Cathy you're back,<br />And again you're full of shit, You should check your figures before you mouth off.<br />Yes reduce the firearms in Iraq I agree if its possible but a 100% success for Australia's Gun buy back scheme you have to be joking <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <br />Do you know the rifle that Martin Bryant used in Port Arthur, it was handed in to the police months before the massacre, how did this weapon leave the hands of the police and find its hands in Bryant hand,,,,,CORRUPTION.<br />The Buy back scheme was a success? What a joke, do you think the average Criminal would hand in his firearm?,,,,,,,,(arrrrrrrghhhhhh Boss, we can't rob that bank next week because John Howard asked us to hand in our weapons, hummmmm, we better rob it this week so we can hand them in the week after).<br />You have proven over different matters that you don't know what you are talking about.<br />THE BUY BACK WAS A TOTAL FAILURE, only honest licenced shooters handed in newly illegal firearms and the blackmarket became rife.<br /><br />Possibly one day all you do-gooders will succeed and no civilian will be allowed to keep any type of firearm. Now look at this scenario Cathy...<br /><br />Cathy says we don't want war, leave Saddam do what he wants, and of course Afghanistan shouldn't have ever been invaded.<br />1/We let all the rouge nations do what they want!!<br />2/Australia will never be invaded we are too far away.<br />3/we don't need a military, or down size it.<br />4/remove all private ownership of firearms.<br />5/we don't need the yanks as allies because we want peace. THAT CATHY SAYS....<br /><br /><br /> Now this is what would happen Miss Cathy if you were our Prime minister like you said in your original post.<br /><br />If Australia ever got invaded by a rouge nation<br />this is what would probably happen.<br />1/ If we don't have the yanks as an ally then we rely on your reduced military to defend us, 2/when they collapse then its the police's turn.<br />3/ and when they're gone its every man and women for themselves.<br />4/now the civilian population hummm whats going to happen then Cathy?.<br />Since you are in UNI, study what Adolph Hitler did before he invaded Europe.<br />And the Japs did the same.<br /><br />"They studied the ownership of civilian firearm ownership before invasion"<br /><br />Could you imagine if Iraq did not want to be invaded by the Yanks, and every man women and child manned an AK-47 and attacked the US soldiers invading.<br /><br />Cathy you are a joke.<br /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <br />Phil
