The "previous poster" was me, and I take exception to your reference to "the level of ignorance and of and paucity of rational thought" (sic). FYI have a look at: http://www.csmonitor.com/durable/2000/03/24/p7s2.htm and http://www.bradycampaign.org/facts/issuebriefs/australia.asp as well as http://www.salon.com/politics2000/feature/2000/04/03/nra/ where the NRA lies are disproved. Or do as I did and type Australia+NRA into your favourite search engine.
"There are many things that Australia can learn from the United States. How to manage firearm ownership is not one of them," Australia's attorney general, Daryl Williams said in 2000. BTW, Keith Tidswell is a stooge of the NRA, thus there is no journalistic legitimacy in their interview of him. HAR!
