i'm from Australia.
Having weapons are stupid and is one of the dumbest ideas brought to America but Americans who give up their guns.
So Instead of getting rid of all guns (because you guys hate that)
Get rid of Semi-auto, Full-auto and only use single shot weapons aka hunting rifles and pistols.
That is all anyone needs to defend themselves.

Some of the victims in Paris might have survived if they had a gun to defend themsleves. Gun laws won't work because criminals don't follow laws.

i just heard today on Australian news, Americans have had 352 mass shootings THIS YEAR. Australia has not had a mass shooting since 1980. If you count 2 people dead as mass then last year. The Paris attacks were out of the Parisian's hand. These mass shootings have occurred from American hands not Terrorists and yes maybe you're point of someone having a gun may have saved them. BUT leave it only to SECURITY AND PROFESSIONALS.

Doubt I would trust a redneck with an AR in a dark stadium firing wildly at a terrorist.
-
Which is why you would die in that situation. Have fun going through life as a pussy.
-
Thank you. I've been using Australia as an argument point. Please tell my fellow Americans that banning guns lowers shootings to an unbelievable rate.
-
And this is why your dumbass nation couldn't fight for their freedom and only got it when the communist libtards got control of the British Parliament

Heroine, cocaine, meth, ect is illegal. We can all agree to this point, yes? So because it is illegal, there must not be any drug problems in any prohibition countries, right? I mean logically..... Logically making something illegal/banning as a way of removing crime is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. If someone wants a class 3 full auto or a single shot .22 to commit a crime they will get it. Legality bears no merit. What about the mass stabbings (chinese subway) or the us movie theater attack where the guy attacked movi goers with a hatchet? I guess we should ban kitchen knives and hatchets too..... All you do in that instance is disarm the legal, responsible gun owners and leave them defenseless.

It's in our constitution that civilians should be as well armed as there government. Sorry your country sucks. Sucks to suck bro.

There is a big difference between Australian and American government systems. We in Australia have an intricate series of checks and balances, such as the manner in which courts work with legislation and the separation of power between the government, executive office and the judiciary that prevent the people from ever being opressed by the government. You have the right to bear arms to achieve the same effect. Personally i prefer our system as it does not have the massive gun crime side effects.

I have no problem if it's harder to get them. But trying to ban guns would be the worst idea possible. Don't -blam!- me over because some -blam!-ing jack ass wants to shoot up a school.

[quote]It's in our constitution that civilians should be as well armed as there government. Sorry your country sucks. Sucks to suck bro.[/quote] Then why is your grammar not as well-equipped as your government?

So by that right, you could own a tank. Seems fair, amirite?
-
Except we can own tanks.....
-
Then could I get a military grade attack chopper, tank, RPG, mini gun and an assortment of around 7,700 nuclear warheads? [spoiler]in the name of self defence, of course.[/spoiler]
-
actually you can buy a mini gun
-
Considering its estimated that there are about 10000 nukes on the planet you'd have to do some borrowing.

Edited by Phezzick: 11/28/2015 11:18:43 PMYes, yes, no (why would the U.S. use shit rpg's?), yes and no. But what would you do with a nuke as personal use anyways? I'm lost with the rationality of that one.
-
Oh, the irony is real
-
Edited by miggamatch: 11/28/2015 10:59:41 PMGetting a license to have a fully automatic weapon is pretty hard to do, so chances are its not legal anyways. Also, people who don't understand what a semiautomatic weapon is, should not be making ani-gun arguments.
-
Actually obtaining and owning a class 3 full auto is easy enough, provided you have a large ammount of cash and the patience of a monk. Paperwork and federal background checks are a pain. That is why I build my own. The beauty of a type 7 ffl/sot.
-
Are pistols not semi auto?
-
I don't like guns but in this country that shit ain't feasible
-
Don't subjugate people based on what you do and don't like
-
Yeah I realize, that's why I'm saying we'll never have the level of gun control in this country
-
If you think about the historical origin of the amendment then you can see why it was put in there, but really the only way to regulate guns would be to stop them from being introduced in the first place.
