    Quite possibly a large part of it... although knowing the area they probably didn't want to kill.

    (Agreed)
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Me. I think the ban is good.

    The gun control measures have worked.

    it was never about 'criminals'. It's about easy access for whackos and mass murders and we haven't had one since.

    I guess all the bike gang murders and shooting don't count then.

    Or all your mafia murders either huh.

    How many was that again ?

    Oh yeah they've only increased so I guess your gun laws work real well.

    Gangster shit would have and will happen anyway. Regardless.

    What *hasn't* happened is some psycho nutter goes berserk and kills 35 people.

    From that point of view they are a great success, yeah.

    How do you know some nutter with a couple of plugs of Powergell isn't waiting just around the corner,,like at the Viking last month,,,what are the clowns going to do then,,,ban mining ?

    Ivan Mallat,not so hasn't happened again after all.

    you're right! that hasn't happened!! upto, including, or since 1996.

    amazing how public opinion can change about 80% (*from about 3% support for the legislation to ~86%) when the media reports a story, innit.

    Dude, no comment is better than a bad comment, you're just not making sense.....and considering you are an advocate for less rather than more controls on weapons your cause is done more harm than good.

    Fact: in the 14 years leading up to the new gun control legislation in Australia there were many gun massacres (Milperra, Hoddle Street, Strathfield, Port Arthur etc etc, where a massacre is generally defined as more than 4 people)

    Fact: in the 14 years since the change in legislation and gun amnesty etc there has not been a single massacre

    Fact: in the 14 years since the legislation was introduced and gun amnesty etc the number of weapons stolen each year has massively reduced.

    These aren't opinions, it's simply the way it is.

    It's not necessary to prove it. Causation can exist when correlation is zero.

    Ah yes, the gun amnesty. Possibly the BEST way for shooters to make money by handing in pieces of crap that no intelligent person would be seen posessing. Australia uses one of the finest methods of a "part" being handed in for a dollar handout far in excess of what would be normal.

    Most people do not know that there is a permanant amnesty here. Hand in stuff and the police will take it away.
    Much better for the taxpayer as well, as we don't get shafted by stupid propaganda-based bullshit.
