does where you live also explain your inability to comprehend the realities of scientific, verifiable, and repeatable polling data?

they didn't just poll liberals in NYC and LA, ya know.

you seem kinda mad about what should be a mundane and non-threatening reality. seek help, perhaps.
Polls. If you poll it. Most Americans 85% will say that looking at porn is immoral. Yet, fully 65% will admit to it if asked, but not about morality.

So as I try to help I don't mind review. It is the questions that matter.

And what matters most is that it can be shown across the board people don't vote what they poll on issues.

What is answered in the street is different from what they tell the Critters. Then they go lie to the polls.

You need to read the polls about lying to the polls.

It is so obvious. In self rule we get what we want. It doens't matter what WE say, if we wanted it and the Constitution can be changed to allow it, it happens. Maybe what, 18 times after the first 10 amendments? Lots of fails. Those fails are very interesting. It shows the bar.

Polls are not votes in the USA and that is why the differ from reality, as you point out.

Well, remember, many here are Subjects. They can't get guns, much less permits.

As i brit i can tell you that your poll is ever so slightly skewed ;) Next you'll be telling us that 85% of brits want capital punishment brought back.

But, do you get the permit? Hell no. And will they tell you how many permits there are? No.

In the land of Oz, you cannot possess a handgun unless you are a competition shooter.


  • Category H: Handguns including air pistols and deactivated handguns. (Albeit both SA and WA do not require deactivated handguns to be regarded as handguns after the deactivation process has taken place. This class is available to target shooters. To be eligible for a Category H firearm, a target shooter must serve a probationary period of six months using club handguns, and a minimum number of matches yearly to retain each category of handgun.
These categories – A,B,C,D and H were those determined by the NFA. The others listed here are determined by the states that have implement them at their own discretion.
Target shooters are limited to handguns of .38 or 9mm calibre or less

You can still get em with the right cat. licence... $9500 for an colt/223 though... who would pay that?

What they really limited down here was calibre...

Without a criminal record you can get any permit you want. And you just go to the firearms registry to see what permits are available. Not hard.

You ASSume, in the land of oz, everyone gave up their guns. I know of many law abiding citizens that may have misplaced a handgun or two leading up to the buyback.

Your just scared if you don't have a gun you won't be able to protect your family... But guns don't help cowards become men or in your case does the "gun make the man'?

"to see what permits are available" does this mean that if you say "I wish to own a Colt 1911-model autoloader" they can say "no permit is available"? I'm not sure I get it. cn

No, man, worse than that.

Not a target shooter?
Larger than 9mm?

No permit.

And the childern may think what they want but that was an involuntary, confiscation of handguns that happened in Oz simple because they have no Constitution.

You may not own these weapons, and we are not taking about the illegal guns.

I'll await echelon's response ... he said "any permit you want" and I specified a rather vanilla gun. cn
