Yes, I have no problem with farmers, park rangers and the likes having guns. Anyway, many other people have permits to own guns too. Just not fully automatic ones.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Really I can't think of a reason why a regular ol' citizen is ever going to need an automatic weapon.

I was just reading the news and coming here to ask if all the Melbourne Buffistas and their loved ones are OK. It's good to know they are.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The shooting happened on the sixth floor of the Robert Menzies building, which is home to the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.
I really hate to bring this up, but wouldn't this be where Angus teaches? Has he checked in?

I think Angus is still out ill. I am not, however, certain.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Just more reassurance for plasmo that all Americans are not gun-boosting zealots. Both of my brothers are cops who regularly patrol, do traffic stops, intervene in domestic disputes, et cetera, all occasions made much more perilous by the quick access that our society is permitted access to hand guns.
(At minimum, I feel guns should be licensed/permitted along the same lines that cars are, which includes annual inspections and 'gun insurance.')

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Really I can't think of a reason why a regular ol' citizen is ever going to need an automatic weapon.
It's for hunting your modern superanimals.

I'm OK! I'm OK! I was actually teaching at Melbourne Uni, not Monash, and I'm unemployed at the moment, but it was sweet of people to worry...Actually my brother is a student at Monash, but at a different campus.

Actually plasmo, knowing that you're a fashion guru and all, I've just come into some money (actually an inheritance from my mother, not to be ghoulish...) and I'm up for a major spending spree. Obviously I know Chapel Street and so on, but are there any interesting places in Melbourne that do boys' stuff that I should know about? Either club/casual or high fashion type stuff. But, you know, something that someone in their VERY EARLY 30s could wear. Any thoughts?
