Taking a swipe at the "anti's"

The Cheek of Some People!

As some of you may have heard, we're having a Federal Election down here. Some local clown from the "I hate guns party" actually had the cheek to stick some Liberal Party advertising material in my letterbox!

I truely wish these so-and-so's would print their rubbish on softer and more absorbent paper so it could be put to a suitable use!

Reproduced below is my reply:

Dear Mr Curtis,

I thank you for the recent arrival of Liberal Party advertising material in my letterbox, but feel the need to inform you it is a waste of your resources.

Whilst I was once a Liberal voter, those days are long gone. You see, I am also a licenced law-abiding recreational firearm owner who is heartily sick and tired of Mr Howard's repeated attacks and vilification of me and people like me.

Since 1996, the Howard Liberal Government has spent over 1 billion dollars in a campaign to, as Mr Fischer once put it, to "drain the suburbs of Sydney and Melboune of firearms". This campaign has seen hundreds of thousand of law-abiding Australians face vilification and the arbitary confiscation of their property and destruction of sporting interests built and cherished over many years. This campaign has seen no definable decrease in the criminal misuse of firearms.

I wonder how many lives could have been saved it that 1 bilion dollars had instead been spent on health services infrastructure?

Whilst I congratulate you in your selection as a Liberal Party candidate, I do not wish you or your party well in the upcoming election.

As a member of Mr Howard's "Team", could you pass on a message to that man for me. He can take his "social engineering" practices and stick them where, as our American counsins say "the sun don't shine".

Regards

Thanks for listening to my rant everyone, soap-box mode now off!
