    no its not my problem. I don't feel a need to feel responsible for things I cannot change or that I had nothing to do with. we know many gun banners want to lay guilt trips on honest gun owners. I don't buy into that and I reject it as part of the normal dishonesty that the anti gun movement is based upon

    Yeah. Why should you care about the kids who will not grow up with their fathers and mothers. Or the kids that will not grow up at all. Bunch of bedwetters.....right?

    Hopefully the next mass shooting will be at an NRA meeting. Then perhaps things may change.

    Or not. Terrorists can get firearms, and if you think that the UK is immune to smuggling, I hope you're right.

    Actually, with armed civilians at hand, active shootings typically don't get above 2 dead. But thanks for wishing tragedy on innocents.

    You don’t need the imports, you have your own domestic feuding paras.

    this shows how hateful the gun restrictionists are-its not about controlling crime-its based on left-wingers' hate for the voting power of the NRA. I doubt it could happen there. too many well armed members. Maybe if it happened to the gun haters they might change their mind about being defenseless

    I don't believe you at all. Your reputation for baiting and insulting gun owners is well established. Look at your stupid quote. Its completely dishonest.

    Considering our crime is supposedly out control according to some gun evangelists on here. I too am surprised that this shooting didnt happen in sydney.

    Just to be clear, what percentage of Australians find themselves having to fight off an attacker to the degree that only a firearm will stop the attack? in a lifetime?

    To walk through life imagining that such an attack is always a heartbeat away, is deeply paranoid.

    I don't care about Australia. I don't live there, I don't plan on going there and I don't have a vote there. I care about the USA. in one of the safer areas in the NE USA I was the victim of a mugging. The muggers were targeting university students and I was a 26 year old graduate student-they apparently were too stupid to figure out that I could be packing. I was, they both lost, one almost died/

    IN CT, in an affluent suburb somewhat near my Alma Mater, a rich doctor was severely beaten, his wife murdered and his daughters raped and then burned alive. He apparently didn't think he needed a gun either.

    If crime is so low in your country that no one needs a gun for self defense, then it was stupid to ban guns wasn't it?

    Sounds like it's time you moved to Australia. Much safer.

    Nope, cant remember needing a gun once, or having a friend or family member in a situation where a gun was needed as described above.

    Odd that, since Australia is apparently so dangerous. Yet even in these "safe" parts of the US so many on here have personal experiences of needing a gun.

    I don't want to move to a country that is a nanny state. I prefer being a citizen rather than a subject.

    You can be a citizen of the USA and still live in the safety of Australia. I am sure you would find a place in Australia that would welcome you and you would have a nice SAFE life in.

    It seems you have nothing further to add to the debate besides personal insults or attacks on nationality. As usual

    that's an interesting comment coming from you given how many times you have posted crap like "its just a form" and other silly one liners. your quote is dishonest for example. you also have been caught telling falsehoods. you also are not willing to tell us why you praise gun banning governments and then deny you support gun bans. that sort of evasiveness is not conducive to "honest debate"

    Your praise of gun bans has been noted. Your insults and attacks on nationality are also noted
