    Who would have thought? Harder to get guns? Lets use knives instead! The republicans have been saying it for years. I'm glad we have Australia as an experimental site to see what happens in an anti-gun society.

    A female police officer is being acclaimed as a “hero” after fatally shooting a knife-wielding man who killed six and injured several others in a Sydney, Australia, mall on Saturday.

    I thought these people wrestled gators. 6 of them couldn't take out one person with knife? Looks like they need guns more than they thought!

    Fire in Yorkshire England and a family is saved by a six year old girl without a gun.

    sounds about right, pretty sure bullets can't do much against fire. Thanks for stating the obvious. I'll be waiting in hopes you have an actual REAL rebuttal
    Thanks

    It went extremely well. 100%! A GUN saved six lives in an anti-gun country. let that sink in. No matter what I say, this thread is fool proof

    I don't think criminals with unregistered guns got your memo. Can you please tell THEM?

    Who cares if she's a cop? I think i see what you are doing. You can't give a solid rebuttal of the OP content so instead, you want to derail. If i hadn't seen this done 100 other times i might fall for it.
    What you should be doing is writing a thank you letter to the GUN that saved these lives
    If you need help with it, let me know

    just focusing on the red part (since the rest is lacking in substance and fact), AGAIN, I don't think the criminals got your memo. I don't want them to have guns either. Why do they even have them in places in the USA where they are illegal? How did that happen? Is it a mystery? I'll be looking forward to your next reply and BUMP (you are doing a wonderful job at that)
    On your marks..............get set.............GO!!!!!

    IF you truly think I want it to do disappear then please keep bumping it. So far, you are doing a splendid job. As a matter of fact I want it to be on page one for at least 3 months. Can you make that happen? I think armed American woman need to be notified so they can go to Australia to help protect their male population.

    I'm sure those laws have helped some people in some situations. Sure! I also don't know how not bringing something up is the same as "ignoring" it. I also didn't mention the food toxin crisis, does that mean I purposely ignored it?
    It seems to me the only commonality between LIB and LOGIC is that they start with the same letter.
    By your implication, thugs won't dare try to obtain a firearm if its "against the law".
    I so wish you were right about that one! Honestly , I really do.

    Yeah, that wasn't worded properly. Too late to fix. Is that your smoking gun that proves strict gun laws are helpful? if so, BRAVO

    Yes, guns in the hands of the police. Just imagine if the maniac had been able to get an assault rifle? After the Port Jackson massacre our Aussie brothers banned such guns and I bet they're glad now.

    I don't think ANYONE wants that. Ideally, you put down the target before they can start the carnage. Picture a school shooter being dropped like a bad habit before they can even aim their gun. I think its sweet to think you can stop criminals with the power of love but that doesn't work as well as a gun, sorry

    As you wish! but FIRST, YOU need to point out where I said "all us guys want criminals to be shot down only after they killed a bunch of people al ready.
    Since you are so confident I said that, this should take you NO TIME to find and quote where I said that.
    On your marks............................Get Set....................GO!!!!

    I don't think I said I don't want any gun laws or regulations. I just don't think the average law abiding citizen should ever have to worry about being in such a big disadvantage against those with criminal intent. I don't think any political party has gotten it right on this issue so far. Too much regulation backfires and so does not enough regulation.

    I'm all for the second amendment and citizens being able to own as many guns as they want. I own three myself.
    That being said, can you clarify your statement..."I'm glad we have Australia as an experimental site to see what happens in an anti-gun society."? You DO realize firearm-related deaths in Australia is 0.90 per 100k as compared to US at 10.84 per 100K. So is the 0.90 per 100K firearm-related deaths in Australia what you were referring to in regards to "what happens in an anti-gun society"?
    Again, I am against any gun rights being taken away whatsoever from US citizens. I just wanted to understand what you meant by the bolded statement.
    For the record, stabbing deaths per 100K in Australia is 0.48, in the US 0.60

    I disagree 100% on who should have guns.

    The OP seems to think Australia has 'gators', so the bar for factuality here is about as low as it can be. I'm just treating the entire thread as one long emotional outburst unconnected to reality. Makes more sense that way.
