:hmm: Also on the way to victory with 'NO' to the new Industrial Relations laws, lets send us back 100yrs!!!

:hmm: Most importantly, Just vote

Also I would like to state; in Australia, to assure my North American and European friends, alot of Australians don't bear arms as a matter of choice and probably law.

Where did you get that idea? It's our current 100 year old IR laws that are being replaced!

Another reason why free, law-abiding people should be allowed to own firearms. Can you picture this happening in Houston? First idiot to shout "Jihad!" and 14 millions Texans would snuff this out in a weekend.

My opinion is that people should be allowed to own guns, but with a heavy level of restraint and regulation from government , much more than is currently enforced by the United States. Frankly many of the things the pro-gun lobby advocates are scary and stupid to me, like this absurd Florida law.
