  1. Bullshit. Machine guns existed before the Constitution was written. Either way, if a government has a weapon the people must have access to the same weapon. How else can we protect ourselves against a tyrannical government? You do know that tyrannical governments exist, don't you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puckle_gun

  2. That's actually not true but our government has found a way to cash in on getting people to believe that. Traveling is a RIGHT regardless of how you choose to do it.

  3. What about other homicides? What about knife attacks? What about acid attacks? You attempt to equilibrate the lives of good people with those of bad people. According to FBI statistics a firearm is 80 times more likely to be used to thwart a violent crime than to be used to commit one. Those numbers you quote about Europe was before all the heathen hordes overran the borders. The US has had this problem for a much longer time. Stupid, violent people are stupid and violent no matter how much of other people's money you piss away on them trying to civilize them. They need their own countries where everybody thinks and acts alike. Until that happens, civilized people have to defend themselves against beasts. Taking that away is suicide for Western Civilization.

  4. Freedom isn't risk free. Who wants to be in a "safe" prison? Nobody worth a shit, that's who.

  5. You are definitely wrong. What would happen is more INNOCENT people would die. Innocent, good people don't kill the wrong person with a gun. They kill the right ones. You are basically seeking to equilibrate the lives of good and bad people. The UK has strict gun control...yet people are killed every day with KNIVES and have acid dumped on them. Guns allow good people to protect themselves against bad people. Not all gun deaths are bad. Bad people doing bad things deserve to be shot. People who commit suicide with guns...are crazy and will always find a way to kill themselves or otherwise self-destruct. Each individual is responsible for his own safety and whether he wants to live or not. All gun control creates is a totalitarian government and innocent people with no ability to defend themselves against run-of-the-mill criminals and tyrannical governments. After South Africa's "feel good" end of apartheid everybody is less safe largely because idiot white people there played the "feel good" game and surrendered their firearms. How is that working out for them? White farmer homicide rate is around 200 killed per 100,000. The mean, nasty ol' USA only has a 4.8 homicide per 100,000 rate. Guns are good.

  6. You're a fool. The UK has a much higher violent crime rate than the USA...and they have gun control. Chicago has the most Draconian gun laws in the USA and it is more dangerous than Syria or Iraq.

  7. You can't "learn" to defend yourself against much larger, stronger or multiple attackers. We "learned" to design a tool that allows an innocent to protect him or herself from criminal attackers. If the attackers have a gun too...then they're equal. Guns are called "equalizers" for a reason. The lives of criminals and their innocent potential victims are not worth the same.

  8. Right...but your violent crime rate is higher than the US. Home invasions in Australia are EASY if a criminal is willing. In the US they might get shot. You should read, "More guns, less crime." You probably aren't from Australia or you would know how dangerous it is because nobody can have a firearm to protect themselves.
