Campbell Newman and bikie laws

[Dan Filetti]

Your government has gone insane on this. Are there no powers to keep these dangerous loonies in check?

Glad to see we're not the only ones -no that this is much consolation to you folks....

There is a reason Australians are portraying their politicians as Nazis. Nazis also passed insane laws after they disarmed the populace. There was nothing to keep them in check.  Sorry Arnie this is about guns ---Dave

Dave,

Do you honestly think that the weapons that the general population can obtain, even in the US, are enough to stop a govenment from enacting or enforcing inane laws?  When was the last time you shot a Texas Ranger for giving you a speeding ticket?  What do you think the outcome of your 15shot 9mm semi-auto pistol vs a gov't F15 would be?  And, as you mis-understand these laws, what would you do with your sidearm anyhow, kill the cop trying to enforce the "anti-bikie" laws?  Don't you realize that the best armed, best trained, most able to overwhelm by sheer numbers gang is the POLICE and their associates (like National Guard, Army, Air Force, etc)?  And, they get mean when you've harmed one of there own.  All those weapons at Waco didn't stop the FBI from 'winning' that fight.

You stop these types of inane laws in the courts.  This will happen in Qld., unfortunately it takes some time for the legal system to function.  And Campbell-Newman and his particular political party will be out of office soon, probably at the next election. Anarchy will only encourage them, and possibly convince the balance of the population that these abrogation of basic rights laws ARE needed.

Off topic but why do you think Australians don't own and regularly use guns both longarm and handguns (be they pistols or revolvers) for legitimate sporting and recreational uses, it has nothing to do with the current conversation on politicians panicing and police not being able to cope with their already existing powers.

What Queensland has done is way past wrong and does not appropriately deal with the current criminal business model. These laws will be overturned in the higher courts and it will be a tipping point for a change of government, thank goodness nsw is not tagging along.
