    Nah. Australia claims to be the most multi-cultural Nation on the Planet. Yes, a huge Island, just about as big as the USA. Secluded.....okay. Whatever. I can hardly whinge about what you say about us, given my comments on this issue. No apology from me about that.

    Our mass slaughter rate/trend was like yours up to Pt Arthur. Yes....Government took the guns. Since then, the rate of mass slaugher rate in the USA remained on trend. Ours stopped. Just co-incidence, yes?

    That's funny. the United States has more illegal aliens in it then there are people in your country.

    so is Antarctica. They have zero laws banning any guns, and they have the lowest murder rate I think it's zero. So land mass is everything. Lol
    Yeah it's an island contentment with roughly the same land mass as the United States and 13% the population of the United States.
    most people who don't know anything and run their mouths rarely apologize for their ignorance so I wasn't expecting any.

    yes, it is. Your loss of liberty coincided with an already declining murder rate.

    England has 10 times the population density of the US and "we do not get slaughtered en masse at 'garlic festivals.'" either and apparently we are flooded with immigrants

    So is it your position that the only reason people in the UK aren't in murdering each other it's because they're too stupid to get guns?

    He's here in the United States were smarter than you people figure out how to get things illegally.

    I do not consider that a normal handgun, not would any normal person

    why would you want people to be able to walk around events with a gun like that?

    I will explain further since you need remedial lessons.

    Making laws against owning guns will only guarantee that outlaws have guns.

    And in a country where there's more guns then there are people, it's going to be kind of hard to take them all.

    And how does that relate to this sentence of yours?
    "He's here in the United States were smarter than you people figure out how to get things illegally."

    My apologies, let me correct that sentence since you're having so much trouble.

    Instead of "He's here in the United States were smarter than you people figure out how to get things illegally."

    I meant

    Here in the United States we're smarter than you people figure out how to get things illegally.

    Seems that child could have figured out the word he's in the beginning was an error, and there should have been an apostrophe. But clean stupid is a way to stall well do you come up with some semblance of an argument.

    Even after a correction, your use of the English language is terrible and your sentence still does not make sense! LOL at you using the word "smarter" in that sentence and the word "stupid" in a previous post!

    And then you write "But clean stupid is a way to stall well do you come up with some semblance of an argument."! And you've used the word "stupid" again !

    I think this is cover for lack of argument.

    It's not uncommon to see people pretend they can't read when they are cornered

    If you didn't understand the revised sentence it is impossible for me to communicate with you.

    So there is no point in trying.

    Did you understand this post or are you temporarily illiterate with it too?

    Stopped huh? How about total murder rate instead of only looking at very rare events? The ban was in 96 right? Murders actually went up and in 2013-14, firearms were still used in 13% of murders.
    http://www.crimestats.aic.gov.au/NHMP/1_trends/ If the gun ban was as effective as you claim, there should have been a steep drop off after the ban, instead it is a slightly downward trend and levels off in 2006.

    Strange that other nations have removed most firearms from the public an the English police that are for the most part unarmed are not being murder in mass nor are innocent men and women being gun down by the police by error.

    Your pleasure at having guns in your hand seem far more important to you then the safety of men women and children.

    Yes, I know as I would regret not having my shot gun or my revolvers and I would love to have a BAR for that matter but none of those desires is more important to me then at least slowing down the mass murders of innocents.

    Not strange just untreated.

    It isn't about pleasure.

    If you having a revolver equals mass murder than you are a would be mass murderer. I am not. I shouldn't be punished for your misdeeds.

    I’m not a member, I’m not defending them. They are a private organization and can do as they wish.

    Maybe you don’t grasp that the constitution is about limiting govt, not private citizens or groups

    But you asked about it, and when informed it would not be relevant to a use of force continuum in this case argued the point.
    Don't be coy now.

    They indeed must comply with the constitution which includes a literal duty to disobey unlawful orders and remove the offending soldier from command and duty. In most conceptions, that situation is likely to turn violent.
    You keep saying "we". Its not "we". You are not a US Citizen. You're not even here on a tourist's visa. The 2nd isn't going anywhere, nor does the 2nd grant a right at all.

    You said you wanted natural law theory out of the Constitution. That's going to require you replace the whole thing as its got it throughout.

    Do you know what the Ship of Theseus is? If you don't you can use google or ask nicely.

    Same here. No thought ever that some Sammi de Sam is going to jeopardize my life. More chance of a red back spider bite.

    Talked to my Mom last night 10 miles away from Gilroy, and while all these outraged posters here rampage on, the residents in the immediate area are like "Shlt like this happen when your town is 60% Mexicans".. By Friday the locals wont even give it another thought other then the victims.. Keep the gates open Cali pretty soon you'll be no better then the Hispanic folks living in Juarez and desperately trying to get out :)

    Only you're running out of anywhere to run LMFAO.

    Gilroy Crime rates

    Whites 29.3%
    Hispanic 60.6%

    Is your propensity for deception completely ungoverned?
    While you're in the "T" you may as well look up "Thesaurus". With any luck, there will be a direct link to one. Once there you can connect the dots from the entry for "Absurd conclusion" to your statement in the first paragraph above.

    Good luck!

    So you don't want natural law theory removed from the Constitution? Earlier you had such a problem with it I thought we might have to get your smelling salts out
