For those people who were arguing in favour of gun control laws, take a look at this (hopefully it works): accountant_4_Jesus Aug 07, 00:16

You live in Australia right? Homicide rates by firearm have gone down since their 1996 gun law. {nm} Antibody Aug 07, 10:02

Nutjobs,lunatics and the determined dishonest will always find a way to get weapons {nm} blaze223 Aug 07, 10:12

Everyone's innocent until they commit a crime. That isn't even logical. Jane_Citizen Aug 07, 13:21

That quote is scary. People with strange personality traits can be prevented can be discriminated upon? elchan Aug 07, 14:19

No, the point is that they can't. So you don't know which person is necessarily going to be the one who (cont) Jane_Citizen Aug 07, 22:51

I believe we need to control what kind of weapons should be so easily accessible. However, I'm not for gun control in general. elchan Aug 07, 14:21

Ok, I'll try to respond to all of your comments: accountant_4_Jesus Aug 07, 16:11

Actually they have laws against some kinds of cars. They don't allow spikes on your wheel hub caps, and battering rams on your bumper. elchan Aug 07, 19:38

I prefer the freedom from being potentially threatened with a gun. Jane_Citizen Aug 07, 20:27

Chicago has very strict laws against handguns. They sound really safe from being potentially threatened with a gun. {nm} Tanker Aug 08, 15:13

Supreme Court Ruling: Police have ZERO responsibility to save the life of a "citizen" DMac needs to read this IM -more- arf Aug 10, 00:05

The above is why the words "To Protect and Serve" no longer appear on police vehicles. {nm} arf Aug 10, 00:10

Cars is used for transportation. The sole purpose of assulat rifles and handguns is to kill people. Antibody Aug 08, 08:29

Nope. Target practice, protect livestock from attacks, protection from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Tanker Aug 08, 15:17

Guns were invented to kill people, period. You can still have hunting rifles for hunting and protecting livestock. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 15:28

Ted Kennedy has killed more people with his car than I have with my handgun. Which, BTW, I used to prevent a crime. Tanker Aug 08, 15:33

It's laughable how you equate cars and guns. Antibody Aug 08, 15:38

Apparently comprehension is a problem. You said guns were invented to kill people, period. I've never used mine to kill anyone. Tanker Aug 08, 15:48

They are called car ACCIDENTS. You haven't used your gun yet. How many crimes have you prevented? {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 15:57

I used my gun in the prevention of a crime. I have never used it kill anyone. Despite your claims about what a gun's intended purpose is. Tanker Aug 08, 16:03

So you have actually shown a gun to someone about to commit a crime against you, who then ran away at the sight of a gun? {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 16:08

Hard to believe, huh? I didn't even have to fire a warning shot. A most excellent deterent. Responsible law-abiding citizens should try it. Tanker Aug 08, 16:17

Somehow, i doubt it has ever happened. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 16:32

It might come as shock to you, but I really don't give a rat's red **** what you believe. Tanker Aug 08, 16:50

In DMac's defense, guns were invented to kill (people &\| animals). That doesn't mean that is all they are used for, however. {nm} PRodNano Aug 08, 18:10

DMac said the sole purpose of assault rifles and handguns is to kill people, an uniformed, demonstrably false statement. {nm} Tanker Aug 09, 03:33

Yes,. that's what they are designed for. Your feeling of protection comes from the threat of bodily harm from those guns. {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 10:03

I was stating my beliefs on a topic. How is that trolling? accountant_4_Jesus Aug 08, 19:20

What about transferable weapons and destructive devices? wroberson Aug 08, 20:08

While I'm here, vist, "The Gun Store" In Las Vegas. It's a trip... wroberson Aug 08, 20:10

Yeah, I was there, and it was a hoot. No wonder people own these assault rifles. But, I still think they should stay at the range. {nm} elchan Aug 10, 15:31

Starting a thread with a political cartoon that attacks those that disagree with you on a controversial topic is trolling for comments. {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 10:01

Actually handguns can be used for target shooting, however once can argue that the assault rifle is purpose built to kill. elchan Aug 09, 18:25

My 2 cents (a long post) baronblacksheep Aug 09, 06:27

While I disagree with your points of view, without free and open discussion of issues no problem will ever be solved. {nm} Tanker Aug 09, 07:49

As to the island - They'd need heavier weaponry to hold onto their land from outside forces. There are no perfect worlds, sadly. {nm} arf Aug 10, 10:25
