Criminals are not allowed to buy this Adler shotgun.
Laws don't necessarily stop people from doing things.
No, .....but if we had laws,
and a justice system, which removed
violent criminals from society,
PERMANENTLY!, Australia would be a safer place.
Q.
Do you contest that statement ?
And we [collectively] would enjoy i higher modicum of peace within all of society,
imo.
TODAY in Australia,
pump action shotguns are proscribed 'weapons'.
TODAY in Australia,
pump action shotguns are deemed to be too dangerous for Australians to own.
But up until the John Howard gun 'buy back' [post the 1996 Port Arthur atrocity],
i owned 2 pump action 12g shotguns [along with a number of other firearms],
for 20+ years.
I have been 60+ years on this planet, and have been a peaceable and law abiding Australian citizen.
I have never been to goal.
I have never been charged with, nor convicted of, any criminal offence.
I have never had a drink driving charge or conviction.
I have never had an illicit drug possession/use charge or conviction.
Should i be permitted to own a firearm ???
AGAIN; For 20+ years i did, lawfully possess 2 pump action 12g shotguns [along with a number of other firearms], without incident.Is the Australia community, in 2015, safer, now that
many, many peaceable and law abiding Australian citizens have had to surrender firearms ?
I think not.
Why so ?
Because the criminal class in Australia, clearly, still have access to, and possession of firearms!
.....whereas,
because of laws passed by our governments, many peaceable and law abiding Australian citizens DO NOT.
AND YET
, our Australian governments continue to REFUSE, to pass laws which would see
violent criminals permanently removed from society!
Dumb, dumb, dumb!Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt!We are governed, 2015, by criminals [at worst], and at best, by the CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT, imo.
.
Quote:IMO, everybody in Australia who is;
1/ over 25 years of age,
2/ has not had a criminal conviction in the last 20 years,
3/ and has never been convicted of illicit drug abuse, AND, has never been convicted of drink driving,
.....should be allowed to own a firearm [if they want to own one] to defend their home and family.
"Israel & US are one!"http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1331083663/282#282IMO, if we want a peaceful society, we need to make the criminals frightened,
......of the peaceable and law abiding citizens.
AND, remove 'career' criminals from society,
permanently.
What is wrong with that ?

A simple definition of SANITY/INSANITY.
Typically, an unrestrained sane person will act in ways which are harmless to others, and in ways which are creative, and productive [for himself, others, and society].
And typically, and conversely, an unrestrained INSANE person will act in ways which are harmful and destructive to himself, and, or, others around him.
