OP probably gets nervous when he sees someone other then a cop with a gun on the hip. When guns are outlawed only the outlaws will have guns. Keep your views to yourself, lets keep RnF without politics.

there are SO many outlaws with guns in Australia [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also even if that paranoid delusion of only outlaws will have guns actually did work out that way...

I dont fear outlaws with guns now, Ive never seen an outlaw. The only thing anyone should fear is stupid parents that have guns.

Getting rid of guns protects people that are smart enough to not have guns in the first place from dumb people that are all HUR DEE HURR I GOT *BLAM* dead neighbor.

You poo-pooed when I pointed out that there are big corollaries between fun ownership and lots of other things, but it's true.

Guns in the hands of properly educated and cautious citizens are no risk to others. Most of my family had owned (and carried) guns for their whole adult lives, with none of us ever having any mishap. Just like we all drive cars without killing anyone, drink alcohol without endangering our kids, fetilize our lawns without making bombs, clean our kitchens without making meth, own matches but have never burned down a house, etc etc etc.

Banning guns would create more trouble than it stopped. Taking reasonable steps to make sure gun owners are responsible? That's more like it.

I've always politically leaned left. But I never bought into the gun control crusade. Sure the NRA opposes good laws now and again (generally for the benefit of the gun industry) -- and gun nuts strike me as pathologically paranoid too. However, the reality is they gun control advocates never really connected the dots for how cracking down on legal guns is going to get rid of illegal guns.
What about Sandy Hook? This mentally stable Connecticut kindergarten teacher owns guns, her mentally addled son gets a hold of them and shoots up the kids. Then I hear all this shit about better mental health screening for guns...but he didn't buy the guns did he?; the woman that will pass any test we come up with did.
It strikes me as a waste of Political capital. There are more important issues to tackle in society than legal gun ownership. Maybe we should look at reasons people shoot other people in the first place and try to address those issues.

Even if they tried to disarm the American people there'd still be 1000s of unofficial weapons hidden away. If someone wants to shoot someone, they'll find a way.

Here in England we're 99% disarmed, so we get our fishing knives, kitchen knives, baseball bats etc and carry on regardless if we feel the need. Can't stamp out violent behavior completely, this isnt Demolition Man where society has evolved beyond violence... what a joke.

Hold onto your guns, for freedom and democracy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
