    Anything they want to

    Thing is I do not feel defenceless if I do not have a gun.

    So you are ok with a 100lb woman having a gun though?

    No

    Because there are a LOT of 10plb women who can kick the arses of bigger men.

    Now some truth rather than NRA myth

    you can't be more diverse than us you don't have any people there.

    it doesn't, it has to do with the diversity of our country. We have the equivalent of your country in our country from another country.

    we also have this thing called borders that we share with other countries I know this is probably a vastly difficult concept for you to understand.

    But when you share a border with the country that has greater economic problems than your country does and you create contraband items you also create demand for organized crime. That organized crime imports contraband.

    This isn't something you grasped because the starfish aren't bringing guns into your country.

    So it's kind of hilarious how you tell me how sophisticated your little village in the middle of the ocean is and you say something like, "duh what does illegal immigration have to do with anything?"

    The naivete that you have presented here is dumbfounding.

    Yes but the population of illegal immigrants in our country out numbers the entirety of the population in your country. And you have roughly the same land mass.

    If the US was a full glass of water Australia would be 13% full.

    You do not know what you are talking about.

    You can insist that you do but you can't comprehend this

    Many more guns are smuggled out of the US than in! LOL at that second sentence

    Here is a damning statistic: In 2014, roughly 70 percent of all traceable illegal weapons recovered in Mexico were tracked back to licensed U.S. vendors. Approximately four of 10 of these weapons originated in Texas.

    this is a moronic observation. Of course guns are not smuggled into the country in any significant numbers because they're not contraband. Drugs however are because they are contraband.

    The money is in taking things from a place where you can get them to a place where there is demand for them but they are contraband.

    So if we made guns contraband they would start flowing back the other way.



    So what was the point you were trying to make with this? That things that are contraband flow from a country where they're not to a country where they are?

    I must give you a round of applause because that's the exact f****** point I was making.

    If you make guns contraband there is a huge incentive to produce more of them outside of our country. And a huge incentive to transport 10 into our country.

    If you and your little kingdom can figure out how do you stop that from happening we should implement that step first.

    If you think we here in the United States should ban guns because "it worked for you" I have my doubts.

    You did not argue anything!

    You wrote:
    I wrote this which completely destroyed your post above saying that Australia doesn't have mass slaughters because they are unpopulated and have only one culture:
    To which you replied with nonsense not related to the comparison that you introduced which quickly backfired on you

    We have a show here called feminist cops.



    Recently a female cop left her gun in the bathroom, publicly apologized for it, and then we learned when trying to locate it she threw innocents in jail.

    If you destroyed some completely random guy on the internet and it makes your pee-pee hard go have a wank. and delight in your destruction of some random guy on the internet.

    If you're going to try and convince me that you destroyed me please do I enjoy a good laugh.

    You write nonsense. You are the one who has been saying that guns are smuggled into the US and now you are trying to run away from your statements by bringing drugs into the conversation!

    no you just flunk at understanding.

    No I haven't. That's stupid why would you snuggle something into the country that is legal to own.

    If you are having difficulty understanding you can ask me to explain it, I'm normally very polite when people aren't pathetically attempting to play gotcha games with me.
    No I'm trying to explain my statements to a a person who really wants to be right at all costs.

    If you give up the chess match and focus on what I'm saying, stop trying to figure out your next move you might learn something.

    You have been blaming other countries for your gun problems yet it is your country that is providing the guns!

    Your solution is to continue adding to the number of guns out there, ours is to reduce the number of guns out there. We do not experience gun massacres and due to our gun laws we are not increasing the gun crime in neighbouring countries because guns are not being smuggled out of our countries into countries that are trying to reduce their number of guns. You have also blamed culture. The UK has wide culture variations and apparently is over run with foreigners

    no I haven't blamed any country for gun problems.

    wait a minute you advocated removing guns I thought you advocated banning guns which would cause the amount of illegally owned guns to skyrocket.

    so the only reason someone massacres people is because they can legally buy a gun?

    That's shity logic.

    but they don't have US culture.

    So apples to school buses.

    You are entitled to an opinion. You dont get to say things like when we get the 2a repealed because you are a foreigner and not part of we or us but rather them and they

    Thank you for further illustrating your inability to demonstrate the necessary relationship between the changes in Australian gun laws after the Pt Arthur shooting and the subsequent decline in mass shootings; rather than "proof", you offer only post hoc fallacy.
    I do not expect this will change.

    Funny, then, how you have been unable to demonstrate the necessary relationship between the changes in your gun laws and the drop in mass shootings that followed.
    Don't feel bad - you aren't alone.
