Former Australian deputy PM Tim Fischer proposes 'massacre tax' on US guns trade | Stuff.co.nz
Anothe shit-for-brains politician telling other people what they should do at the expense of legitimate gun buyers/owners. Tim Fischer was never renowned as a great intellect, but he's really outdone himself in the stupidity stakes this time.Like Australia's tiny, over-controlled firearms market would have any influence on US export policy. I once used to think, "Well someone's got to do it", about politicians; however I'm now beginning to despise all of them on principle. The only thing they contribute to society is a never-ending supply of bullshit and hysteria. I'm gonna vote for NZ FIrst, this time. The main parties are just full of bottom-feeding scum, and rocksnot. Today's rant over.

i just read that article, can you imagine the cost of 22lr being $40 a brick !!
the guy is a tosser of everest magnitude

That'd be brilliant, back to 1995 prices

It's Australia, which politically is so unstable you don't know who is running the country next week.

NZFirst ? Just keep both eyes open,

Attachment 54461

they're not quite the knight in shining amour you're expecting, after all, they're professional politicians like all of them (translation: self serving)

Ahh, finally read the article in question.

All to do with USA exiting WTO and abandoning their current trade agreements.

If Trump becomes president and makes good on his threat to welch on free trade agreements and to take America out of the World Trade Organisation, the international community should slap a massive tariff on all guns and ammunition produced and exported from the US.

Which means it'll never happen.

Well as long as they Pander to me, that's okay. At least Winnie tries to do some stuff right. And he listens well enough know he needs to do some pandering. He's getting a few things underway up North and trying to keep some promises. Key and Co lost me totally when he said NZ Forces would not be coming home when he
"promised" they would. But yes, you're right; politicians are pretty much scum, by definition.
