW.

where do we draw the boundary as to what type of weapons a civilian can have access to?

automatic military style weapons?
assault sniper rifles?
hand guns?
grenades?
rocket launches?
land mines?
missiles?
tanks?
anti aircraft artillery?
small tactical nuclear weapons?

All can be effectively used to control foxes, and provide an efficient form of self defence.

For professional shooters a silencer is an occupational health and safety issue, there are a few brown snakes on my mothers property and i cannot hear them slithering through the scrub when wearing ear muffs.

Imbeciles like Samantha Lee should be held personally liable for any hearing damage suffered by professional shooters, why do these idiots insist on punishing all law abiding shooters while offering nothing on dealing with criminal use of firearms.

If a gun fires a projectile faster than the speed of sound you will hear a supersonic crack, you cannot silence this sound, a 22LR using subsonic ammo will not break the sound barrier so they are quiet yet they lose a lot of power firing a slower velocity round.

I think professional shooters should be allowed to use silencers, it is an occupational health and safety issue for us

As for proper gun laws how about removing the presumption of bail for those who posses unregistered firearms while unlicensed.

Any firearm offence is currently served concurrently with criminal offences which means they dont add any time to someone convicted of a criminal offence while using a firearm, the solution is to no longer allow firearm offences to be served concurrently and make them start after the criminal offence has been served.

If you want effective gun control laws perhaps it is better to ask those who have to use them instead of those leftists who have no bugger%ing idea.
