Nope. Massacres still occur. . You have and always will be more likely do face physical harm from a car driver or someone intoxicated by alcohol than guns. The fatality statistics show that. So why be vocal about something which posses far less threat to your or your families lives? Logic...

I move in a great many circles. And many probably still have illegal guns. All the gun buy-back did was give people for money for guns that had sitting in a shed for 20 years. People who cared little about giving them up.

Which doesn't seem to match at all with any of the vast amount of shooters POV I have come across over the time. Which seems a bit odd.

Well I'm happy for you to impart your knowledge of the Australian shooting culture for all to learn from. Be good to read your insights. Fire away (pun intended)

Actually I learnt all my swearing from playing Gaelic Football and Hurling for 20 years. And I don't drink ;)

You have displayed zero knowledge on guns and gun owners in this thread. Of course one has to assume that you've had very limited exposure to anything and everythign about them while out here.

Well if you have little interest in guns it would be fair to say that it wouldnt be something they would blurt out if they knew your position. I had a friend who got dobbed into the Police by a soft cock when he mentioned he'd not turned in all his guns.

I said he could have been, didnt say she was. Though it does say a lot about the Liberal idiots in the US.

They kept a lot of secrets from you ;)

Nobody calls their kid Bruce anymore :( Thus nobody to enforce the rules. They tried to get the Emersons to do it but they were too soft to carry it out.

No i'm a Libertarian, Gays are ok by me.

It's the same person. Maybe in 6 months when they reinvent themselves into a Native American a Y option will appear.

Thats all well and good mate, but that's something thats simply in your mind. It doesn't make it a real thing. Have you ever thought that its because of the people you associate with that you only hear one opinion? To say people have adjusted to it really can't be taken as much because the...

Don't be racist. For all we know he could have been the leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People...

I can see that. However that is no reason to ban something. Should alcohol be heavily restricted and policed because a fair % of people who use it can't use it responsibly? If we are apply the penalise the vast majority because of the actons of a few line to guns why shouldn't it then be...

There have been masacres, just not by guns. A mother stabbed 8 children to death, remember that? ban knives? Course not. And then there's the arson masacres. Ban anything which can start fires? Shit lets ban anything which can kill someone jsut because it "might" happen one day. Oh hunting...

I'm not. I own guns. When my government told me that they will pass a law that turns me into a criminal overnight and force me to sell MY property because they say I have to I pretty much thought **** you and buried the guns.

I think he's wrong that they offer no protection. They are one of the best forms of protection for someone if you are trained to a high level(which all people should be if they carry them). Switzerland prove if you are trained well in their use they can be held in private homes with relative...

I did in the 90's. I noticed a difference in the people in the big cities compared to those in the rural areas The people in South Dakota were far more pro-guns than those I came across in NY city or LA, San Fran, etc. I don;t ebelive the vast vast majority of people or gun owners in the US...

Ignorance is bliss. See it's like this, people want to ban it because they don't like it and it doesn't affect them. Suggest banning/restricting something they enjoy and they will not stand for it. Point in case alcohol vs guns. Alcohol has a far more devastating affect on the "global...
