What I’m against is having weak gun laws. the US is a clear example of that and a path no-one wants to go down.
If theres antis on the forum the best cover they could have and the most harm they could cause would be to promote exactly that.
Representing us as wanting gun laws relaxed just like in the USA is the most damaging thing anyone could do on an Australian gun forum.
Speak for yourself mate. I would love to have American gun laws. Even California, New York and New Jersey the worst of the worst have better laws than we do in Australia. Dont blame the tool for the actions of the user. 4 cops killed by a truck. Lets restrict trucks....... Oh and old mate in Melbourne that used his commodore to run people down a few years ago. Lets ban Commodores.
So called mass shootings are kind of like a plane crash. People freak out because it has a high death toll but the reality is they are rare outlier events. People dont freak out about all the murders that go on every day that you never really hear about.
