Rationale, there was a mass murder using firearms here in Tasmania in 1996. Subsequent, following forced surrender of all auto, semiauto and many other firearms plus compulsory licensing, there have been no further massacres. Therefore the law is successful in preventing massacres using firearms. Unlike you, Max, I have an understanding of statistics and experimental design. Who you callling a whacko...apple cruncher!?

They are working on it, Police areconstantly on the lookout for weapons, confiscate and charge when they are found. As I said I prefer to live where it isn't necessary Sydney is becoming a right **** hole, courtesy and safety wise. Some places are fine - northern beaches for example. I had a moment about buying another place on Dangar Island when I was up last month. Got over it tho when the rest of the family rebelled. I prefer to live where it isn't necessary. And I do. My tooling gets used to build my house, make boat bits, help out friends and the like. I have a couple ideas for a different sort of boat winch, just need the time to make some patterns and get the castings done. I have a couple sets of bronze porthole castings that I'm machining up ATM. Sounds interesting. PITA but so what..... forgot how 'grabby' bronze was, had to grind small flats on the top of the lathe tools to stop dig-ins. Bring your new toy boat down for a visit, I have a spare mooring out the front provided you don't draw more than 1.8m. The neighbour across the road has a nice boutique winery. Draft is 6', but I won't see her again till early next summer. I'll quite probably come down and visit as long as you don't shoot at me ...OK? :-) Hell, the only guns I have in Tasmania are 3 muzzle loading cannons I haven't got around to machining yet. My excuse is that the castings need extensive ageing. So you're pretty safe. Marinas at Kettering are 5 minutes drive away. Amazingly, I expect to actually manage to be in Australia next summer. Pity about autumn tho. PDW |

I'd love to oblige you, Mooron, but as I explained earlier, the prime tenet of my training centered around avoiding combat at all costs. I'll leave the natives to you, since you seem to have a penchant for causing the breakage/wielding of beer bottles. I did an externship at Browning, MT, when I was in school. The nearest physician was about ten miles away and perpetually drunk during his off hours--a five-martini man, so if the locals went at each other with bottles and knives, my fellow students and I got called in to stitch them up. It was way beyond the scope of our training, but we learned quickly. Saw lots of bottle cuts, and none were anything near life-threatening. But each to his own. Hope the beer and the native women are worth it. Max |
