^^^ P.R I don't see many licensed shooters killing people with guns either.

I do see alcoholic ocker fkheads belt their missus' with their fists.

Do we we ban fists? Maybe alcohol? Oohh maybe arguments, or females who backchat? No, we have penalties for the offenders.

In all these threads here I have seen the (minority) of lefties want to ban guns.

None of you leftie types yet have been able to answer my question in all those previous arguments - why we did not see mass shootings in the 1940's to 1970's when gun ownership was at it's highest???
Society is to blame, not the gun, and that is patently obvious. It is the (failed) policies of the loony left social engineers that have enabled it to happen.

That was a cool clip, tracers are awesome

P.R from your link I see roughly 55 shootings in 100 years up to 1980, then 60 plus in the last 30yrs since.

A fourfold increase in shootings per year is not to be scoffed at.

Yes OK, I was wrong as I said there was not any. However I stand by the assertion that the gun is not to blame, changing society is. Again, 4x increase is pretty hefty.

Come on Mark, Even if our international leftist plan does work and we manage to ban all guns you've still got yer whitlin.

This is my favourite Russian.
Youtube BodyRock for ya fittness freaks and pervs....

Our Russian? friend gets a cameo in this trailer

Yours and Stevens point about the "real" world is a false one. Look at the city populations of Australia......THAT'S "real", not what you put forward as normal in
country WA.

You are referring to the "real" world, I take it, where most teenage boys spend 6 hours or more at a stretch daily on the X Box/P.S. playing Battlefield, Call of Duty and Black Ops etc.

Graphic and repeated simulated killing for hours on end. What does that do to impressionable young minds?? That is a breeding ground for future mass murderers if any of them get their hands on a real gun.

I would rather take my son to a rifle range on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon where the world is real, the guns are real and the discipline is real.

One of the best things that could happen in Australia is for military cadet training to be brought back into the school system IMHO. It is great for self discipline, character building and emotional releases.

Army cadets!!! Haha. Who'd join? the world's moved on Cisco. And anyway what's with your fascination with guns,the military and shooting things? How about an "environment cadets" or a "peace corps" or a "civil defence" thing. Why the necessity to use a military force model?

Back in my day we had no entertainment, we made do with marbles an suchlike.

So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a 10 cents and in those days, 10 cent coins had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a fifty, you'd say...................

He does have a point. You must be one of the first to line up and protest about overly violent video games Loggy? Or is it easier to just blame the implement?

LOVE the Tank's

The black guy with the tanks is a french comic/actor. Omar Sy

Ok ...Not the Black guy the russian

I have nothing against big guns at all. Had fun shooting a few in Vietnam and after the missus said 'pick something girly for me' I got her on a 30cal Machine Gun. Good times. But... can't really see any legitimate need for them here. Farm rifle/shotgun, sure. But full auto or military weapons? Not gonna add anything.

We are gonna see more and more crims with guns here, smuggled in. It's just a fact of life considering the rest of the world's awash with them, and crims with drug money here will pay 10-50 times cost price for someone smart enough to get them in. Same with tazers.

For the oldies in the thread - stats say that rape, violent and gun crime actually falls when teenage guys have access to violent video games. Rather than 'train mass killers' or whatever fearmongering piffle the AM radio's been spreading, the stats prove the opposite. It gives them a fantasy outlet for their aggression without bringing it into the real world.

Considering that Call Of Duty is the most lucrative entertainment stream in the world, and to borrow Joe Hockey's counting system it sells approximately eleventy billion copies, I think there's a big enough sample size for the stats to be accurate.

It gets pretty funny when you track back these 'violent video game' fear stories and they started with the commodore 64. Imagine the realism they were complaining about back then!

And I don't know how many people live in your town, but about 3 million live in mine, and I think if you were to go into a Maccas in northcote and put ammo on the counter......then Vic police would be called.

I just got back from a quick trip to Leinster, and was a bit surprised to see this thread still active!

Loggy- the Maccas was in the metropolitan suburb of Armadale, not exactly a hicksville country town.
Our boys didnt have live ammo- just empty cases and the remains of different projectiles they had collected from the mound of dirt that the bullets are caught in after passing through the targets.
Nothing able to be fired or reloaded. Nothing illegal.

Like you- I too have shot and killed a lot of animals in the past.
However, unlike you- I have never killed for sport, every animal I killed was either causing damage, posing a danger to crops, livestock or people, or has been bound for the dinner table.
I have no remorse for what I have done- and would do so again.
I cant say that I took pleasure in killing- more like satisfaction in a job well done.
Someone has to do the culling (P.C. word for necessary killing) - and I am (or was) good at it. As was my Father, and Grandfather.
Our sons have proven to be proficient with firearms on the rifle range- and when old enough and after gaining more experience I expect they will be co-licensed to use the firearms that my Father and myself have collected and used over the years.
My sporting use of firearms started after I moved back to the city and joined a rifle club and took up target shooting. I have been with this club for 16 years- and will be there for a lot more yet!

I dont expect Loggy or the "lefties" to like hunting, culling or sporting shooting- but thats to be expected.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion of thier own, just dont think you can change my opinions to suit your view of the world.
