    I see that's funny because I actually get the humor in the comic sketch neop I just don't agree with the politics. It is funny at times. I particularly laughed when he said, "some of you are taking this seriously and you're pissed.". It seems Aussie humor is too sophisticated for bowerbird.

    Having a gun doesn't give you protection it affords you the ability to use a gun to protect yourself. Not having a gun does not afford you that ability.

    So saying a gun doesn't make you safer or any variation of that argument it's a straw man nobody is saying that it does. All it does is a for you the ability to use that level of force defensively. Like it or not that is an absolute tactical advantage.

    More guns are stolen from a property than are used in self defense in a property. Hence there is a greater probability that the intruder will use the stolen victim's gun on a victim than the victim will use his gun on the intruder ie it makes you less safe

    Your metric has been shown unsound, due to your dishonest and deliberate failure to include the reaming defensive gun uses.

    the fact that he was fined for something that he said means that he has no right to say it. Meanings are is no Freedom of speech in the UK.

    how do you know? If someone uses their gun defensively it doesn't discharge it and they don't make a police report there's no way to know if that ever happened. And so what if more guns are stolen then used in defense of one's self?

    that doesn't follow sorry. interested in intruder has the gun doesn't diminished my having a gun at all. And if I have a gun I have the ability to use that level of force. If they weren't useful police in military would not carry them.

    Such sounds like an excellent reason to put an end to releasing convicted felons back into society at large where they pose the greatest risk of harm. If one cannot be trusted to legally own a firearm, then they cannot be trusted to be released back into society.

    If there was no police report then it also would not be listed as a property crime in the statistics.

    Most home owners don't carry their gun on them all the time when at home hence why more guns are stolen than used in self defense. Jim Jefferies described that situation very well.

    Well, yea, we don't have the same freedom of speech as you do. And I'm glad we don't. Freedom of speech has been abused in the US and is more used to stir up anger in their victim or to encourage anger/violence in others towards a victim

    defensive use of a gun doesn't always involve property crime.


    I doubt Jim Jefferies knows anything about it. Most defensive use of handguns is not occurring in homes so to point out these two very unrelated things is to miss the point.

    That has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever read on this forum. You want less rights because people stir up anger and their victims to encourage violence?

    Theft and vandalism doesn't really have anything to do with gun ownership.

    Let's see if you can spot the difference:
    You: "...stir up anger and their victims"
    Me: "... stir up anger in their victim"

    Which bit of "15M property crimes per year, only 36,000 cases did the owner manage to use or flash his gun" don't you understand?

    Why would someone flash or use their gun to stop vandalism?

    Why do you continue to willfully and knowingly misrepresent the truth?

    LOL Coming from someone who calls a post dumb while at the same time writing a nonsensical sentence.

    Oh, and you ran away from the question, How is "gas the Jews" said 23 times mocking Nazis?
