Funny, most Australians aren't free to own a firearm and we feel freer than you - at least we aren't wiretapped.Smitty5613 wrote:

I agree with the semi auto rifles & shotguns being banned/restricted - but come on BB guns - really, the next massacre with one of those will be the first.Sentinel wrote:

Guns are made to MAIM and INCAPACITATE. Don't give me that sport shooting bullshit either. If you're a sport shooter and you own a COMPETITION pistol or rifle, well good on ya (as long as you practise your hobby safely of course). Don't try and tell me you own a Glock 19 or a Beretta so you can go sport shooting or hunting.
The reason people call for a ban on guns (and swords, and flickknives, and maces etc) is because they were designed with only one concept in mind: KILLING (and/or MAIMING)
Cars, while they do kill people, are made for TRANSPORT. Kitchen knives are made for CUTTING FOOD. Baseball bats are made for BASEBALL. Guns are made for KILLING
BB Guns are a different matter. They tend to be view as toys, and as such given to kids, who then hurt people and things.I_SUCK_999 wrote:

Owning a gun is called a hobby. Some collect stamps, and others like to collect guns. It's just an item until the wrong person gets their hands on it. Ban guns, and the bad guys will kill with something else, along with their illegal guns, leaving lawabiding citizens defenseless.SharkyMcshark wrote:

That's awesome, if a bar fight kicked off and everyone pulled out a sword like the medieval times.

That's dumb logic. Why not give everyone access to nukes, afterall, if you don't the bad countries will just kill with something else.psychotoxic187 wrote:

Actually, yes, you can (I'm pretty sure) own a blunted sword in Victoria.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Apart from Australia's match with SA, the semis & finals are going to be interesting.
But I can still use it to dish out some pretty nasty welts.Bubbalo wrote:
