The 'Americans Getting Shot' Thread

[Necron99]

No problem bearbait. It is too bad those in the UK have allowed the governments tactic to work of programing all citizens to be anti-gun.

It could be said Rick, that having been raised in an extreme gun culture Americans, much like those indoctrinated into religions from an early age, are incapable of discussing the issue objectively.
"You aren't American, you can never understand" sounds suspiciously like "Unless you accept Jesus, you will not understand".

Agreed. The same could be said about those who have been raised in a country which does not allow the right of citizens to own firearms. These countries would have the polar opposite view and could not possibly understand the American gun culture.

We are both saying the same thing, but in different ways.

I'm Australian, I grew up with guns, just not assault rifles and people walking around packing in public.
I didn;t agree with the gun buyback, or some of the current laws. But any non felon in Oz can buy a pistol or rifle/shotgun if they want one, they just have to have a valid reason, sport or agricultural use.
Self defense is not a valid reason.
And at all times, it must be stored in an approved way, unloaded and locked.
Police have the right for no notice inspections and make them.
Failing an inspection, gun loaded, not secured by an approved method, is a felony.
