Population of Australia is 26,059,789 as of Thursday, May 26, 2022
329.5 million - 26 million = 303.5 million more people not as easy to confiscate guns as it would be in Australia or Canada

FU- I DEMAND an apology you nut job. I most certainly DO care about those kids who just got killed, quite a bit actually... Ditto those folks in Buffalo. Go back to your delusional rabbit hole. Before you get me pissed off with your bullshit.
It's YOU and your pals at the NRA who value your guns more than kids lives. So hells bells, let's turn schools into virtual prison camps to protect them from the nuts who have easy access to weapons designed to kill 10-20 people at once.
My one small suggestion Steve? Yeah, there's too many out there already, but ban the production and sale of magazines capable of holding more than eight rounds. Baby steps.
Yes Cal that was a f*****-up thing to say. Beyond that Larry the NRA went bankrupt last year they're hardly your problem. If you want to gripe about lobbyists maybe you should turn your attention toward the pharmaceutical Lobby which is one of the largest if not the largest in the world. And then think about the forced vaccinations and who that might possibly benefit.
By the way, baby steps toward what?

Toward maybe making it a bit tougher to squeeze off anywhere from 20 rounds and up in less than 30 seconds? I'm seeing a lot of cherry picking statistics here Steve. Sure, homicides by paramilitary weapons are only a small percentage of total cases, but they're an inordinate percentage of the weapons used in mass casualties.
& dammit, I worked in an inner city hospital for 25 years, and was the Blood Bank tech who got called to the ER for every trauma. After midnight every Friday and Saturday, almost like clockwork. Guys hauled in after being shot getting into a drunk argument at a bar... Of course settle it with a gun.If you want my honest 0.02 what I'd like to see done (never happen) is put AR-15s and the like in the category that's now reserved for full automatic weapons. You'd need a permit, and a thorough background check. Been doing a lot of thinking about the 2nd amendment lately too. The gun lobby (mistakenly) thinks the Constitution and Bill of Rights were handed down by God and engraved in stone. Obviously not the case. We had Prohibition, and then revocation of Prohibition. If you somehow could resurrect Madison, Jefferson, Franklin and ask them to describe "Arms" you wouldn't get anything close to what the gun lobby thinks is their "right" to keep and own today.
In that light, time to review what arms means? I humbly think so.
Since you brought up the other big lobby- the Pharmaceutical industry... You're damn right I'm pissed off about the total inaction there. What happened to buying your drugs from Canada? Can't get your drugs from other countries either, and why the hell is that? It's total bullshit Steve. My generic Prilosec is made by Teva- in Israel. Ditto North Star there too. India is another major supplier of drugs marketed in the United States.

and not one word about children dying in car crashes, and drug overdoses. not one word about children being sex trafficked.
just hideous violent crime by severely trouble/screwed up violent murderes.
got it.

So just to clarify: you're walking back the 100 round rifles reducing the maximum capacity to what, 10, 20? It's actually 30 now. Also are semi automatics now out why? As in 1911 Style 9 mm handguns that most people are on? It makes absolutely no difference to me if a weapon has a wooden or aluminum stock for a pistol grip. Background checks are fine but the huge majority of people have never been documented as crazy.
Plus if the dirt ball is coming in to give blood for money I would imagine somewhere within his circle of acquaintances will pay him more for an illegal weapon then the city is going to give. And the program sightseeing included tennis shoes and basketball tickets. Which is a little bit racist in and of itself. Hahaha
And I'm not talking about prescription drug prices I'm talking about the monsters windfall they've had Premier required vaccinations.

Demand? why do you "care" about kids who die by gunfire by maniacs, but you have never said ONE WORD about car accidents? Cars are the number one killer of children. So shove that up YOUR rabbithole. Why not admit you haven't said much at all about all the fentanyl deaths? drug overdoses???
Logical conclusion = railing about gun crime only means your "in your face" political bigotry.
and, 8 rounds? when the standard is generally ten? just another lib talking point. You can go kiss your hero Beto's rump.
Yep, it's that time of night again.

