Caps on the number of firearms will prove nothing other than to unfairly penalise legitimate firearm owners. Commissioner Adams has a biased view based on one, or at best a very small number of regrettable, isolated and clearly unfortunate cases. Applying her philosophy to motor vehicle ownership and we should get rid of motor vehicles. We live in a democracy, at least we do at the minute but unfortunately it is a fact that democracies globally are losing ground.
We would be better served if those in positions of authority ( & power) focussed more on our national security, home affairs, defence and immigration. Administer and Enforce existing legislation rather than impose further restrictions on law abiding Australians. In this regard, had the NSW government and police upheld their responsibility rather than fail in their duty to ordinary Australians, then the Bondi incident would not have occurred. Our government and senior beaurocrats are selling off our country and destroying our culture whilst pandering to the demands of minority groups and those who want to destroy all that is good about being Australian.
It is a fact that firearms once existed in most Australian homes and many used them to survive, harvesting rabbits, ducks and other game just as they also had backyard gardens and caught fish from the local foreshore or wharf. A healthy lifestyle based on freedoms most can now only dream about. Our forefathers fought and died to protect these freedoms, they stood united under one flag and I can only wonder at what their response would be to the shamefull demonstrations in our streets and current state of affairs in Australia today.
I support the current stance adopted by the Tasmanian Premier and Minister Felix Ellis and congratulate them on their unbiased, logical and sensible approach. Tasmania has strong firearm laws and whilst they are properly administered and enforced their is no case for imposing further restrictions.
