What if America tried Australia’s gun control?

So you want to ban handguns and 90% of guns. So your anti gun basically:p
I disagree. Firstly anyone who knows guns would tell you the ar15 isn’t high powered. If asked they’d rather be shot by a 223 vs. 306.

Harm will be the civil war it starts the millions of deaths and destruction it brings. All cause people don’t understand guns and believe the propaganda.

Yes there is. http://www.dw.com/en/germany-150-percen ... a-41376766

Your nation has 105,000 out of 24,666,964 people 0.43%
USA has 554,000 out of 230,000,000 0.24%

We seem to be doing well per population then either of you, and German has double our homeless population and only has less then half our population.

As a poor person that’s a lie. Housing doesn’t go down cause people are poor. There’s millions of empty houses in the USA cause the banks won’t sell them cause people can’t afford them. They’d rather sit on them and let them fall apart then sell them for less. By your logic housing prices should have plummeted but they increased. Rent has gone up too.

I don’t pay taxes. But policy isn’t about me and I don’t only care about myself.

I get that but you need to understand that most people with money and good jobs would say pay for neither procedures and let their person die. If it saves them a buck. The same people would run over a disabled person to save a minute on their compute. They don’t know us or see us our lives don’t matter to them, it’s that simple. Put us in front of them with a gun and say shoot us they probably wouldn’t. But out of sight out of mind. They don’t care. Mean look at all these wealthy liberals with billions of dollars, how many people could they feed, shelter, help medically, instead they waste it on yachts, mansions, private plans, a savings account they can brag about. Then they say we need to pay more taxes to help people, we need to take illegal immigrants in from all over. But they won’t spend their money offer their mansions to help anyone. They als find ways to avoid taxes on their money. They hypocrites who also don’t really care about people just the publicity they get from saying they care.

Again they’d close the er to anyone that can’t pay

It doesn't strike you as just a little odd that all the sudden the AR-15 is a problem......when it's been available to civilians since 1964? In fact, back then there was not even an ATF form 4473 to complete, no NICS check, no minimum age requirement, AND you could mail order an AR-15 with all the magazines and ammo you wanted and have it delivered to your doorstep.

There's propaganda on both sides and both sides have people who believe their own sides propaganda.

One side has facts and logic and the other has lies and ignorance.
Like how they got people thinking banning simi auto guns won’t effect handguns even though handguns are simi auto. How they hid it’ll ban most 22lr rifles etc. how they say ar15 is high powered despite it only uses .223 bullets. Etc etc etc.

This is not an all-or-nothing world....

There’s reasons for the 2nd Amendment.

There’s reasons for gun control.

"By why do you need such a powerful weapon?!?!", they shriek with their panties in knots when arguing against the AR-15 or anything in the same caliber when the 5.56mm NATO (.223 Remington) is a cartridge better suited for woodchucks and coyotes. These are the same people that preach the importance of education and enlightenment when they themselves are so willfully ignorant.

There’s thousands of fun controlmlaws. Enoug is enough. The balance as long since been passed and gone too fare already tinto infringement. And very law they said this is all we want, so no enough is enough.

This guy is right on. Wish my state had representatives like him

Did you see the cnn where thy guy was afraid to shoulder it and the military expert said he was going use fully simi automatic mode lol
Anti gun people don’t know anything about guns or understand them at all. It’s why they so easily lied to and misled.

This one?

Yes minis the commentary, but the guy was entertaining. Excuse me while I go shot my handgun full simiautomatic lol

No, I've already stated that the U.S. has a huge cultural problem, and it's not just guns.

It just so happens that I don't think high-powered weapons should be easily available to civilians, just like I don't think my neighbors should be allowed to own flamethrowers and grenade launchers.

Hell, we lock-up baby formula and Tide pods, but we want to give whatever gun anyone wants, with as much ammo as they want, whenever they want it, for whatever the reason.

I can go buy as much baby formula or tide pods as I want. Neither are locked up. Where do you live?

