    Victoria banning duck hunting?

    Looks like we might get a few more Aussie hunters over here next year

    And apparently some of the top end union reps are keen duckshooters. And they have told government inspector types to keep their reps the f.... off all work sites until the duckshooting rules are reversed. According to a interview I heard on the radio last week.

    Laurie Levy and a bunch of his bellend anti-duck hunting groupies have been trying this annually for the past 25 years or more in Victoria.

    This latest media beat-up comes as no real surprise under the current Labor government, but given about 24,000 people hold hunting licences in Victoria, I can imagine it will turn pretty messy.

    Still, we may get a few jump-the-ditch to go duck hunting.

    They must be quackers to be considering banning duck hunting.

    Am I the only one that thinks this is a logical first step toward banning shot guns altogether?

    Absolutely. Happens all the time - remove legitimate use then ask why you need it because you can't legally use it for anything.

    While i agree that the answer is likely correct, unfortunately I cannot 'like' it.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    There are plenty of other legitimate uses for Shotguns.
