    You have at it then. Let me know when you've tossed all the bandages, spare tires (or is that tyre?) extra rolls of TP.... nothing like living on the edge, eh?

    So are you of the group that feels people should carry on, take pharmaceuticals and live in mental/emotional/physical pain?

    I can guarantee you that as religion declines in America, people are going to look back on gentler times.

    I think this may show that America's basic decency is finally showing. There is hope for us yet.

    No if there is suicide victims they're not alive. Suicide beats killing yourself you don't survive that.

    You could always survive failed suicide attempts.

    See that if cuts for magically disappeared from reality doesn't matter. Why don't you see if people magically didn't have mental illness then then wouldn't be suicidal in the first place.

    They're already our guns so you don't get to live in the world where they're not there.

    Are you of the group that would say "Do it" if someone says they are going to kill themselves?

    Nope. Listening to them, seeing them as human beings. Unfortunately, those that are determined, will find away.

    I cannot make their choices for them. <<<< That statement stands for pretty much everything.

    So, no answer to the question asked, just deflection.

    that's completely disconnected. The right to keep and bear arms is not a right to engage in illegal activity-which is punished.

    no, most of the rest of the world doesn't care-just leftwing gadflies and those who are jealous that our government doesn't treat our citizens like irresponsible children-=as do the governments of those who complain.

    Try to use a gun in a crime in the UK and you could get 15 years jail max.
    One reason most crooks don't use guns in crimes is that the gun gets you a bigger sentence than the crime itself.
    And it works. Same with Japan - gun laws work. Sure, in both countries you have the 'right' to a gun, but like Australia, you want that 'right' then you need to exercise responsibility.
    That's why hand gun deaths are uncommon and semi-auto mass killings don't happen. We are glad we have govts that care for this issue.
    Did you watch that Australian comedy link?

    we don't care. I tire of foreigners whining about our rights-I don't live in your nanny state, nor do I want to. I like my freedoms

    Aussies are some of the most misogynistic men in the western world and world in general.

    Well come live where I do - Sth Australia mallee. Most people here own guns (rifles and shotguns)
    You need to be licensed, you need the background checks, and having hand guns needs more onerous requirements.
    But hand gun crime is rare here - we feel no need to arm ourselves against other people.

    why would I want to live in a country where the citizens are subjects. I shoot pistols competitively and am still world class in speed events-not bad for a 63 year old shooter. I shoot for CZ Custom using a 23 shot 9mm CTS Custom and the AO-1
