Good to see the thread has devolved from an intelligent debate to mockery and insults on behalf of the gun advocate crowd. This is not particularly surprising to me any more seeing as it is a tactic the gun advocate crowd use regularly in threads on ATS.

This is not a thread I wish to be part of any longer, I may return if sanity does but until then I'm out.

Have a nice day and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Anyone remember the Forest Gump movie with the smiley face? I know it was just a movie but couldn’t they have even come up with a good bumper sticker? BTW vegemite is the worst stuff I have ever tried to eat on toast. It is kind of like a beef bouillon paste. I had seen them eating it on toast and I thought it would be sweet from the looks. It is kind of like taking a drink of something with one taste in mind and being totally surprised unpleasantly I will add.

Im Australian and i support the freedom America has.

This country is a joke/slave country.
Owning a damn paintball gun or air soft gun requires a gun license, life review.
Have a speeding ticket and you'll get rejected from a license because your a 'criminal'.

If you manage to get one, and bring it out in public in any circumstance, your are convicted under "intent with a semi automatic weapon"
They are toys, not weapons of mass destruction.

I do think they're should be some kind of limitation to the availability of guns, as they are weapons of death. BUT not to the extent of Australia.
After all, how many countries own weapons and have the same amount of deaths as Australia?
Quite a few...

Its not the fact America has guns, its the culture/morals.

Yes guns in Australia are regulated.
If i want to go kill a 20 or so people, all i have to do is contact a local motorcycle group and get an illegal gun.
Easy as that.

I think you will find that since the gun buyback and banning of semi automatic weapons in Australia there have been zero mass shootings. Before the ban there were quite a few.

I think the reason that people from other countries would like to see some better gun laws in the US is because we are sick of seeing things like sandy hook happen.
You have to ask yourself, if Adam Lana didn't have access to the AR15, would so many kids/people be dead?

By the way the ignorance about Australia is startling, I know from experience that a lot of Americans don't even know where Australia is, but I thought this had changed with the internet and all. But it appears most Americans are still only interested in their own country, despite their worsening economy and how most other countries see then in a negative light. Ignorance is Bliss

I forgot to mention to the tune of the dueling banjo song from Deliverance.

There it is. Know that is an invention known the world over. It’s a boomerang.



Did you know the Dude is a Zen master?

I find your mockery of my country to be in extreme distaste and it has no place on this website, or in any form of civilised conversation. Shame on you.
