"you must"

Do you think everyone does it? no. The NRA has guidelines too but not everyone follows them.
Well, those that dont should be singled out, thats why i took offence at you saying noone shoots responsibly.

Go save some whales. Hippy.

Guns are only dangerous when your looking down the barrel of a loaded weapon. Or if you don't know what end the bullet comes out of, get your facts straight before you start talking shit.

HMMMM
lets see. I dont like whales so no. And just because i don't think that guns should be legal that makes me a hippy?

My facts? OK have you seen the statistics that show your are more likely to be shot by someone you know? And be shot accidentaly.

Well being shot by someone you know, is obvious, most murders are committed by some on who knows the victim, cause it is rare that someone just goes and kills a random.

1. No, That is not the case. Legally You have to possess a gun safe and have a background check done before you can purchase a Level A firearm. You are required by Law to keep weapons and Ammunition seperate, 50% of the ACTIVE Firearms in Australia are in Shooting Ranges and Gun Clubs. Not in the Cupboard.

2. Yes, It does. Cause hippies complain about everything without even knowing the current rules and regulations in play.

what i'm saying is that most people get a gun for self protection then they kill someone by accident.

Stan. You don't want to be steriotyped as a redneck hillbilly for owning a gun dont do it to people that dont believe in gun ownership.

As i have already said, u cannot get a gun in Australia with the reason of "protection", unless of course u lie, and u will be caught out and charged for numerous crimes

I am not protecting the SSAA, No that Is not the case. It was true in the 1980s in LA where there was some psycho running around slaughtering Old Women and carving 'demonic' symbols into their flesh. But today people don't do it because they need it for self defense, most people buy a gun for recreational uses. I don't even have a gun, I have no intension of having a gun. I shoot at my School for sport, that is all.

There have been major toughing up of the gun laws since then and also Tasmania had the weakest gun laws in the nation

His or her capacity to kill would be greatly reduced compared to pre Bryant levels.

Why do people talk about America like its the worst violent crime country in the world?

Jamaica has a much higher rate of gun ownership and gun crime (in fact I think it has the highest documented in the world) but you dont see people pointing at them like they are the heart of all evil in the world.
