Yes, Brian, that's correct but at no point have I ever said that I'm against guns - never have been, never will be.
There is a MASSIVE difference between an officer of the law using firearms to control violent scum and
some brainless civilian running around the streets with an AK47, sub-machine gun, SA80 or any other such
weapon. If you read all of that topic you will see that I'm "pro" gun BUT only under certain strictly
controlled environments. Just to be clear, IMO, guns have their place and there are certain firearms that should
never be in public circulation. That topic was about gun control and I've never been against guns.
This topic is about one man's methods of dealing with violent and/or persistent offenders.
If we did the same then maybe my cousins youngest son would still be with us and, in turn, his son would get to
grow up with a dad ?
:wink:

Would be interesting though to know how many inmates return or if the majority actually go back into society never to return!! marg

Sorry Morag - most of the dispossesion and ill treatment of American Indians took place after independence. BTW all US citizens in Australia are commonly known here in Oz amongst the lads as "Seppos" - A corruption of the rhyming slang "Septic tank" - " Yank". Wee Ali

Wee Ali I don't think any of us can finger point when it comes to it, I doubt the Maoris, Indians, Africans, Chinese etc. were treated that well either, but I'm missing your point?
