Australian Digger fails to overturn guns ban.
What a sad state of affair's in a country where criminals roam the streets armed to the teeth!
Ashamedly, all I can say is this.
The Words of Remembrance are now a farce;
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them"
How will we remember these Australian war heros?
We will remember them and thank them for their sacrifice by taking away their leagally owned registered, and licenced firearms!
Why are we taking away their legally owned and registered firearms for which they are licenced to own?
Because the grey cardigans running this nanny state believe the diggers are are just getting too old to own them ????? Isnt that a good idea! Dissarm an old digger who lives alone on a property and leave him vulnerable to criminal home invaders who are armed to the teeth.
"Mr Molony said there was nothing in the relevant Act or regulations that "points to minimum standards of fitness necessary for the holder of a firearms licence""
.
Makes one ashamed to be an Australian.

A FRAIL 89-year-old World War II veteran, who lives alone on his NSW rural property, has failed to overturn a police decision revoking his firearms licence.
One of three policemen who went to the property said they were told: "I don't want you taking my guns. Haven't you blokes got anything better to do than going around harassing war veterans?"
The NSW Administrative Decisions Tribunal yesterday affirmed a decision by the NSW Commissioner of Police to revoke the firearms licence of Richard Neil Hawkins.
Mr Hawkins, a licensee for many years, told the hearing he was raised with firearms and strictly drilled by his father in their safe use and storage.
"His view is that the actions of the police, in suspending his firearms licence (and the subsequent revocation), defies common sense," said judicial member Peter Molony.
But Mr Molony was satisfied it was not in the public interest for him to continue holding a licence, for reasons including his frailty and chronic neck and back condition.
