Over the top there aren't you? I was talking about the non-U.S. citizens on this forum, if it's any business of yours MR. Hide My Country. I was NOT talking about every legal citizen in the U.S. CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

Over the top there aren't you? Way over the top again. Take a break. If you still feel that strongly, vote for Trump, he'll build you your walls. |

-[ snip ]--[ snip ]--[ snip ]- You have done nothing to me personally, but the scaremongering about weapons by the likes of you and the NRA are way out of line. I respect your right to bare arms, but do think that the present day interpretation of the 2nd is incorrect. I do think that the US needs to consider very carefully what arms are acceptable and what people should not have them in their possession and what to do about weapons a person has when circumstances change. To do this, it only makes sense that the details are held on a national database, because believe it or not people do move around and cross State borders. Now get off your hobbyhorse apply some serious logic to the problem of the numbers of deaths in your country caused by firearms. And I can assure you having more firearms is not the answer. And yes I did see that post of yours trying to compare the US to other countries. But you were trying to compare oranges with |

The only one that needs to get over youself is YOU . And to say you haven't done anything is B/S . You a member of the NRA ? If so then you are interfering with my country's gun laws . Funny how there are 2 American Air servicemen on charges over here for what may you ask SMUGGLING illegal stuff into the country via the US Air force they are on the payroll of a Australian crime syndicate . OPS guess someone has a BIG mouth ay And they have been charged and the investigation is continuing so there may be more involved |

A gun law in the right direction. Ah yes, the second amendment is Big Brother, born 1984. |

I'm not surprised that we now see sittings and laws that will infringe on the right you hold so dear . 30,000 per year dead and 4 times that many or more injured so that means anything up to 400,000 people per year are effected in some way because of bad laws . The right wing are stupid . Case in point ..... David Cameron who thought he could win the vote . Arrogance is what the right wing are as our current LNP are and will find out this Saturday when they lose the election . Sometimes compromise is better than taking a issue or right as being a absolute. As I can see it wont just be the Assault rifles that will be banned in the not to distant future and all it's going to take is another Mass shooting and the 3,000,000 NRA members will be out voted because of how many victims there are from violent gun crime The NRA should have listened to what I have been saying and put forward real gun control laws before the government and victims call for even more control than just banning or having special rules for Assault rifles |

Greetings, Ok then. I will cede to the higher knowledge of those not of this country. I and others that believe as I do are wrong. Those in other countries that believe we should be ruled by Big Brother... are correct. So-be-it. I will argue no longer. Take care... :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS?

Greetings, Siran sorry but you really don't understand what is going in your own country . the above comment about Big Bro is mute . While watching a Doco only a few days ago even I was not aware of what your NSA is doing . The show is called Cyberwar Threat Synopsis The global cyberwar is heating up and the stakes are no longer limited to the virtual world of computers. Now, thanks in part to secret documents released by Edward Snowden, the true scale of the National Security Agency's scope and power is coming to light. NOVA examines the science and technology behind cyber warfare and asks if we are already in the midst of a deadly new arms race. (From the US) (Documentary) I would put up a link to SBS but you wont be able to watch it because of Country locks But suffice to say don't worry about the things you would be aware of like a Gun register it's the things you don't know about that you need to be worried about as the things you know about you can keep a eye on and pull the government back into line if it's misused . If I was you try to find this Doco and watch it to see what I mean it was made in 2015 so it's not every old |

Knives should be banned too. ;) Well, there are countries that have those bans in public spaces. The Prohibition concerning knives and other dangerous objects, (1988: 254), often abbreviated to the knife law, is a Swedish law prohibiting the possession of knives and other pointed and edged weapons in public places, in a school district and a vehicle in a public place if they are intended to be used as weapons in crimes concerning life or health. The law also includes other objects that are intended to be used as weapons. [1] The Act also prohibits the sale or transfer of such items to persons under 21 years. Britain has extensive laws against acquiring and owning knives as well. |

Taking a long time in "going home" then. "More than 1000 US Bases and/or Military Installations The main sources of information on these military installations (e.g. C. Johnson, the NATO Watch Committee, the International Network for the Abolition of Foreign Military Bases) reveal that the US operates and/or controls between 700 and 800 military bases Worldwide. “U.S. Military Troops and Bases around the World, The Cost of ‘Permanent War’â€, confirms the presence of US military personnel in 156 countries. The US Military has bases in 63 countries. Brand new military bases have been built since September 11, 2001 in seven countries. In total, there are 255,065 US military personnel deployed Worldwide. These facilities include a total of 845,441 different buildings and equipment. The underlying land surface is of the order of 30 million acres. According to Gelman, who examined 2005 official Pentagon data, the US is thought to own a total of 737 bases in foreign lands. Adding to the bases inside U.S. territory, the total land area occupied by US military bases domestically within the US and internationally is of the order of 2,202,735 hectares, which makes the Pentagon one of the largest landowners worldwide." |
