Couple of decades ago, Australia had a mass shooting, similar to Columbine or Newtown. And Australia just said, well, that’s it, we’re not doing, we’re not seeing that again, and basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws, and they haven’t had a mass shooting since.

Our levels of gun violence are off the charts. There’s no advanced, developed country that would put up with this.

The demographics in the US are much different. If guns were confiscated, crime would go through the roof...

Did he mention that Australia's homicide rate has decreased at a slower rate than the US's in that same time period while all other violent crime rates in Australia have increased?

FYI, the US's overall violent crime rate has decreased in that same time frame.

This contradicts every statement Obama has ever made rallying for "even just the most minor regulations, and 'common sense ideas".

It shows simply that his end goal or wish is too disarm citizens of their second amendment rights completely.

Don't forget trees that can explode while you're at it.

The oils in the Eucalyptus tree are highly flammable and cause the tree to explode in bush fires.

Demographics are but one issue.

Perhaps I could interest Obama in a globe.

There's something else about Australia that makes them different. Can't quite put my finger on it......

But, but, but, but, VOR assured us all that there were no Democrat politicians that wanted to take away our guns.

Hell, he even mocked anyone who would make such an absurd suggestion.






What a MORON.

Honestly, anyone asserting this is a bald faced liar. No one even slightly informed could possibly believe that. Oh. You could argue there are none that will try. You could argue there aren't enough that would like to ban them. You could argue many things. But to argue that there are none in D.C. who WANT to ban them all is just idiocy.

The point went totally over your head.


When he praises a country for their response being to take away all guns, it is obvious that he wants to take away guns. I don't know how to make that any more clear.

Do you have anything to say other than laugh and try to play around like an idiot?

Perhaps you would like to argue the statistical side of things. Antonio has that covered as well.

I'm not arguing his point. I'm arguing, and laughing at, the fact that you think Obama is coming for your guns.
