[quote="Tool-back":d38a5]ok think about it... most people who are commiting crimes with guns get them ILLEGALLY... meaning even if guns were outlawed thered still be people getting them illegally.[/quote:d38a5]

True in Australia a friend of mine and his family bought a large farm and seriously it took him like 6 months before he could get his hands on a weapon. I reckon that's the way to go, I mean I find it a little odd that they sell shotguns at Wall Mart in the US. Im not sure what the limitations are over there, anyone care to answer that?

The laws surroundong the firearms in Australia are good I ean its tragic that it took the Port Arthur Massacre for Australia to tighten its stance on guns and seriously no one has been that pissed off.

In America you have a right to bear arms, banning full auto weapons and the such still gives you the right to bear arms (just not the ridiculously destructive ones like this one bigzooka: )

Just a question to rudedog, why do you need so many guns, the tommy gun i can understand cos its like WWII and all but why the m4 and the ak47?

Hey Oddball, If I wanted I could go to walmart right now and walk out with a shotgun. Hunting is HUGE over here and a shotgun is in most homes. There is one point thats missed here. In our Constitution we have the right to overthrow our govt if it is nessesary. (its not, at least now) with out these weapons the people lose the power to exscersise that right. Im not saying we are going to revolt. It would take an afull lot for that to happen, but we can do it! While crime rates are high here the countries thatt have banned gun have seem sharp rises in gun related crime. The home invasion rate in AUS has shot through the roof since the "buy back" of your guns. There are many pros and cons to this arguement with both sides having some good points but I like it the way it is here.

lol. It takes much more than guns to overthrow a government, so using that argument is, I'm sorry to say, very lame.

lame, but true and if its in the consitituion do not say its not a valid point, thats as valid as they come when you're talking about the US

Hahaha. Now you really are cracking the good ones.

The constituion is certainly NOT "as valid as it comes". Although I do think it is a nice idea and Britain could do with one. The theory is good, even if the practise is way off.

That part of the Constitution is out-dated.

I don't think banning guns would really solve gun related problems. Drugs are illegal, but people will be willing to do whatever it takes to get them. The same goes for guns.
