    2nd Amendment thread

    That line gets trotted out quite a lot but even criminals find it difficult to get firearms in Australia, just on the basis of cost alone. Some junkie is just not going to be able to afford a gun to rob you with...

    2nd Amendment thread

    We can't own firearms for self defence. It's not a genuine reason. Professionals who need firearms, eg Police, correctives, cash in transit guards etc, can carry firearms for that purpose, but usually only whilst on duty. Most cops leave their firearm at work here. If they do take it home they...

    We've never had a right to bear arms in Australia so there are no rights to get back as such.

    And I'm probably a lesser man for that. That's good to hear, not that you feel that way, but that you feel sick about it. Genuine concern because you expect more from your Law Enforcement is, IMHO, a healthy thing, and clearly you remember a time when they were better than that. That's...

    Host Of The View Says Greenwood Park Mall Hero Broke The Law ( professional victim vs liberty and freedom ) : Colion Noir

    I don't want to sell anyone who makes the decision to step up short at all. I commend that, however at the same time I don't want nufties who think that having a firearm makes them superman roaming around with firearms. If you want to be one of the sheepdogs that protect the flock from the...

    2nd Amendment thread

    On the Australian political spectrum, I've always been centre right, and I despise wokeness, but, from my limited knowledge of US politics, I suspect I'd be labelled a bleeding heart communist. I've always liked the respect and admiration most Americans had for their military and law...

    Host Of The View Says Greenwood Park Mall Hero Broke The Law ( professional victim vs liberty and freedom ) : Colion Noir

    The nuance is that anyone with any firearm is not this guy. So do I, but do you think if he had stayed home that day and "Walmart Mom" was there she would have been able to do eight from ten at 40 yards?

    Look I'm not American, so what's obvious to you may not always be to me. Whats the problem with their data, and what does their mission statement have to do with it? @bigredfish seems to think their data is ok.

    Can't Reach 192.168.1.108

    If the Cameras are plugged into the NVR they will be on a different subnet assigned by the NVR. You will not be able to reach the cameras via the NVR. Or are you trying to reach the web interface on the NVR? Have you tried just using port 80? I'm assuming you have already checked that your...

    Tuesday Night Action - Shooting down the street

    No one, but at the same time there are far too many people who don't have a plan to actually hit it either, They have a firearm, but time at the range learning to shoot under pressure is not in the plan. Someone once said use the largest calibre you can shoot accurately but I'm a pragmatist and...

    Tuesday Night Action - Shooting down the street

    I'm calling amateurs for invoking the calibre wars. It doesn't matter if you are firing 50 cal (12.7 x 99 not .50AE) if you don't hit the target.

    I’m going to arrest you?!?

    The jurisdictional pissing matches you have in the United States are insanity. Here in Australia, each State and the Northern Territory have their own Police forces. The ACT and smaller territories are looked after by the Australian Federal Police. The local Police are the State Police no...

    2nd Amendment thread

    I don't tend to take anything the media says as gospel, unless I can verify it myself. I like primary sources, such as the FBI. As you can see the actual number of these things happening versus the actual number reported in the media are very different. That's because professionals follow...

    Host Of The View Says Greenwood Park Mall Hero Broke The Law ( professional victim vs liberty and freedom ) : Colion Noir

    "and he did it effortlessly" Anyone that gets 8 from 10 on a moving target at 36 metres with a pistol hasn't done it effortlessly. He just paid the effort forward. "he was a hero" Totally agree, but he wasn't an accidental hero, he was a guy that clearly spent a lot of time to be prepared...

    I'm an outsider, looking in, so my assessment is just an interpretation of what I see, but I think that Trumps election has polarised the United States even further, and had the unintended consequence of stoking extremism on both sides of the political divide. If there is a centre voice in...

    Those of us, who I affectionately like to call gun nerds, who can cite the SAAMI specs for each round might enjoy such a technical debate, but it isn't going to sway the chattering masses. It's just not a hill that I think anyone who loves their shooting, and loves their firearms should be...

    Or to look at it another way, the federal employees whose decisions you like are protected. This is identical to what happens here in Australia. Liability attaches to the Crown (Government) for the acts of it's employees and agents. This is good for lots of reasons but the biggest two are this...

    (Negotiating the divorce settlement) You can have the kids and the house, but your old man is mine! I don't think he has thought out how that will be used against his own interests in the current environment. Whilst I personally find the argument that a semi automatic only copy of an assault...

    If she was smart she should have turned on that reporter with something like "Did you not go to primary school? You are genuinely asking if there is a plan in place for succession of leadership? Of course there is a plan in place, there has been since before this administration and there will...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Lets see, an electrician's apprentices are electricians in training, a plumber's apprentices are plumbers in training, but a fairy godmother's apprentices are not fairy godmothers in training?
