I'm just SO happy to see that firearm ban in Australia is stopping crime so well. When I first heard about the ban, I was worried that only criminals would end up having guns, and honest citizens would not be able to defend themselves, but I guess it's obvious I was completely wrong, so.....that's just great. We should do that whole ban thing here, too. I mean, why not? Because remember, it's working! :question:

I love articles like these. I wish there was a database with all the pro-gun arguments I'd ever need lol.

If they would only ban motorcycles there would be no "bikie" gang crimes. Doh!, they banned the wrong inanimate object!

That's a really good idea. Maybe even something like a quick reference guide so you can have it readily available when you have to talk guns with anti-gun people. I think I might try to do that. Maybe someone who is more computer savvy than me can figure out the database thing that everyone on here could access, but I will stick with Microsoft Office for right now. I think it would be a help to all ofthe memberson here, but also would help to educate the visitors as well

Yeah, the main thing you'd need is the "point" from each story/event/statistic and the location, date, etc. I suppose you could also throw in court decisions if you really wanna go all out. :)

Well, it might be easier to ban clubs as a requirement to form a gang. After all it is Australia, no pesky first amendment to get in the way, and obviously no second either. Along with that there is no fourth to protect you from having your gun taken, there is no 6th so due process is not an issue, there is no 5th so getting a confession is no problem. Hell in the absence of the third amendment, they could just move in and really keep a close eye on you. There is no 7th so any "kangaroo" court judge could hear the cases and with no 8th you could be put in a hole for life.

Regards

Are you saying there is a chain reaction when government starts taking away rights? No way?!.... I don't think any government would do that. I trust them! The would never try to take all my freedoms away. They aren't power hungry! (Sarcasm!:lol:) Seriously though, they are just trying to keep us distracted so they can do all they're dirty work in the cover of American laziness. They know that the majority will not hold them accountable for anything. Everybody just wants to party and have fun; like these guys::celebrate:monkey
