Play with the stats how ever you like, but it took a massacre at Port Arthur for the entire country to see that something needed to be done about guns here in Australia. Some people got upset about gun control, but the silent majority wanted action on gun control and the media and politicians made sure it happened. You can still own a gun here, but you need to have a valid reason, a licence [which can be revoked if you are unfit to own a gun], and a lockable gun safe to store it in, located in a secure location. I KNOW that my family and I are still safer living in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia than just about anywhere else in the world. Guns have NO Loyalty to you or your family or friends. You cant take back shooting someone, no matter how hard you may try. Hugs and kisses and saying your sorry wont fix the damage they cause. How many school or shopping mall or cinema massacres of innocent people [particularly children] are you gun toting Americans going to experience before you begin to see sense? America may be the land of the Free, but its not home of the Brave. Most of you are scared and gun toting because you are scared of your gun toting crazy neighbours. Is that really a good way to live? Fixit

I think that might be an oversimplification, i.e. Guns banned = Catastrophic outcomes The US government bears very little resemblance to the regimes referenced above nor is it controlled by an Adolf Hitler, Idi Amin, Pol Pot or Josef Stalin. For genocide to occur, you usually need a ruthless dictator with limitless powers.

Can't argue a bit with you, your spot on !!! but the boot-licking liberals in this country don't think it's right for the rest of us to own guns, and it happens time and time again, they are the first to cry when something happens to them. Maybe we should outlaw, knives, baseball bats, tire irons, etc. then see what happens.

I will not turn over my guns to anyone. We in the US have the right to bear arms and I am doing just that. We all know it the person that does the killings no mater what form they use. I would not use a knife unless I was caught without my 9mm or AR-15. I know something is going to happen and I want to have a decent chance. I have myself and my siblings to worry about and friends. Some have guns and some don't so I'll have to make sure they all know something about firing a weapon. I have some friends that teach gun shooting and safety and are in my group. I am so very glad I don't live in Australia where guns are outlawed. Lets all just pray that we don't need them
