Nigel Farage - the leader of the UK Independence Party is advocating that private hand-gun ownership be made legal again.
Quote:Mr Farage insisted he did not want to move to the ‘absolutely crazy’ system in the U.S. where ‘you can go and buy automatic repeating rifles down at the local gun shop that looks more like a supermarket'.
Mr Farage added: ‘I think the knee jerk legislation that Blair brought in that meant that the British Olympic pistol team have to go to France to even practice, was just crackers.
‘And, if you criminalise handguns then only the criminals carry the guns.
‘And, it’s really interesting that since Blair brought that piece of law in gun crime doubled in the next five years in this country. ‘
Mr Farage added: ‘I think we need a proper gun licensing system which to a large extent we already have and I think the ban on hand guns is ludicrous.’
linkIn Australia it's a simple matter of joining a gun club (under a member's sponsorship) ~ and then acquiring a gun and making sure you shoot at the club a certain required number of times a year.
Voila. You've got a handgun at home.
Hope you're right and it's that simple
Because I want at least one gun. For protection. To protect my family and myself
It's said Howard had no legal authority to ban guns in this country. It's said it was all bluff that he got away with. Can't remember the link, but I read a lengthy, erudite thread about that somewhere
Whatever the case, I believe it my right to own a weapon I can rely upon to protect our home
Funny how the police go to dozens of shooting incidents every week, most of them involving migrants, yet those same individuals are able to obtain and use guns and the police, the law, the government is either incapable (incompetent) or uninterested in doing anything about it
The rest of us become victims at the hands of those who kill and maim us with knives, axes, swords, star poles, filthy needles, baseball bats, et al
Most of us are not trained in unarmed combat. Most of us have no training at all in self-defence. They're picking us off. When the police catch them, if they do, judges let them walk or pass lenient sentence. Even murder is worth only a year or two
If the public was armed, less of them would suffer
Makes sense for people to be armed
Currently, our treacherous government rules against even the use of MACE or other self-defence sprays. Where's the logic? There is none. Howard was ordered to get rid of people's guns and to render them defenceless. And he obeyed the orders
coincidentally, it's said that Israel gave Howard innumerable awards for 'services to israel', to the point they had no awards left and had to settle for naming a forest in his honour
Where are the 'services to Australia' on Howard's part ?
Who was paying him all those years -- Aussies or jews ? And how come he got away with it when he should have been strung from a branch
Needless to say, I agree with the guy from the UK who said people should at least have hand-guns to protect themselves and their families with
Howard meanwhile continues to use our money in the form of security for his lacklustre family and himself
We're stupid for letting this go on
