Lazs, why are you still in this thread trying to change the topic? Go rant somewhere else.

xasthur..  no need to say your sorry.. I did not find what you say harsh at all..  blunt is good.

I did find it to be ignorant and irrelevant tho...  you claim that gun control works.. it stops homicide right?  yet.. it did no such thing. 

You are right to say that our countries are different..  you are saying that people are stupid so they should not be trusted with guns.. that seems about right.. we are a nation of individual rights tho and the exact oppossite of what you think..  that people can be stupid but government is always evil.. to be used in small doses.

Sorry to be so harsh but to me..  the truly stupid people are those who don't trust each other but love their government.

I don't trust people with things that can kill me. That seems like a smart suspicion to have. I'll have to find some stats on it but I'm pretttyyy sure that people not having guns means that less people die.

I have no love for the government... particularly the current goverment, I voted 100% against them and did my best to warn people off Rudd. I don't see how my not trusting people suggests in any way that I must love my government.

Above sea level, why your jealous, most of Aus is arid desert below/at sea level with 98% of the population live on 2% of the land mass.  :lol

Of course it's this barren remote landscape that brought me here in the first place for rides like the Simpson desert,Gibb River Road,Cape York,Ningaloo Reef,Gunbarrel Highway and Canning Stock Route..

I might just need to quit work for a year or two to cover it all. :D

Smart way to keep the illegals out IMO. They will starve or die of thirst before reaching the next town. :eek: :rofl

hmm hard to know if your'e kidding, but...

i don't think the blacks in darfur would agree with you. they had their guns confiscated (with un sponsorship) leaving them pretty well defenceless, only to be slaughtered or driven out of their homelands by the sudanese government with their shiny new chinese made ak47s.

i think you attitude is insular and and counter to the basic premise of individual rights, but even aside from that, gun control is a global debate and a stance taken on it one way or the other at a national level can have global implications. the un has seen to that with it's push for a global ban on the illicit transnational trading of small arms, which might on the surface sound like a good thing but feel good trendy coffee shop intentions usually have little relevance in the real world. under their vision for a perfect gun controlled world only governments or organizations sponsored by governments would by international law be allowed to trade in and ultimately posses small arms. and as far as i'm aware the un categorises small arms right down to handguns. non state actors (that's the blacks in darfur and you and me sport) wold be watermelon out of luck and relying on the un to ride to our rescue if our governments got uppity, just like they have in bosnia, darfur..

The amount of items that can be used to kill a person is only limited by another's imagination.  The availability of guns, knives, cars and feathers will not really stop a person from killing.  It'll only stop them from shooting, stabbing, crushing and tickling to death.  Dead is dead.  I'm pretty sure a dead person really doesn't care if he was shot or what have you.

The truth is that you don't trust other people.  You don't trust other people because you actually don't trust yourself.  It's called projection.

An Australian was walking down a country road in New Zealand, when he happened to glance over the fence and see a farmer goin' at it with a sheep.

The Aussie is quite taken aback by this, so he climbs the fence and walks over to the farmer.

He taps him on the shoulder and says, "You know mate, back home, we shear those!"

The New Zealander looks frantically around and says, "I'm not bloody SHEARING this with no one!"
