So what evidence suggests making the entire U.S. a gun free zone will reduce these mass killings?

The fact that is has worked in every other country that has done it.


Ya mean like Mao Ze-Dong's China, Adolf Hitler's Germany, Joseph Stalin's USSR, Pol Pot's Cambodia and Kim Il Sung's North Korea?

*sigh*

It's also illegal to expose yourself in public in all those countries...murder is illegal there...stealing, I'm pretty sure stealing is illegal there too...oh they also breathe in those countries. Are you breathing Guy? If you are, YOU ARE JUST LIKE STALIN, BECAUSE BEFORE HE DIED, HE WAS BREATHING!!!

Anyway, the real world outside your head has lots of other countries in them that are considered very civilised and excellent places to live. Australia for example, not known for it's Nazis, not known for mass shootings either.

Have you taken a look at what's happened in Australia since they banned guns?


Since Australia introduced gun controls in 1996, after a mass killing, there hasn't been a similar incident since.

And the reports by the NRA using false data,the Australian Attorney General has asked the NRA toremove allreferences to Australia from it's reports and site.

Ya know, it's kind of difficult to have a civilized conversation with you when you refuse to acknowledge more than four percent of the facts.

Have you taken a look at what's happened in Australia since they banned guns?

Where's our Australian friends? How come you're being so quiet now?

How's that long-gun registration going for you up in Canada?

Ask me politely to turn in my assault weapons for destruction and to register all my other guns. Let's see how that'll work out.


It's also hard when you conveniently overlooked that it wasn't Hitler or the Nazis that banned guns in Germany, it was the Weimar Republic.
I pointed that out 1-2 days ago.
A former S@H cruncher, conservative, whom I am connected to elsewhere (as are some of the other posters here, people more liberal than I am independent), conceded this point.
Your response should either have been concession as well, or educating me on how I was wrong.
Alas, that was not to be. Instead, you repeated it:
Ya mean like Mao Ze-Dong's China, Adolf Hitler's Germany, Joseph Stalin's USSR, Pol Pot's Cambodia and Kim Il Sung's North Korea?

If you want civil conversation, be civil. When you claim something, and some believes they've disproved it (in this me, and I can look up the links again), then follow it up! If you find the counterclaim is correct, drop it (or even admit it "out loud".) Don't repeat your original, wrong, claim! If the counterclaimer is wrong, prove it to them. You, nor the "memes" posted here or on social networking sites, have not proven Hitler banned guns. I have seen much evidence brought against this claim. I have seen evidence brought against some of the other, similar, claims as well (though some of that may just be the dates someone was in power).
If this can't be done, well, I'll quote some Metallica & Styx for ya, and I think we know how the rest of your posting career here at S@H is going to work out.

Metallica: My Friend of Misery

You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your own voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what you've heard
You, you're smothered in tragedy
And you're out to save the world


Styx: Cold War

Ya talk, talk,
and get so intense
that ya almost make sense.
And that's what scares me the most.

By your definition of tyranny, too much taxes. Why haven't you free'd yourselves from Washington?

Guy, quoting a man with Alzheimer's really does not strengthen your position.

In The Libber World, We The People Are All Safe. From Ourselves and Others.

There will be No Who Or What Is Dangerous.

Remember The Happy, Safe, Working, Partying, Vacationing Germans? From '33 to '39. They thought The German Guv Was Da Bomb.

Then The Germans, brought Into The Camps, to View What Their Guv Had Wrought-IN THEIR NAME.

What Is The Government Doing IN OUR NAME? Making US Safe?

Let The Working, Partying, Vacationing Begin.

You Know, Like It Is Inaug Day and Night, Every Day and Night.

World Freedom Index 2013: Canadian Fraser Institute Ranks Countries

America is number 7. All the countries with a higher freedom index than the US have strict gun control laws.

So yeah, being in Canada is working out for me. I am freer than you, and you are so unfree, you don't even know it.

Speaking Of Brittish Rock: What Tube Amp or Solid State Amp do you think is The Best for Brittish Rock? What Guitar, Pick-ups, and light or heavy strings?

And Keeping with The Firearms Topic: What Firearm could best Blow To Smithereens said Amp with One Shot?
