OK the chances of that happening are rather slim but my main point goes back to an occurance in Melbourne last week. 3 people were shot in the city by a member of the Hells Angels bikey gang leaving one dead. In Australia and Victoria in particular we have extremely strickt gun laws. Only sports shooters can have a pistol that is limited to 10 bullet clips. These people must be part of a sporting shooters association and participate regulary in events or their license will be void. Yet this guy had an ILLEGAL firearm and shot three people.

I'm not exactly a pro gun extremist, America is very lax in some states imo BUT we have 2 rifles and a shotty at my house and all I can say it is not the people with legal firearms who should be hounded. Criminals will always get illegal weapons as is proof from the events I previously mentioned. People talk of crimes of passion where a licensed gun owner shoots someone, well that happens WITHOUT guns i'm afraid.

This guy has breached peoples rite to privacy and he replies "Thank you for your thoughtful comments about your support for secrecy in government"??? Go get your tin hat you conspiracy knob, he is nothing but a moron.

A big part of the problem with gun violence in the United States is capitalism.

These small gun companies, making shoddy guns, who sell them on the basis of them being cheaper than your Smith & Wessons and Sturm Rugers, and are easily obtainable by criminals.

These cheap guns have flooded the market in mass numbers, are often resold because they have no real value like a nice gun will to its owner, and these are the guns you always hear the cops complaining about.

In gunowning families, once a gun comes in, it does not go out. It's like adopting a new baby.
