Guns

[MrBurns]

You need to get out more.

I get out plenty thanks, the street culture now is much worse than it ever was, if they had guns they would use them no problem about that.

They are already using them in Western Sydney, nearly a shooting everyday. Mostly gangs and over drugs.

l think these knucklehead drug dealers (the ones causing all the trouble in Western Sydney), if caught with an illegal gun/firearm, it should be mandatory sentencing.

DALLAS (Reuters) - A 76-year-old Texas man was charged with murder for shooting his wife and two dogs after one of the animals pooped in the house.
Police arrested Michael Stephen Stolz after a five-hour standoff at the man's home in the Dallas suburb of Lewisville late Tuesday. He was charged with murder in the shooting death of his wife, Bernice Stolz, and remained in the Denton County Jail on Wednesday on a $250,000 bond.
Stolz told officers he shot his 49-year-old wife and the couple's two dogs after the German Shepherd mix defecated on the floor on Saturday, said Lewisville Police Capt. Kevin Deaver. He told officers that he shot the dog, then their other dog, a Rottweiler, then his wife, who was screaming because of the shootings of the dogs, Deaver said

This is a horrible story, but if the bloke hadn't had a gun he'd have found some other method of doing away with the dogs and his wife. This was about a very unbalanced individual. You could even say it was better that the three were killed quickly because he'd have despatched them anyway and probably by some more drawn out and ghastly means.

So mentally ill and socially maladjusted people will always create mayhem. Perhaps the easy availability of guns in the US make it easier for them.
I'm glad we don't have the same free availability here.

Fair enough lets tell the Yanks to get lost, oh by the way North Korea is aiming their next missile in our direction, what's that ? Pleeeeease come and help us Uncle Sam ?

Yep, NK has nothing better to do but fire missiles at little old Australia on the other half of the globe.

Seriously, you make me lose faith in people when you exaggerate and over-sensationalise things even more than media does.

I'm currently paying a flood levy.

I don't want to pay another gun levy.

Oh sorry no problem, hang on , the other half of the globe would be very interesting to North Korea or anyone for that matter ref: WW11

Seriously, you make me lose faith in people when you trivialise things that are obviously of concern to Australia, but I guess you're just a lay back sort of guy

Possibly, but having a gun made it a lot easier. It's more simple to pull a trigger than stab a dog or person to death if you could get attacked in return.

Precisely and obvious to everyone except the gun lobby.

Exactly. NK is not stupid. When the world ignores NK like a stroppy attention seeking child they'll make some outlandish claim. The chance of them wasting a missile on Australia is so remote it's not even worth thinking about. NK does what China tells it to do, because China ultimately controls NK. From the NK perspective, America and Japan are the source of all NK's woes.

Yeah what would they want with a very large island, plenty of resources and room to populate and a dumber than dumb political syatem that allows idiots to run it

You forgot to include SK there.

You just can't be serious.

Also forgot to say that NK itself is extremely resource rich, they just can't do anything about it. Let alone invade a country on the other side of the world.

Yeah, NK can barely feed itself but they are going to project their "power" with a few Taepodongs, and no blue water navy 10,000 km's South. Good luck with that.

 

[McLovin]

According to NK, SK is just the brainwashed brother. Japan and America are the bogeymen.

Idiots with big sticks are dangerous, the USA might be the bogey man but we're an ally, without them we'd be history.

That's precisely the sort of paranoia why people in USA have guns. A country of paranoid people.

Stick your head back in the sand and when we do need help one day call for the US from your hiding place. Not paranoia just a bit of reality try it some time.

We are in the middle of nowhere.

Switzerland has been in the middle of Europe, in the middle of countless wars and world wars. Remind me, how many times in the last 200 years has it ever been invaded?
