Bruce - someone sent me a page of a Townsville (North Queensland) newspaper (article unlrelated to guns/violence); but on the back side was an article about a guy who broke into a house, tried to rape a woman, who then "reasoned with him" sufficiently that he walked out of her room calmly, then took a 4 year old girl from the same house to under the house and so*omi**d her.
He got 12 years for it (probably be out in 18 months though). I DO hope that his sentence is higher than firearms possession.
I wanted to send this back to lil' Johnny Howard, and congratulate him on his statement "self-defense is not a reason to own a firearm", and for making Australia safer. Thanks to his policies, noone was "shot" or killed - everyone survived, with little more than a 4 year old girl's "slight" mental anguish/emotional scarring and a piece of crud who was probably out of jail before I even got the news article.
I decided not to send this. I s**t you not, Australian government has become one that you do not criticize lightly - certain regimes are such that, even if you criticize them from afar, they have a habit of taking it out on the "perpetrator's" family, and I still have family there - and who knows I may get sucked into visiting to go to a wedding/funeral or something.
Greencard lottery, Bruce, Greencard lottery.
God Bless Texas.
