More mayhem from the Madlands

[Anonymous]

My point is that these virtue signalling asshole politicians who whine about restricting gun ownership have been the biggest enablers of gun violence. They aint got any credibility.

[Bricktop]

So true. And in that respect, America is no orphan.



It seems to be the same in every democracy.

That mass shooting in Texas should have been prevented. Everybody was asleep on the job.

See DD, I'm not the only one who feels Bricktop presents his side well.

He's a lot more rational than some of those debating him.

No-one seems to be debating me.

I'm a generous soul.

Ya, you are Okie and that's why old Herman loves ya. Now if you could see the shit those frickin badgers cause to my farm you would understand why I need my rifles.

I have no quarrel with anyone that lives on a farm, or another rural area, that needs both protection from animal and human predators.

Badgers are evil and must die.

Nothing I've said would disbar people with a genuine need for a firearm, including primary producers, from possessing one.

Remove the assault rifles and machine pistols ...keep the handguns.

This discussion will seem like a distant folly when history repeats in the 21st century.

[Bricktop]

Remove the assault rifles and machine pistols ...keep the handguns.

And what will that achieve?

[Frood]

What will removing the civil liberties of any upstanding member of the community do towards curbing the appetites of predatory forces.... whether freedom of speech, right to self defence, the ability to not be enslaved by global forces jockeying for total control of the Earth because your brethren say "truuuuuuuuuust us. We only want to do what's right"  (which is to let us all die in the most expedient of nature's so the few control the remaining)....all because of global cooling, then global warming, and now just "climate change".... whatever the fuck that means after 50 years of oscillation and collusion.



I will die on my feet defending my family and the principles we hold dear.



I call you and have called you a coward because you have this cop's pride about defending people and doing the right thing, even when it was never the right thing ever. Scores of people have lost their lives and their families have endured irreparable damage that has lasted through generations because of what you've done in your previous job...TO them and against the common interest.



You're like a brother of mine.... so proud....so blind.... so ego driven that he can't even sit at the adults table on Christmas or Thanksgiving before being told to Shut the Fuck Up.



But meh.... right? You know about modern firearms despite being an ancient cop and never being raised in firearm culture.... you couldn't even hit a paper dummy, much less drop an animal in the sweet caring spot that hunters try to do. You just say that hunting is barbaric and we all need to get our meat under plastic wrap.



Every time you say it is fact, I hear the word "pussy" in my mind about you and because it's an underlying principle with you... you STILL want to be on top of heap.... even retired.... your fear (or perhaps PTSD) demands that everybody else die before you.... much like those pussies in Uvalde that detained parents trying to go in or die saving their babies.



You suck the State off.... like a baby towards a teet...

Self-preservation. South Africa, like America has a lot of street crime and home invasion. Arming honest law-abiding citizens makes perfect sense. But gun education is paramount. I legally carried a gun at 17 years of course, and I couldn't see a 21 year young Aussie these days having the same responsibility as I had...that's for sure.



It's relative to the violence. Australia is like God's country by comparison.

I think we're finally reaching common ground.

Interesting.



Perhaps this explains the following; "A more alarming finding for South Africans is that the country was found to have the second highest rate of gun-related deaths in the world at 9.4 deaths per 100,000 people."

Again, further evidence to the proposition that the more "legal" guns a country has, the higher the rate of gun related deaths.



It seems to elude gun proponents that the ONLY source of weapons available to "criminals" and the deranged is from the stockpile of "legally" owned and acquired guns, unless, of course, there exists somewhere in the world a gun manufacturer that produces weapons for villains and misfits only.



South Africa is hardly a shining example of gun control and certainly no case for the argument that arming people ensures greater protection.
