" when ppl have guns, ppl use guns, Australia has tight gun controls...why do u think we have less gun violence than the US? Only 5% of Australians own guns, most of them are farmers and ppl in rural areas. Im not saying Australia is perfect but widespread gun ownership (20% and above) in society can only lead to two things crime and death. "
What you say is true. Where there are minimal firearms, there is minimal gun crime. Japan and Germany have largely proved this as well. Why is it that they have no firearms you ask? Because they both lost wars are were forced to surrender them. There are extremely tight gun control laws in both of those countries. And, due to the fact that they surrendered their privately owned arms following the wars and the tight control on importation since that time, there are no longer weapons readily available for criminals to use. This is common sense. The United States however has more than 100 million privately owned arms and consumes more than 7 billion rounds of ammunition annually. This is a gun culture. There is no amount of restriction or law beyond a mandatory surrender of arms (which would not go well for its enforcers) that will effectively curb gun crime. There are simply too many and too readily available. While both Japan and Germany, and as you claim Australia, enjoy low gun crime rates, you also do not enjoy the power of the people that the United States does. While not armed nearly as well as a modern military, the people of this nation do pose a potential threat to an abusive government. The bottom line is that those who rely on the government for protection and are willing to surrender their right to bear arms are relying upon the good nature of their leaders. Sure, you might trust the government to do the right thing now and maybe even in thirty years. It is not about that. It is about protecting future generations from the many horrific scenarios we have bore witness to in history where governments abuse their populace. "
You mean how the politicians are taking your money and giving it to 'too big to fail' banks? Maybe taking important facts out of the textbooks and denying children the truth of history and real education? Or spending your hard earned money they get through ridiculous taxes to spend on bases overseas and wars that have nothing to do with them? Spending 1 trillion dollars a year on military expenses is too much for any country. Politicians are not allowing the fee market to run it's course, adding to the debt and giving companies that should have failed billions of dollars to use and where does it go? Bonuses and bad investments. At the current rate the dollar will fail and a recession will return much worse than the one we had/are all ready in.
Just be careful. Watch politicians for what they do not what they say. Hardly any represent their people but their own self interests and this is true with BOTH parties. I'm so sick of this blind omg the republicans are the best anything they say is right and people are like this on the other side to. Once again watch your representatives for what they DO not what they SAY because these people most of the time are smooth talkers. It's people's ignorance that allowed things to go this far. By the way don't be worried about socialism/communism in the US look out for Facism.
I don't see anyone using their right to bear arms to change the government.
" well i was watching tv and i asked my gf nicely to turn to the game, so she said shes watching something atm i said wtf im missing it cause i paid to watch this game i order it so i punched her and my mom tried to hold me back so i punched her too. "
" I've only played it on the PC, so I can't tell you if it's still worth your time on the PS3, but I know that Dragon Age: Origins can last a good long time. Borderlands is a good 2nd choice, though. I sunk 30-40 hours into just 1 character in that game and that's with no DLC. "
I want to play DoA on the PC but for the English version I need to import... :(
