Compairing child sex offenders and Law abiding firearm owners who have been back ground checked by state and federal police , and a clean criminal history is both an emotive unfair swipe ... and a ridiculous comparison to suggest , even as a joke .
As to why the draconian gun laws have not been repealed in Australia ... well some have ..... but the majority remain .... Again if you were actually knowledgeable or had experience regarding the current firearm laws you would know that some of have actually been repealed ..unfortunately then replaced with more draconian ridiculous legislation...which as usual targets and effects only the licenced law abiding firearm owner ...not the criminal.
There are plenty of previous draconian laws in Australia that were LAW for decades ..... such as homosexuality being illegal ........ this draconian law was not repealed by the next government or the next etc ..... but remained law for decades ...... does that mean that was a good law aswell then ?..... Sometimes laws take decades to change , as public perception and education takes time
The media's constant anti gun agenda ,for 18 years since port arthur has certainly not helped ,
