Vote no to Assault weapons ban

At least you still have the death penalty, it's a shame Australia got rid of this, IMHO, there is just some crimes that deserve the ultimate punishment.

Unfortunately there is no easy answer, out here we don't 'feel' the need to own a gun for self protection because majority of the population (and many crims for that matter) don't have one, for you guys, you need one because the crims do have them. There's the problem, if the crims didn't have them then all you would need to own a gun for is sporting / collecting, not self protection, but, how do you get the guns out of the hands of criminals and people on the edge ready to crack!.
It will be interesting to see what comes out of this, it was in fact a massacre in Australia that prompted our government to introduce the tough gun laws. Remember a politicians #1 concern is votes, public outcry (if there is any) and media attention will probably be the deciding factor.

It is a catch 22 for sure. Good points you make. Americans will never give up there guns without a serious battle. It would be very ugly and the politicians know it. The Gun Lobby in our country is much stronger than anyone could estimate............... will see how it go's

I think Canada has a higher gun ownership rate than the US per person, yet much, much lower gun death rates.
true, but we are starting to catch up

The main reason is that our Judges let violent people off to easy. They do not serve much time in our hotel style prisons. Bad people in the U.S. know, that if they are arrested for a crime, they will soon be out after bulking up on the weight machines in jail. Most violent crimes involving firearms in the states, are commited by people that have been in and out of jail and didn't spend enough time there to learn a lesson. If we would keep these people behind bars the gun crime would be more in line with other socialist nations that you speak of. How bout them D'max's

Amen
