The founding fathers wanted us to have guns. It is a freedom we have. It is against the bill of rights to take guns away. Everyone should have a gun, imo.

America doesn't learn anything and Australia doesn't either, both of our nations just blunder from one event to another in their respective histories like the fat stupid trailer trash that both of our nations are primarily composed of.

usually it's one of two ways

same race = civilized discussion, might get a bit heated with shouting but all friends in the end

different races = hate crime

Australia and America are the same country with the same issues, same prison gangs, same street gangs, same rednecks and same demographics so we should definitely do the exact same thing as them to get the same result, yes.

i hope they ban guns just so i can see the aftermath of the government raiding 50% of the homes in the USA with a certain percentage of those people refusing to comply to the level of firing back at the police. sounds amazing to me

The problem is that the majority of us here in America have the mentality of children. If you tell us not to do something, we just want to do it even more. That's what happened with Prohibition from what I think I heard somewhere.
