He is right about Australia TheCrownless Send a noteboard - 21/12/2012 10:46:27 PM
i would like to see us go to an australian model where "self defense" is not a valid excuse to own a lethal weapon.


He said own, not use one you already own.

You can't get a gun licence on the grounds of self defence in Australia. If you have a licence for some other reason there are sometimes grounds for it to be used in self defence, however you can't own a gun on the grounds of self defence.

I'm Israel, he's Palestine, its more fun when you pick sides.

When guns are a big national issue, how do reporters & pundits not know facts about them? - 21/12/2012 05:33:14 PM 1531 Views
You don't hunt by walking into a classroom and shooting 20 deer - 21/12/2012 05:56:16 PM 984 Views
You're actually not right on that one - 21/12/2012 07:49:53 PM 911 Views
That wasn't the point I was making - 21/12/2012 09:49:40 PM 860 Views
You should probably clarify it then - 21/12/2012 10:47:26 PM 1014 Views
His post was perfectly clear. Yours seemed like a response to an entirely different post. - 21/12/2012 10:53:39 PM 1170 Views
Explain that remark, it is not obvious to me *NM* - 21/12/2012 11:00:10 PM 526 Views
I think - 21/12/2012 11:13:34 PM 845 Views
Thats' easy, there is simply no such thing as a 'hunting rifle' - 21/12/2012 11:17:41 PM 855 Views
I'd say the expert gunsmith - 21/12/2012 11:28:02 PM 895 Views
I thought I was being perfectly clear. - 21/12/2012 10:57:35 PM 863 Views

Oh I wasn't commenting on the standard of people here - 21/12/2012 11:29:36 PM 832 Views
you're largely correct, which is why we need stronger laws on ownership not guns per se - 21/12/2012 09:39:14 PM 823 Views
I can't think of a better reason than self defense - 21/12/2012 10:33:26 PM 880 Views
He is right about Australia - 21/12/2012 10:46:27 PM 862 Views
No kidding - 21/12/2012 10:59:28 PM 846 Views
If you knew all that - 21/12/2012 11:02:38 PM 872 Views
I think you are on the right track, but to the wrong destination; "lethal weapon" is redundant. - 21/12/2012 11:05:29 PM 854 Views
My read is that the 2nd Amendment not only allows, but mandates, cop-killer bullets. - 22/12/2012 12:45:04 AM 894 Views
Does the Second Amendment protect the rights of felons and the mentally incompetent to have guns? - 22/12/2012 02:35:16 AM 1059 Views
Yes the media is using terms incorrectly but the point still stands. - 22/12/2012 03:02:18 AM 783 Views

Laws against murder failed to prevent that, too; clearly they are ineffective and should be repealed - 22/12/2012 06:02:24 AM 976 Views
Such laws were never intended for prevention, they define actions that will be punished. *NM* - 23/12/2012 12:57:57 PM 557 Views
So do laws against getting a gun without screening, training and certification. - 23/12/2012 02:01:32 PM 796 Views
Then CHANGE the Constitution, don't ignore it. *NM* - 26/12/2012 03:12:11 PM 493 Views
I am not suggesting either changing or ignoring the Constitution. - 26/12/2012 04:01:02 PM 905 Views
Yes you are. - 26/12/2012 08:06:01 PM 705 Views
Learn logic, and stop needlessly trying to teach me grammar. - 26/12/2012 08:55:25 PM 872 Views
Lear to read, and I won't have to - 27/12/2012 04:28:59 PM 931 Views
You are wrong. - 22/12/2012 12:14:40 PM 882 Views
That explains much; I read somewhere Brits are averse to it. - 22/12/2012 01:17:15 PM 804 Views
We're also averse to being wrong. - 22/12/2012 02:53:49 PM 881 Views
So you say... - 22/12/2012 03:32:16 PM 803 Views

What bemuses me about this thing with Adam Lanza, is that his mother had 5 registered guns - 23/12/2012 07:10:26 AM 902 Views
She was asleep with him in the house. - 23/12/2012 02:24:47 PM 873 Views
LOOK, look, there is another one... - 26/12/2012 03:13:45 PM 815 Views
I find the absolutist ant/pro-gun positions equally dangerous and absurd. - 26/12/2012 04:20:37 PM 789 Views
So we should just *kinda* ignore the Constitution *this* time... But what about NEXT time... - 26/12/2012 08:08:12 PM 775 Views
No, we should enact gun regulation the Constitution explicitly empowers. - 26/12/2012 09:02:12 PM 790 Views
Which would be... NONE. *NM* - 27/12/2012 04:31:53 PM 497 Views

The instant it becomes relevant, I shall. - 28/12/2012 11:45:01 PM 973 Views
Your point being? - 27/12/2012 10:47:29 AM 771 Views
Facts are irrelevant when FUD is the order of the day. - 24/12/2012 04:34:18 PM 780 Views
It irritates me too. *NM* - 01/01/2013 01:55:05 PM 501 Views
