    So you are implying that people who own guns are uneducated? It sounds like that you are saying that education is some type of political indoctrination that you are proud of. We have many exceptionally intelligent highly educated individuals who advocate the right to bear arms. I would argue that they are more educated than people who claim that guns are bad.

      Just out of curiosity Christian, how do people in Australia defend themselves? Mace? Tazers? Ninjutsu? Are more classes in self defense or martial arts being taught?

          I had a 7 iron under our bed for a while but I never put it back after I last played golf. Never really felt the need to be armed and I'm pretty happy about that.

            This patriot is a great guy. I revel in the fact that the whipped little slaves in England and Australia get trumped and stamped with a boot in the face. I can hear the whips and the little Christain Graus's and Richard's screaming "I bow to you my great authority, I beg of you the great privilage of licking your boots. Let me give you my check for some more whippings."[^]

            I thought it was some kind of comedy sketch at first with that weird looking presenter:confused:

            If everything was not true, would it be not true that everything is not true? So by saying everything is not true, you are automatically denying that everything is not true. Im so confused... FreeDOS - An open source modern MS-DOS/PC-DOS replacement.

                When the guy coming in is not going to be carrying more than a knife, the block buster or a good piece of timber is all you would need. This is the difference between guns and a contact weapon - a guy with a gun shoots you and it ends. A guy with a knife has to swing at you, and you can better fight back. He's more likely to just run.

                    I've owned guns and been around them all my life. My family owns guns, all my friend own guns. None of us have ever killed anybody with them. And thankfully none of us have ever had to use them for self defense. We either hunt or shoot targets with them. So the over generalization that guns only serve to kill people is absurd to me. For me guns are tools. How you choose to use them determines if they are a danger or not.

                    None, my point was that the previous poster was stating that their sole purpose was killing. This simply isn't true. Shooting != Killing.

                    Well, that works for people who live in an area where they can hunt, and who choose to do so. It's still an instrument of death, or for practicing to kill things later.

                    Of course, in that, as you say, owning a gun does not mean you've killed anyone. It DOES mean when your 17 yo son decides that Marilyn Manson is right, he can get his hands on a gun to act on his convictions.

                        It is hilarious how you people have reversed the logic of owning a gun to point out that only the "bad guys" have guns and that owning a gun will cause you to get shot. Instead of you being able to shoot the guy and end it, you turn that on yourself and you get shot instead. Physical contact is the last thing you would ever want. It is incredibly asinine that you believe that the government (who has guns by the way) taking your right to own a gun, somehow makes you free and safe. I guess since you are a complete retard I suppose it is best for you to not think about guns.

                                    There are always psychopaths and conquerors, and the only way a free society can ever draw the line is if they have the means to fight back. Its all to common for the government to rule the people, and for the government to have all the guns and all the power. The people work their butts off and only get to keep half of what they earn or less, the rest goes to their masters. Once free people lay down any of their rights, they loose them all.

                                      Well, that works for people who live in an area where they can hunt, and who choose to do so. It's still an instrument of death, or for practicing to kill things later.

                                      Of course, in that, as you say, owning a gun does not mean you've killed anyone. It DOES mean when your 17 yo son decides that Marilyn Manson is right, he can get his hands on a gun to act on his convictions.

                                        Oh please just shut up.

                                        If everything was not true, would it be not true that everything is not true? So by saying everything is not true, you are automatically denying that everything is not true. Im so confused... FreeDOS - An open source modern MS-DOS/PC-DOS replacement.

                                          Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't make them a troll. A firearm is a weapon, not a tool. A tool has a useful purpose, a weapon's only purpose is to kill things. Just because you can kill someone before they hurt you does not make it a defensive measure. It simply means you have half a chance at offing them before they off you. That's attacking, not defending. It's called murder in self defense, not 'oops, he must have bounced off my bullets and killed himself when he tried to attack me'. Note the key differences there, one is you attacking them, the other would be if the gun was somehow magically a defense mechanism.
