Guns are an inanimate object. Guns don't kill people, people do. One could cause the same outcome with 20 ltr fuel container and a box of matches in a crowded place. Some people are simply scared of everything...
A major catalyst for the often quoted numbers of gun deaths in the US is the governments failed reasoning in banning drugs. The war on drugs causes the issue. My view is if you cant keep drugs out of prison then why even try to keep them out of a country.
Mental health checks and background checks should be in place. I don't have a problem with guns. But people are idiots.I would say that a lot of bad behaviour is moderated due to the fact that ordinary people and not just criminals have guns in the US. Whilst we can have opinions on the issue of gun ownership it is essentially not our business, it is for the American citizen to decide. Some would say that the mechanisms within the consitution are restrictive and others would say they help preserve the freedoms in the US. We dont even have a bill of rights in Australia. We cant even protect our personhood or property with guns. I have been camped out in remote Australia and would enjoy the benifit of having a pistol on my belt.

I believe urban areas in the US are somewhat dangerous places due to the government creating a multi billion dollar unregulated industry in the banning of drugs. Banned substances = organised crime who become well funded. Its a $500 billion industry in the US. Criminals have guns so a use for a gun in such urban places is have one if your own.Give me one use of a gun in an urban area which does not involve killing or threatening to kill a human.
I can give you plenty of sensible and reasonably safe uses for fuel and matches.

People like this don't deserve to have guns and should have their licenses and guns taken away.

One would have to be pretty thin skinned as a pollie to not acknowledge a cliche when they see it.
Of course, but it's the loonies not in Parliament that are the problem and supposed exemplars like Christensen shouldn't be dog whistling them.

Always interesting to see someone like Tisme's sense of perspective when considering questions of "humour " about abusing green punks while pointing a gun at them.

as for the rest of your hyperbole = usual self serving fantasy stuff that only applies to Smurfland, Dinotopia and Melbourne Inner Suburbs.
