no.. actually it was logic.. 

 

Jim Jerries sums up the aussie attitude to our gun buy back started 
 

 

He does make good points and they support gun ownership out of his naivety.  His first joke was flat out ominous.  When he stated that his government said "That's it, no more guns!"  One cringes as imagining 18 million surrendering their GOD given rights and just became slaves of the government.  Scary.

No matter how often you repeat the statement of Australians being slaves under a tyranus government, it will not become true.

It is not like the ruby slippers Ravenhawk.

That’s a statement of someone in denial.  I don’t have to repeat it because it is already true.  By definition, a people that does not enjoy the full complement of rights is an enslaved or kept people.  One in a gilded cage rarely is aware of it.

We are all(even you) viewing life from the inside of that gilded cage.

That is the funny thing about the american revolution.. if King George was not so much of an ass.. you would still be a constitutional Monarchy.. and probably be over my part of the world competing in the commonwealth games.. 

But unfortunately he was.. and your not.. *shrugs* 

It’s interesting because there were all sorts of events that occurred that led to the Revolutionary War.  And if any one of these events did not happen could have thwarted Independence.  It seems that if we didn’t win our Independence in 1783, would events continue to occur that would have allowed it to still happen at some point?  It is almost as if our Independence was divinely ordained.  And we are continually being tested in the crucible.

we are all salves to money, to banking system. thou it is not traditional way of slavery like in usa 250 years ago, or ancient rome., but still banks have all the power over you.  gvmnt is not far behind, any gvmnt, just think, if you do not pay property tax gvmnt can either put you in jail or take your property, why do few people (gvmnt is people) make you pay them for your own land,

Maybe so, but at least I am aware of it.  Every generation must fight to be free.  There is give and take.  At least I know where I am lacking and I know where I want to be.  And the government has a minor role in that place.

The very first gun control laws in the USA were racist laws limiting a black person's ability to defend himself.  The message is clear, free people can own guns, slaves cannot.

and that is why your country will never actually be free.. 

 

because you let fear rule your lives.. 

I think you mean legitimate concern. It’s not impossible and with an ally like US your government wouldn’t likely consider it. Disarm US and we can no longer control our government. The world benefits from an armed American population. We keep our government from going too far astray and we are at least 300m private arms strong on top of our elite military that keeps other nations out. We fall, everybody falls.

That is terrible. Someone thought that they had the right to control a group of people using intimidation of violence. By empowering one group above another.

The same thing can be achieved using reward and disciplines of many varieties.

Say, only people with blue eyes can have cafeteria access, that does not mean people without cafeterias are slaves.

It is just another argument against gun control. The people of Australia are allowed guns, if they proove themselves to be mentally sound, have no criminal convictions, no political extremism and a verified reason for ownership.

Anyone has the right to apply and they can not be refused for the colour of thier skin or religion.

They are not gunless slaves.

22 years.. and we are still not a dictatorship..

 

just saying.. 

How would you know?  Have you had any serious need to stand up against a decision of your government yet?  What happens when you do?  Or are you content that such an event could never happen?   I'm saying this respectfully.  It may be that you are correct but I don't understand how you could know it before the crunch came.  just sayin'

heh.. God given right.. its not a god given right to own a gun my friend.. 

we did not give up all guns.. they banned certain classes of guns.. and we agreed.. you know there is a small push to lift those restrictions.. but over all.. australians do not want those bans lifted.. we are happy that we do not have massacres anymore.. we are not afraid to send our kids to school because we do not have to worry about some student going nuts and taking a array of weapons to school to kill his/her class mates.. we can walk the streets and not worried about some random decide to go on a shooting spree.. 

so hey.. keep your guns.. it is your right.. live with the thought that it may be your kid/nephew/neice etc that could get gunned down while attending their class.. 

but should that day come.. and I pray to the gods it never does.. just remember.. that it was your choice not to make a change..

yes, we got it, gun control works in Australia (as much as kangaroo control works in usa) , but this is not about Australia.  nor we Americans see Australia as an example to follow. we are happy that you like your  gvmnt and trust it blindly,  but we do not like or trust ours, and there is nothing  you can say that will change our opinion.

Yes I know, you can have a gun if you can prove you need it.  Who decides if your reason is good enough?  How many licenses are issued and where?  Probably not where there is much crime I'll wager.  Probably very far from cities where you may need one to defend yourself and certainly the only legitimate reason will be hunting far, far from others.  That whole cafeteria argument Kismit is.....meh.  Ask yourself, in Australia who has guns?  The people in charge, that's who, but not you.  It's fine if you don't mind it though.

in Germany people "allowed"to have guns, but not at home, they are stored in a shooting club (that i'm sure you have to be a member of) , and they call it "we can have guns", lol we have very different understanding of what "having" a gun means

The right to defend yourself is, and in the USA that means you have the right to a weapon, since there is a chance that the person you may need to defend yourself from might have a gun then you have the right to a gun.  In the USA, unlike you, we believe that our rights are natural rights granted by the creator not allowed us by a government so it is anathema to us that we allow a government to curtail our natural rights.

It is so a natural right to be able do defend yourself by equal or greater means than the aggressor. That don’t mean you have to, want to, will or will be compelled to but why on earth shouldn’t you be able to?

Really what I was thinking is that if you are a high ranking martial artist, boxer, pro-fighter that if you are intentionally causing physical harm to someone that you can be charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

If that were true my boss would have to register his breath.

That is interesting. I see it as ingenuity. But that is in the concept I saw it in.

When my eldest child lost his first tooth, he took his $2 from the tooth fairy, went to the shop, brought some candy teeth and stuck them in a glass of water beside the bed. He saw a potential to make money and he marketed it. This was how I viewed the fake gun.

 

Cool story about your son. ;)

About the fake gun, I saw it as fraud. I guess we should allow counterfeiters to pass phony money too. That's ingenuity.
