I do hope that you are validating your stars and flags (Not nearly the numbers as this thread) as just those that are on your side.

You assume too much Gauss, and seem to be very much the fanboy. Now kindly get back in your box if you haven't even the mental aptitude to refute my points, which are all factual and true. I dare you!

But the anti gun crowd is no where near as rabid or emotionally invested as the pro gun side so I think a tiny bit more thought goes into it for the anti side.

Within 5 min of this thread being posted it had 6 flags and all his posts had been starred an equal amount of times, the people doing the starring and flagging blatantly had no chance to read 4 full posts worth of replies before deciding if it was a valid argument or not.

I have yet to see anything you have posted even closely resembling "factual and true". You're just spewing opinion. I have presented factual and true data and the problem is: it's very difficult to refute. Thus the emotional & opinionated responses. And when you repeatedly have your argument blown to pieces, you resort to petty BS. Classy.
The factual and true data you have posted, Im curious, is it as factual and true as your post regarding Australia banning guns to kill and displace the aboriginals
Im still waiting on the other thread for you to back this up with your "facts" or even a blog as a source.
Once again you get stars and flags because of a "hes on my side" mentality as opposed to having a valid argument or good points.
Your rebuttals to my points was unbelievably weak, so much so that you didnt even address my rebuttals to yours.
But of course the reason you didnt actually refute anything was because Im deluded or a troll
It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact your point of view is unbelievably contradictory to anyone with any common sense.

Actually anti-gun are much worse... you treat every one like they are going to hurt you if they are able to defend themselves.... you want everyone disarmed, leaving them open to armed predators...
anti gun people rarely bathe
anti-gun people Need to clean your hair
not to mention the smell
I have a simple question for you?
What is the police response time for where you live in austrailia?

Are the citizens of the states in the same predicament they were when that constitution was drawn up?

I'm sorry but I'm not sure I understand the point your making.
My view is that government shouldn't be involved in a whole host of topics regarding human life. It's just by coincidence that one of those matters happens to be guns. The government has no right to tell people they cant have a gun or own pretty much anything. It's morally wrong for them to even try. That's what freedom is.
5) If guns are banned then only criminals will have guns
Every country has criminals with guns, it has been suggested if you really want a gun you can get one. This is true for criminals with resources to buy them and access to people who deal in them. I doubt very much that the majority of people who have committed these recent shootings fit into this category.
It is very easy to get a gun anywhere in the world. And criminals do have the resources to buy them, how else would they get them? If they don't, they just steal them. Your 'doubts' don't constitute FACTS.

That's my point, many people only feel the need to own one because they live in fear, and why do you think that is? My guess is because America has terrible gun laws.

The big fear here is being powerless to prevent bad things happening to good people.

And so your argument devolves into calling someone who is not of the US who happens to agree with Americans who want to preserve the Constitution as written a fanboy?? How typical and disgusting. This is not a case of Us vs. Them. I do not look down on anyone from any country and in fact have many friends from all over the world even though I have never had the financial luxury to travel beyond my own countries borders. I will admit that some of the people that have been the most vocal about voicing thier opinion have been insulting. However I think the same can be said for people on both sides of the issue. I have seen some rather disparaging insults lobbed both ways. So I ask you, please get off your high horse and don't resort to personal attacks. It not only makes you look foolish but also greatly weakens the position of your viewpoint for you and all those who agree with your view.
