    Oh you thought by 'keep him secret' i meant suppress him? Lol, how typical...

    No, I just wouldn't be using that degenerate drugee as an argument or bringing him up at all in conversation. I would refuse to associate myself with him in any way. I wouldn't be bragging that we share an ideology or even a nationality.

    Im quite glad he's from somewhere else :)

    Do you have the same trouble with drugs?

    So, more guns=more homicide? How much of that figure is justifiable homicide?

    Now, if all that is true, Australia's homicide rate should be rising.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-44105129

    and yet the rate is declining.
    https://theconversation.com/three-charts-on-australias-declining-homicide-rates-79654

    and if you observe the chart, the rate has been in a more or less steady decline and previous charts that I saw that go back further did not show a huge drop with the 96 gun ban. One chart will also show that except for a couple years, guns were used the least amount for homicides.

    You always did. Banning guns didn't reduce it.

    The reason your crime is low is because your population is low, you're on an island, your number of immigrants from high crime countries is low, and you're not sharing a border with the most violent countries on earth.

    Why do you hate the poor?
    Did you know a disproportionate share of the poor are single mothers, ethnic minorities, and LGBTQ people?

    You're lucky we're not lefties or we'd be screeching about how racist, sexist and homophobic that makes you.

    And which nations are you taking them from? Are they as the other posted cited some of the most dangerous nations on the planet? NO?!!!!!! Why we're all shocked that you'd compare apples to broccoli! SHOCKED!
    Also: YOURE AN ISLAND, what's your illegal immigration look like?

    So you admit that that immigration pattern cited has had a profound effect on the crime rate here and goes quite a long way to explain the discrepancy you cite?

    No ****?

    This moron thought Obama was everyone's boss.
    "The President of the United States is - you know - our boss, but he's also you know, the President and the First Lady are like the mom and the dad of the country and when your dad says something you listen - if you don't it kind of bites you in the ass later on," Rock said.

    Obama never hired me so how could he be everyone's boss?
    You and the OP and most lefties are always quoting comedians.
    You get your news and political opinions from Stephen Colbert and Comedy Central.

    Really good because we detain them and put them on islands. I'm not confusing gun control with illegal immigrants....thats your arguement. But please continue.

    There is no correlation between firearm ownership and crime, either at the state, city or even at the level of a country.

    US homicide rate is now equal to what it was in the 40's. In the 40's you could order a gun out of a mail order catalog.

    To recap: 1) most of the immigrants you get are not from 3rd world **** holes 2) you're on an island so dealing with border issues is far easier so you don't have as much a worry about illegal traffic as we do. Understanding that that traffic is generally run by cartels who are exceedingly enthusiastic about a bit of the old ultra violence. 3) those illegals you do round up, you segregate off on islands away from the populace.

    And you think this has exactly zero effect on your crime rates.

    That's so adorable I'm not even sure I have the heart to mock you for it.

    That's wonderful. I'm impressed. Only about 13,000 dead people (murders) per year is acceptable by your standards, over 17,000 in 2017 but what is a few thousand people? And near 40,000 deaths by gun in 2017 about the same as your road toll. Sheesh, what does it take to make you alarmed? What does it take for you to not be so content?

    He is also, you know a comedian, you know, one of those people who make way out comments for shits and giggles?

    However there IS truth in humour at times

    Look at Samantha Bee
