We all know Laws prevent this type thing.

You know what they say: "It isn't illegal until ya get caught"

But from all the past 'Gun Laws Solve everything' threads?
Surely this should not have happened down under!
Or could it be, no, it can't be!
Takeing Gun ownership from Law abideing people doesn't work?
WT??

It sure helped in Pennsylvania today.

Anyway, this has got nothing to do with gun control, and to be honest I think it's pretty disrespectful to those who have died here today to try and wedge some kind of political diatribe into it.

Of course, if it is a anti-American, or gun control "political diatribe", that's completely different.

And here all along I thought the British were masters at off brand humor.
Thank You for correcting that mistaken thought.
I hoped you ducked at the irony of several old threads as relate to this.
Then again? You probably cringe at some of Monty Pythons work.
Simple minds and such.
To each his own I say.

Oh. And please feel free to report my posts if they offend you and your safe little world.
I travel, work, and live in some of the worst places in the U.S.A. you can be thankful you will never see.

I give up with this place, I really do. Whatever happened to tact? And respect for other people? When the Boston bomber did his thing, did we start making jokes about the US?
I mean, seriously, two people have died today and all you guys can talk about is gun control, sitting there gloating because you think that gun control is the ultimate answer?
Quite sickening if I'm honest.
I don't care if you think I'm from some fluffy world, I don't really care what parts of the US have been seen or not seen, I just thought, for one deluded stupid minute that this forum was meant to be run with some decorum and respect. Stupid me.
What a ****ing joke.

An now may you understand why I gave up the privateer account.
We, and I mean you and I and others can not make a comment that is not distorted no matter how hard we try to phrase it for proper reading.
You think I like that people died?
Am I serious about goading some that made big issues about Laws that should be passed in MY Country? (Well, that one Yes)
I really enjoyed your point of view on alot of things but if your gonna tap out?
I'm probably not far behind you.
(You didn't answer me about Monty Python!)

The Prime Minister who put that law into effect has been retired for years, nearly a decade. A lot of people I know in this country are against gun control. So shut up, you're preaching to the converted.

Act like adults. Show respect to the people who have died. Show respect to the families that have been torn apart. Show respect to the people who are still in shock from their ordeal.

3 people died in Sidney. Guess what? Chicago hasn't reported in for the daily kill.
An hour south of me? Probably 3 or 4 deaths.
Am I a bit hardened to it all? I have to be. It's where I live. Not some place on TV News but where I dwell.
I don't live in a wishful world where everything is rosy and Daddy takes care of me.
I work amoungst heroin and meth addicts that will just as soon stab me for a buck as ask for a handout.
Act like an adult? Ya. I do that. I insure I come home alive and my home is protected, bills are payed, and I put fear into anyone local that threatens my abode.

I jumped out of AirCraft and completed my assigned missions to preserve my rights.
If that offends you? There's a project that is looking for Sesame Street.

DANG IT! Now you make me look like a Richard by your deleteing your post! Oh! Wait I am!
