lolering at how at the top of this page, we are talking about hitting animals with our cars. At the bottom we are talking about gun laws.

Hehe.

Also, I have to say that owning guns isn't really as bad as many think (I dunno, I think my hunters training course brainwashed me.)

There are quite a number of background checks and a waiting period for small arms in most states (I believe). In order to carry a loaded firearm around, you need a permit.

The shooting sport is enjoyed by many. I for one love it, and would hate to have the things I shoot for a hobby taken away.
A golf-club can be dangerous if you hit someone on the head with it, so if you take away the guns, why not take away the gulf-clubs? (bad analogy, I know)

Cody, I know you mean well, and it's great you enjoy shooting, but again you aren't of age, and are not knowledgeable about firearm laws.

This is an incorrect statment. Backround checks are required at all FFL dealers, PERIOD. Regarding the "Loaded Gun", you are also incorrect. In some states you may, in others, you may not...


Have fun, and be safe

Hi all,

Well its almost impossible to even own a Gun in Australia, you have to be able to prove why you need it and then you need to prove where you are going to use it, im pretty sure only on private land. If you are able to jump all those hurdles you can only own single shot rifles, no hand guns or autos etc.

The upside to this is that we have one of the lowest shooting deaths in the world, no one man rampages through schools, which is fantastic.

The only downside in my opion is that if for some reason if Australia needed to form a militia we would have no weapons in our country, excluding our military and police, which is samll (30,000). My doomsday phrophecy is that in the next 10 - 20 yrs their will be large scale wars over natural resources including water.

I guess that's why we have formed a strategic alliance with the US.

at leat we have the boomarang, yea....

Turkish, I know you mean well, but could you be more arrogant and condescending?

I don't feel that I was arrogant...

He is not old enough to own a gun, and is telling everyone mis-information about firearms laws. What's bad aboutme correcting that? It's the truth, and I don't want anybody to receive the wrong info.

As for me being mean or arrogant or whatever. I don't mind, take it as you wish, I put *""* for a reason

I have never stated that i knew what you had to do, I am against civilians owning firearms nomatter how hard they are to get. I would like to see huntingrifles banned in Denmark eventhou they are single shot and all. Yes people use knives instead but luckely thats easier to defend against so i dont get your point with that argument. Right and i see that last bit as a very bad argument for having guns today.


Ok if thats how you see it im not have a discussion with you, for me a gun will always be a tool for killing other people and not something you have fun with, sorry thats my opinion based on my experience with guns (~3 years in the danish army). There my rifle was my tool and I would not like to own one in civilian life.

If that was directed at me I think you should learn a bit more about people before you say something like that.

Right then, even though it is good that background checks are required for every sale of a gun, some states have more leanient background checks. This can lead to the wrong people having a firearm. Also, I find it funny how you say, "have fun, and be safe". Knowing that some people may not require a permit to carry a loaded gun everywhere they want does not exactly make me feel safe...

Now, I don't have anything against the sport of shooting. It is something people enjoy and (this being the U.S.) they have a right to pursue happiness. However, I see no other use for civilians to own handguns other than protection. And if, like in denmark, less civilians had access to these weapons, the need for a civilian to protect him/herself would be a lot less.

umm, back to thread topic.

Currently serving in the army as a medical student + working part time at an emergency psychiatric ward, which is basically why I disappeared from the servers. It's only for the summer though, and then it's back to good old uni(versity). Oh, and I'm from Norway.

Yes, it will always be a tool for killing. But it can also be a recreational tool, and always will be as long as they are legally obtainable. I hunt, shoot skeet, and go out to the shooting range and have a great time with it. I don't go around killing people though.
