Umm but Boxer, what happens if the only useful and effective positive
political contribution you can think of involves the highly illegal
usage of semi automatic firearms in and around the houses of
parliament ?

Not being able to utilise the only useful remedy to the problem just
leaves a lot of us feeling rather stymied...

No they should not, its not about motorcyclists generally and its not
about their use of motorcycles either. Its because of who they are
