Seems to me this is arse about. Has that thinking worked in reducing illicit drugs ?

Anyone killing someone is already committing an offence, we don't need to make it more of an offence to kill someone. All the guns were illegal, making them more illegal won't help, it acts as a lightning rod for the stupid to say "something is being done"

I used to sling a rifle over my shoulder as a teenager, jump on my motorbike and ride out of town to shoot at a friend's property. If I did that today, I would probably be labelled a terrorist and shot by police. I find we've gone beyond stupid into the realms of lunacy.

and here's the thing, no I don't own a gun, I have a license but the checks you apply are to onerous for me to bother. I live on property with feral pests and I just let them be. So decent people can't be bothered, lunatics won't be stopped... and that seems reasonable to some... and why I am indeed a stranger in a strange land.

A gun will kill you, regardless of who pulls the trigger.
Make it harder to buy or steal guns, then you are less likely to have problems with them.

Guns are only useful for shooting and killing, so no point ranting about cars and knives causing more deaths, which obviously have their other uses.

Simple really.....to intelligent people.
Those who like playing cops and robbers and enjoy the cowardly power of a gun, won't agree.

Using that logic, Susioncrack, we should take every firearm away from the police and the armed forces, and replace them with frying pans.

Hi Plantagenet.

You seem to be suggesting that my values, attitudes and behaviour conform to a racist stereotype that you have of white people in the south of the USA.

I never figured you for a racist, but welcome to the club.

BIT OFF TOPIC

In search of guns in America's culture - I reckon The RED NEX are a barely discovered delight. Especially at http://youtu.be/mOYZaiDZ7BM check out:

My kind of cultural immersion.
