Lever action shotties like the adler aren't going to be purchased and used to do another PAM. How come they dont even give a damn about the ridiculously higher likelyhood of being killed by drugs, bad drivers, drinking, STDs or real crims? They are nothing but morons.

The leader of the Democrats here in the USA Hillary Clinton just admitted she is not interested in changing hearts and minds, and in fact does not believe it's even possible. She believes in the force of government, demanding certain behaviors under risk of punishment. That's how the Left is wired. Once a Right or a freedom is lost, it's almost impossible under such circumstances to get it back. Government, academia, international pressure, the judicial system, and of course useful idiots in the media all conspire against allowing freedom. But we have to keep trying with God and truth on the side of natural Rights and freedoms for mankind

Not reading all of the twitter link, but they have already exposed themselves. They have admitted that it's not the shotgun that's the issue - that they just don't like guns and they believe there should be less guns. The people on twitter have already admitted that they have an issue with all guns.
Therefore this argument has nothing to do with Port Arthur. And it has nothing to do with the particular gun they want banned. The argument is that they have an ideology and they're willing to use any means deceptively to meet that ideology. This is what needs to be exposed more

I got through to allot of people though...allot of australians are just kinda "oh ok the media says we should be scared so i will be because I have no one to tell me otherwise." type approach to firearms and just need more of us to put the effort into really giving them a balanced education on firearms the media and other specifics.
just remember if we don't put the effort in the only education allot of them are getting is sensationalist media and Greens politicians lol
