I sorry, I was under the delusion that forums was an exchange of ideas and opinions. You want all to not have any differing opinions on any subject, just so I understand you. One party was making an assertion, the other party did not agree and tried to explain. You have issue with that?
So as I understand you are always correct in your assumptions, your thoughts and any who do not agree with you are wrong and cannot be heard. Thanks, but no thanks.


It's a shooting and hunting forum...usually revolves around killing animals.

I don't give a damn about your political ideas, not interested in hearing them, I don't give a stuff about any political parties or policies.

I just hunt.

Hunting is not about killing animals, its about hunting, you don't actually need to kill anything, take a photo it's much the same. Secondly if you look at the various categories of this site you may find it is much more than just about hunting. Many feel as you do, stuff politics, but in the end we are required to cast a vote, so it does affect you. All the best in your hunting and killing endeavours. So a Marxist or socialist policy will not concern you, you live in isolation, "far from the madding crowd." be well and may your hunts always be successful.

All you do is crap on about political s**t and try and put other members down boasting about some political prowess. Do you ever get out hunting?...I think not.

In answer to your question, what I do and when I do it is none of your concern. I don't crap on about politics, read some of what I post, I never put anyone one down, not my style, again read what I post. Prowess is a good word for someone who claims no political allegiance, leave it be. Yes I do and have hunted for many years, but then who cares.

Vegetarian .... A hunter who goes hunting and comes home empty handed.

I dont think our country, it's people or our systems are even close to being ready for c & c, imo we would see a rise in road rages ending in a shooting because the people who want guns for self defence are more likley to shoot another person than a hunter who knows the consequences and what the dammage looks like.

I believe that the only way it could work is if there was a wildcat round developed for custom self defence pistol that was sold to someone who held a self defense license and the ammo for it was sold at a police station only, training at a police range only, therefore controlling who, where, why and how people were using them.

All that said ...I doubt it would make Australia a safer place having c & c
Gun control requires concentration and a steady hand

ONE you said a mouthful the best bit was "imo we would see a rise in road rages ending in a shooting because the people who want guns for self defence are more likely to shoot another person than a hunter who knows the consequences and what the damage looks like."

I think if people were made to shoot say a pig ,deer or the like and see what the carnage a Gun shot wound causes they maybe less likely to want to use it on a human being, then on the other hand some people are just plan Assholes and might get a rise from it???? I have lived all around the world including the U.S for work and Aussies by nature are some of the most Violent people I've had the privilege to meet and I'm a 6th Generation Australian!!!!!

I actually don't think many (relatively speaking) would go out and purchase for self defence, and less for CC.

Just not in our culture as much as elsewhere I don't think.

I probably would for home? Get something suitable that is. Not for carry though.

Guess it's all speculation on our part. However if you get a few assaults and murders occurring, a few standoffs like Martin Place happening, the media running a scare terrorism campaign the number will grow. Still think with a population of over 10-12 million in the right age bracket, a few news articles on bashings and robbery and if only 1 or 2 % turn up, its a large number at 1% =100,000.
