    Re: Do you own a Gun?? US citizens

    lol at "australia is a free country" what is america then andyniko?

    shit, i'll go down in a blazing glory to defend my right to bear arms any day. it is the most vital right we have in this cruel and violent world; it would be foolish to roll over with fainthearted inaction due to sheltered indifference, when the time calls. imo, life is a battlefield -- be prepared and stay on point -- or get spit out.

    my pops is a vet and our family is against all violence -- no doubt... but even we keep a small amount of firepower for last resort protection, and the right to defend our individual freedoms. guerrilla warfare ftw.

    Australia is a free country. I can walk down the street and not EVER be worried my head is going to get blown off. I can walk the streets late at night and not worry I'm going to die.
    o'rly? if i wanted to blow your head off, i'd get a gun

    you'll get beaten or stabbed to death bro

    if you had a gun you could defend yourself though...

    in 2006-07 six times as many people in NSW died from injuries inflicted by hand and feet, than by guns. And knives have long since overtaken guns as the main murder weapon Australia-wide, the data showed.


    whats next, are they going to take away your knives too?

    Totally disagree with that theory. Other countries have bans on guns and you don't see households getting shot up. If your statement were true the US would not have the appalling gun violence rate as they do. Permitting guns has made things worse, not better.

    I saw on TV the other day, a Texan family that went into a store to buy an AK47. Comeon really, an AK?

    I understand that criminals still get their hands on guns. But, there will certainly be a reduction. Some junkie that is robbing your home probably wouldn't have one if those laws were in (providing it is administered properly). Those are the guys you need to be worried about, not Danny Ocean.

    Better to have one and not need one then to want one and not have one.

    ^ Others would pull out the gun in that situation but I'd probably do the same thing you did. The gun is kept in case my life or my family's life is in danger, and here in the phoenix area, crazy shit will happen, especially with road rage.

    But I also use it as a stress reliever too when I go to the range.

    No guns here. Can't think of much of a reason to own one. If someone mugs me on the street, I'm going to give them my wallet and hope they don't kill me, not try to pull a fast one on them and shoot it out Old West style. This is not the movies.

    The craziest incident that I think about on occasion is the shootings that took place out of the trunk of that guy's car in Virginia Beach in 2003...people wouldn't leave their homes and were afraid to get gas, that was just wild.