The problem with that argument is that a car is not manufactured for the purpose of killing. Children killed in car accidents usually are a consequence of negligence by the driver.
A gun is designed for one purpose. The gun used to kill those kids performed as it was designed.

You so love to parrot liberal talking points dont you.
No, the NRA doesn't value guns more than kids, and I'm sure Cal doesn't either so you owe him an apology.
I suppose you also believe white supremacy is the greatest threat to this nation every good liberal does, yes?

basically - it is designed to be a tool. Just like any other tool - it has a function(s). A knife can be a defense against assault - I can post how many knives have been found on students in schools. It's staggering.
A screwdriver can kill, A gun will injure/kill, sure. But it is both - a tool that kills game, and defends the otherwise defenseless from being killed.
all tools can be misused in violence. The nazis had locked all women in the town, in a church. They murdered the men.
and set fire to the church. There were a few witnesses.
Fire can save lives, and kill/murder lives. Mentally ill violent people will use any weapon at hand to act out. Social media seems to drive loners to want to be famous. A good bit like "baby face" george nelson in the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou".
they want to be famous. violence is a way chosen by very, very sick people.
Sick politics is everywhere. Emotionalism and politics solve nothing. But it keeps honest, genuine solutions from being discussed.
My opinion - these gun shootings keep happening because the left wants to make anti-2nd Amendment their banner. It isn't funny anymore.
Note to whooreta - I left the NRA out of disgust. An AR-15 is a SEMI AUTO rifle JUST like a SEMI-AUTO .22. So shove it.
quote: After the gun ban, violent crime rates were up: Yes, as with the gun-happy United States, the murder rate is down in Australia. It's dropped 31 percent from a rate of 1.6 per 100,000 people in 1994 to 1.1 per 100,000 in 2012.But it's the only serious crime that saw a consistent decline post-ban.

Target shooting, plunking, doesn't kill. Kill game - ever watch swamp people? They use them to survive. If times ever hit to a devastating degree - farmers, hunters, swamp people can survive. With guns.
A gun is an offensive AND defensive tool.
An AR-15 is not an assault weapon anymore than a semi auto .22 would be. There are actually AR-15 .22s. Don't go on some military assault with either one.
This whole anti-2nd Amendment is simply a political attack on conservatives/gun owners. All those people considered to be political opponents by the left.
So, Whooreta seems to NOT favor knife control. woodpecker seems to NOT favor knife control
Guess what - a knife is made to cut - it is a tool that kills.
Needless to say, a knife or cutting instrument is over 2.5 times more likely to be used in a murder in the United States than a rifle. Even "personal weapons", meaning someone's hands, feet and so on, were responsible for more deaths than rifles within the United States in 2020 - with the report showing 415 people were killed by ...Poison was used in five murders, explosives in four, and fire was used in 72 murders. Of the 14,123 total murders, 900 were committed with unspecified and other types of weapons. The FBI's statistics. The AR-15 has been named by several politicians among the types of "assault weapons" the United States should consider banning. -

You'd need a permit, and a thorough background check. Been doing a lot of thinking about the 2nd amendment lately too. The gun lobby (mistakenly) thinks the Constitution and Bill of Rights were handed down by God and engraved in stone. Obviously not the case. We had Prohibition, and then revocation of Prohibition. If you somehow could resurrect Madison, Jefferson, Franklin and ask them to describe "Arms" you wouldn't get anything close to what the gun lobby thinks is their "right" to keep and own today.

Note to Hopeless Whooreta:
prohibition took away a "right", therefore it could be given back.
A RIGHT cannot be taken away. It is INALIENABLE. It can NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY.
So, picking on the AR-15 is stupid. Just another cowardly, dishonest "gotcha maybe" by leftwing haters.
