"KAP deputy leader Hinchinbrook MP Nick Dametto said the popularity of the petition was an indicator of community fear."
aBClenk.

what I'd like answered is what %age of the Qld community would back this.

it seems the supporters want to be able to shoot home invaders, or even property invaders, without having consequences.

imo this will encourage people to use a gun as the first defence.

Time to change the "reasonable force" rule to more of a deterrent (and consequences) for these crims.

btw...your headline not even correct. More research needed by you as usual.
