    Arms didn't imply murder.

    Insanity is much to hard for me. Think about what you're going to say before you blurt out insane gibberish.

    No guns? Thats a pretty tall order. Even in Australia, with all their totalitarianism they can't keep the GUN from those that would spit on the rules of law.. Only the repressed and subservient bow to the order while giving both the Gubmint and the Criminal gun owners advantage..

    The point can not be stressed enough, and good old Mother Australia is no exception to the truth! Criminals don't abide by gun laws..

    As many as 600,000 illegal guns in Australia

    You get rid of yours. Mine are going nowhere. Also, guns stopped this idiot, or did you forget that?

    While Republicans choose to continue making it easier and easier to massacre people. You're like someone who opens the doors and windows in a blizzard and then wonders why they have high heating bills.

    Except that didn't work with alcohol or drugs, so why do you think it would work with guns?

    Columbine changed the nation by showing the outcasts that they could get revenge and go out in a blaze of glory. All it would take is a student plowing his car into a bunch of kids, or making a homemade bomb, or resorting to acid attacks, and presto, you have a new trend. This problem is a sickness within American culture, and yet more ineffectual gun laws is not going to solve it.

    You mean total confiscation of existing guns? I hope you can figure that out on your own.

    we don’t legislate morality, how is that unclear? Everyone does not have guns, how is that unclear? We don’t have unlimited gun rights, can you move those goalposts any further?

    the criminals won’t give theirs up, your plan is childish at best. Why won’t you just take the guns from those who aren’t legal owners?

    why?

    They can secure schools to avoid entry by armed individuals.

    So if it's illegal to own and someone kills you with it you're less dead?

    So how is killing 5-year-olds with it if you're not legally in possession of it different?
    Well some people if you abortion is murder but owning a gun isn't not in any way shape or form that you can even imagine let alone articulate.
    no you're just demonizing people that don't agree with you.

    I've never killed anybody with any of my guns why shouldn't I be allowed to have them? Because incompetent morons in the enforcement agencies suck at their job? That's more reason for me to take my own protection into my own hands.


    The instrument that allowed they're death is incompetence. Nobody is pro incompetence except the defund the police contingent and that is left wing.
    This is another thing I disagree with you on it's not outdated it's more pertinent now than it ever has been because there's authoritarians trying to take our rights away...

    You can attack my character and accuse me of killing children or whatever other BS hysterics you want I'm not going to agree with that nonsense.

    It's hardly even intelligent

    That's about as feasible as getting rid of drugs and cars.

    "No drugs? No overdoses. Easy!"

    "No cars? No car accidents. Easy!"

    Another out of wedlock birth to another promiscuous woman and man, raised in a Fatherless home, fostered and subsidized by left wing welfare, and turned loose on society. It is not the tool that wields the man, nor the tail that wags the dog. Blame yourself for the monsters you create and their unfitness for freedom. But to blame freedom is an absurdity. You may as well draw up plans for a tidy little cell for everyone. Then again I could be wrong, and guns rather than people are becoming evil. That superstitious concept though, would require a dismissing of reason which is contrary to basic intellect and common sense. You folks need to repent of your evil, or vacate this free land and leave it to those who are fit.

    They won't. There are some of the strictest laws against murder. They don't work in this case.

    So you won't budge to fix the problem until you get your way! Sounds like you are the one inviting massacre after massacre. You are intentionally weaponizing our children and holding them hostage to get want you want!

    Getting rid of guns doesn't solve the problem. We need to work on the source of the problem and that's mentally ill young people. Guns are only a tool they often use. If you take away everyone's guns, these people will use some other way of killing or they find a way to get illegal guns.

    How many kids do you want to die because YOU have a pool? Oh, you don’t have a pool? Well loads of other people do. Do you know how many die every year drowning in pools and beaches? How many kids lives are worth our freedom to swim?

    Nearly 4000 kids die of drowning every year. More than 8000 are non fatal but many lead to long term disabilities. How many die from mass shootings? Not even close!!!! Want to take it further? 32000 people die in car crashes every year. How many people you want to kill in order to have the freedom to drive? Or should we all be limited to trains and buses? Or maybe we all just lock ourselves in our homes and we’ll be safe. Really safe. Just plug ourselves into the Matrix and never have to physically deal with other humans. So many lives can be saved that way!!! How much freedom are YOU willing to give up to save lives???

    Or is it only certain lives you want to save?

    How so?

    Which party is taking it easier on criminals in your vast umm expertise on the matter?
    Which laws have Republicans passed or sought to pass that lowered the penalities for murder?

    Are you saying there is no way to implement stronger background checks without stripping gun rights from “thousands or millions” of ordinary citizens?

    Well getting rid of the guns would solve the shooting problem it's just we're not talking about that we're talking about making laws to make it harder for people to own them that won't do anything to effect shootings
