Shocked and horrified by yesterdays news headlines that Law abiding citizens of Australia, licenced farmers and sporting shooters can purchase and register a secondary firearm, and yet not surprisingly, Sam, Lee and the Anti Gun Lobby are silent, mute, struck dumb, not shocked, not horrified, no protest, at all by headlines like this? Wheres the poll? Do you agree with selling porn promoting stationary to school children? Maybe this news story is not worthy of such a poll. The anti-gun lobby seems uninterested in this? Who cares. I garantee that if the mug had a picture of a firearm on it they would be all over the story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm still wondering why the Greens and the anties are not shocked and horrified by news headlines like this? Maybe they see nothing wrong with their own children purchasing products promoting pornography?
But what ever they do, they dont allow their children to go hunting, engage in target shooting, go fishing or camping with their dads and maybe learn something real and tangible about life and gain a true respect for the environment. How sad. And its getting worse every day?

A STATIONERY company has been blasted for promoting a series of porn-themed products in its back-to-school sale.
Typo's product line includes a travel mug that says "Porn is my saviour" and an iPhone cover featuring a naked woman sitting provocatively in a cross-legged pose with the word "dirty" above her.
A notebook featuring a topless woman pouting in front of a bullseye is also for sale, while another appears to be trying to emulate the front of a porn magazine, the Herald Sun reported.
The words "entertainment for men" appear over a photo of a naked woman.
An online petition calling for the withdrawal of the products gathered more than 500 signatures in a day.
Anti-child exploitation group Collective Shout spokeswoman Melissa Tankard-Reist said parents should boycott Typo and companies like City Beach, which sells a pencil case featuring topless women.
"This all seems to be part of a theme where pornography has invaded the back-to-school sale," she said.
"A notebook with a topless woman in front is glamourising violence against women.
"To promote pornographic violence against women is bad enough, but to promote it as part of a back-to-school sale and to suggest porn and violence are appropriate for the classroom is disgraceful."
Teacher Josephine Harris signed the petition and said many of her year 7 and 8 students had Typo stationery."That they are marketing porn to students this age is abhorrent," she said.
Cotton On, the company that owns Typo, was slammed in 2009 for making light of child abuse when it sold baby jumpsuits emblazoned with the message "They shake me".
The company did not respond to the Herald Sun's requests for comment.
