In the letters of The Age yesterday was an impassioned plea for the government to please think of the children finally get around to making guns illegal.

I replied, and The Age printed it:

THE Government has anticipated your concerns, Mr Tsironis (Letters, 18/6), and made the possession and transport of handguns, semi-auto rifles and knives illegal several years ago.

Perhaps they read your letter, went back in time, and informed a previous government who had never thought of that. Well done: we are now all retrospectively safe from violence on the streets. Heaven forfend that violent criminals might consider breaking the law, after all.

I wonder if this one will also find its way into Hansard? Somehow I doubt it.
