How easy is it too pick up a gun and shoot people, learning how to make an EFFECTIVE bomb from household products is difficult, something that takes planning and SKILL. Picking up a GUN and firing it on the other hand is the easiest thing in the world to do. Calling people childish because you don't agree with their opinion is the very reason people like you shouldn't own guns, you can attempt to denigrate others in you advocacy of gun ownership, but all it does is further prove why citizens shouldn't have access to such weapons, when people argue in such an offensive way and with a poor attitude, you know their is something wrong with them and their argument. If the government was saying you can no longer have access to food, water or medicine, I would understand the passion, but to get so reactionary over GUNS, an item that serves NO PURPOSE for the average citizen, it really is kind of crazy. Then again, I grew up in a culture were people DONT own GUNS, they don't feel deprived, they never talk about GUNS, they NEVER talk about regular MASSACRES happening in SCHOOLS, they NEVER lobby Government to OWN GUNS. Guns in general are a NON TOPIC, Nobody cares about them, so it does seem ODD that some people would become RAVING LUNATICS if you suggested they shouldn't OWN GUNS.
The people who are passionate about this issue are overly emotional, and not in a healthy way, they are often juvenile and selfish in their outlook, and other peoples welfare is the last thing they care about. It is possibly hard for you to see the forest through the trees as you have been raised in the middle of an extreme gun culture, but from someone who grew up in a place were people couldn't care less about guns, were schools don't need security and metal detectors and body searches etc. a place were their IS NO SUCH thing as mass killings in school-yards, it is incredibly ODD to deal with people who somehow IGNORE the reality of their CULTURE and continually promote a way of life that is unnecessary and kills many people. I think the question people need to ask themselves is WHY DO I WANT A GUN! is it because other people own guns? is it because you have some perverse sense of ENTITLEMENT?, or is it you are deeply INSECURE? whatever the reasons are, they are probably NOT HEALTHY!

Spoken like a person who has never fired a gun , it takes skill to accurately fire a gun you wouldn't know this because you never have. It also takes skill and planning to carry out a plot to kill 26 people. You ban guns the means to kill 26 people changes and I explained exactly why & how
Picking up a GUN and firing it on the other hand is the easiest thing in the world to do
Again spoken like a person who never fired a gun in his life , don't talk on subjects you have no experience with.

First of all I NEVER said you were childish because you didn't agree with my opinion. You post is childish because it's comes from ignorance and emotion and it's not well thought out. And since when is calling someone's post childish , offensive?
If the government was saying you can no longer have access to food, water or medicine, I would understand the passion, but to get so reactionary over GUNS, an item that serves NO PURPOSE for the average citizen, it really is kind of crazy
Me calling you childish is offensive , yet you're calling me ' crazy ' isn't , hypocrite. I'm not so ' reactionary over guns ' that's you projecting. I'm smart enough to know new , laws , and banning them doesn't solve them problem. And I'm also smart enough to know what works in your country doesn't have anything to do with mine.
Firearms is part & parcel of The United States of America , and their ownership is protected under the Constitution , and has been since the beginning of this country. To claim they have " NO PURPOSE for the average citizen " is again , ignorant because you're talking on a subject you have NO experience with , and it's childish because you're making statements without putting any though into them

Well thanks for admitting you don't know what you're talking about. Australia isn't the U.S . it's childish of you to think your solution is our solution and you have all the answers to a very complex question ( ignorance ) and stop projecting your view of gun owners as " RAVING LUNATICS " and it's not because someone suggests we shouldn't own guns ( more ignorance ) it has more to do with punishing the wrong people for someone else's actions , and infringing on rights of law-abiding citizens
We already learned banning things doesn't mean you can't get them and if you can do mass destruction without them , so prohibiting them from people who follow laws accomplishes nothing. Your idea of ' solutions ' isn't well thought out or accurate.
The people who are passionate about this issue are overly emotional, and not in a healthy way, they are often juvenile and selfish in their outlook, and other peoples welfare is the last thing they care about.

the people who are passionate about this are sick & tired of getting blamed for the actions of lunatics and tried of getting their constitutional rights trampled on
It is possibly hard for you to see the forest through the trees as you have been raised in the middle of an extreme gun culture, but from someone who grew up in a place were people couldn't care less about guns, were schools don't need security and metal detectors and body searches etc. a place were their IS NO SUCH thing as mass killings in school-yards, it is incredibly ODD to deal with people who somehow IGNORE the reality of their CULTURE and continually promote a way of life that is unnecessary and kills many people.
Do you want to continually point out how we should be like you? and you have the solution? Australia is NOT American , you solution doesn't solve anything it has nothing to do with us , stop projecting your ignorant point of view on us , America has ALWAYS been violent from the time the Pilgrims came here until now , America born in blood and knee deep it in and some ignorant kid from Australia has it all figured out
I think the question people need to ask themselves is WHY DO I WANT A GUN! is it because other people own guns? is it because you have some perverse sense of ENTITLEMENT?, or is it you are deeply INSECURE? whatever the reasons are, they are probably NOT HEALTHY!
You project A LOT , I know exactly why I want guns instead of drawing your own conclusion why don't you ask? ( ignorance again ) I want guns because , America is a violent place and I want to protect myself & my family , I'm an enthusiast , and I'm exercising my Constitutional right. Now you have your answer and if that's not good enough for you I don't care because I owe no explanation to some kid from Australia who sits behind his PC thinking he has it all figured out
Guns are like abortions , you don't want one , don't get one. But don't make the mistake of telling me I can't not in this country at least. My guns are a non-issue I don't think of them and most of the time they sit around collecting dust , I get out to the range shoot some paper , bring them back home clean up and lock them up.
You want anyone who owns a gun to be a stark raving lunatic who is ready to blow up at the world , and it's not the reality regardless of what the mass media tells you. You have been programmed to see gun owners as one thing and have NO experience with them or the Americans you lament against. You're an ignorant kid who thinks you know what's best for Americans , and America you have a lot to learn kid.