Flame throwers and grenades ad non discriminate weapons. Ar15 isn’t high powered how many times do we have to tell you this before you stop calling it that?
And they are no different then any other simi auto rifle. You just dislike them cause the news says they look scary. Well news use to say black people looked scary, hmm ar15 are black, news says they safety but same same style fun with wood is ok. Maybe the media is irrational. Just cause someone or something looks scary doesnt mean it is. Trust me my 8mm maus r is far far far more high powered and deadly then a ar15. Remember the Texas tower sniper? He used a bolt action rifle and killed 14 people. This could happen anywhere there’s a tall building above crowds.

I live in Arkansas,

The most recent tragedy was caused by a mentally ill teen who was sold an AR-15. In the Declaration of Independence, I'm guaranteed the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Personally, I think my right to life supersedes the "right" of a mentally ill teen to purchase a weapon that's capable of killing massive amounts of people, in a short amount of time, with little to no training.

I'm tired of gun-folks who act like any restriction on guns is a travesty. Keeping deadly weapons out of the hands of killers won't be 100% effective, but it would be a start. Last time I checked, machine guns were highly regulated. I wonder why.

I'm NOT "anti-gun," I just don't think anyone should be able to obtain whatever gun they want with no restrictions. I also don't want North Korea getting nukes. Guns (or nukes) may not kill people, but it's pretty hard to kill someone by pointing your finger at them and yelling, "BANG!!"

So your rights trample mine? Last I checked murders illegal?
Also when do you stop? Rifles? Handguns? All guns? When will it be enough. Banning simi auto guns won’t stop mass shootings so your call for banning bolt action and level actions, and when they still happen what will you ban thena. And when all guns are banned and shootings still happen what will we ban?
Only adults can Buy guns. You’d punish 100 million people for the actions of 15 people. You’d take away a 100 million peoples rights and freedoms for that. What about our life and pursuits of happiness?
Sorry freedom means risks freedom means bad stuff will happen. I like freedom. And deep down you do too.

Not a single one of these laws will keep Andy guns or weapons out of killers hands, and the politicians pushing them say so themselves.

Machine guns are regulated because nra and republicans sold us down the the river. I and all pro 2nd amendment people are fighting to remove th Hughes amendment and NFA laws and make machine guns unregulated again.

There’s tons of restrictions too many as is. It’s far easier to buy a knife axe, or drugs, or a car etc. every time you buy a gun you show ID, fill out lots of paperwork, go through a fbi or state police background check that takes 10-30 mins. The store keeps record of your purchase as well forever. Do you have to go through a background check to vote? No you don’t even have to show id. What about protesting do you need a background check? What other right do you need to show id and do a background check for?

Also as for flame throwers
“Believe it or not, there are no federal laws governing private ownership of flamethrowers or flamethrower-like devices (they’re considered “extended-reach torches”). It all comes down to individual state laws, and for the most part, everybody is surprisingly pretty chill with you bringing the heat. Only two states in the country restrict the devices: California and Maryland.”

Also the only thing stopping people from owning tanks, cannons, bombs, grenades, is money. If you’re rich you can have all those things. Some people have a price tank force or a private air force. And if you get government permission they make you new machine guns. Or if your a us democrat senator you can get them made for you to sale for campaign funding. The rest of us can only get pre 1986 ones. But laws of congress don’t apply to congress. Would a congressmen or senators get away with murder? Where’s the whole laws don’t apply t them stop? And it’s this corrupt government, the same government that fails to report the shooter to nics, the same government thst don’t arrest him after asaulting his mom, that failed due to corruption( they don’t arrest kids romlowr crime rate for school funding) and laziness that you want to give more control to and epexct them to stop future shootings. Heads up they won’t they’re still be corrupt and fail. How about fix the government. How will expanding background checks help if they don’t put th dangerous people in it under current law cause it’s too much work?

Also it’s super funny anti gun people say trump is new hitler but they want to make it s only him and his government has guns. Like what. So they say he’s hitler and going kill millions so let’s make it sonly he has guns and the rest of us are defenseless o.0
They want t expand the power of the man they say is pure evil. Makes no freaking sense
