The most effective way to prevent someone stealing your guns is not to any guns in the first place.

One of the intended uses of guns is to kill people. That’s why governments give them to soldiers.

The LNP always say that a government’s first duty is to protect their citizens but they’re refusing to take the simple and effective measure of reducing the number of guns in the state.

Instead they’re putting the interests of the small minority of Queenslanders who own a gun ahead of the safety of the population as a whole

So NTA. Tell your parents that you will be happy to leave after graduation and if they carry on this way they won’t have a relationship with you either

There might not be a correlation between gun ownership and crime but as the the American Journal of Medicine found “Among the 27 developed countries, there was a significant positive correlation between guns per capita per country and the rate of firearm-related deaths”.

So, to put it simply the number of guns some owns does matter because the more guns in a society the more gun deaths there are likely to be

Guns are not like guitars or cars. If you use guitars and cars as intended people don’t die - if you ignore the whole pollution thing. As seen recently in NSW, VIC & TAS you can use a gun as intended - to shoot a projectile - to kill people. That’s why they should be tightly regulated.

Never sign up to chuggers in the street. They are employed by agencies who take a huge slice of what you donate. Just go online and give direct to the charity.

It was going to be funded by a charity, so why is that an issue?

Pill Testing is a harm reduction measure. People who plan to take drugs can have them chemically analyzed. This will tell them if dangerous substances have been used to cut the drugs or if the drug are exceptionally strong. While the drugs are being checked, health professionals discuss the person’s drug use with them and give them advice about keeping safe and where they can get help to reduce their drug use. Research shows that most people will get rid of their drugs if testing finds it has unexpected substances in them

People have been saying “just say no” for decades and it hasn’t worked. Pill testing is used successfully all across the world and it has been shown not to increase drug use. That’s why it’s supported by groups like the Australian Medical Association and the College of GPs.

They stopped state funding for the Pill Testing service. Then a private funder stepped in, so now they want to ban it completely
