    Daily sales now matching a normal MONTH'S worth of business. Every time liberals like Cuomo open their big mouth what they want to prevent happens all the more.

    "Banning guns is not the solution to the problemÂ…They're going to push the American people so far, and the American people are going to push back."

    And push back hard in the voting booth at 2014 mid-term, just like they did when the Democrats passed Obama Care in 2010. They shoved that through in early 2010 and lost 63 seats in the House and 6 in the Senate that following November. I can't believe the politicians in Washington are that dumb....conniving, underhanded, self serving, lying bastards yes, real dumb...hardly. In the last 48 hours a man mowed down 13 or 14 kids with his car and within the last month or two another attacked kids 22 at school with a machete in China where private gun ownership is nearly non-existent.

    Our time and effort would be far better spent on finding out what is at the root of the ever increasing violence.

    Poor, sad, frightened little Americans can't function without their gun-blankies for security.

    "Assault weapon" is just a term used by supporters of gun control to try to scare people. It used to be that an "assault weapon" referred to an automatic gun, now the anti-gun media is trying to stretch the meaning to include an ill-defined class of semi-automatics. This has nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with a certain group of people wanting to ban all guns, one by one.

    By the new definition, "assault weapons" are arguably no more dangerous than any other type of gun.

    If so many people were really buying all these "high powered" :roll: guns, would that not seem to indicate that the public may be against more legislation regulating what type of guns people can buy?

    Ah yes, the UK- land of the knife arch search to get on a public bus because Brits can't stop stabbing and slicing each other.

    If the UK had not essentially banned guns, perhaps they would have been a little more cautious about which people they took in from other countries.

    Racist ********s aside, the price of a Bushmaster is doubled since the school mass murder. How much will sick creatures pay for one now the firefighters were murdered with one as well?

    How does the fact that a certain type of weapon was used by a serial killer have anything to do with another responsible individual who choses to own such a weapon?

    I wouldn't be surprised if a few inept gun handlers from America went into the UK and took things over in a coup


    You guys give up your rights and country quicker than the French surrender their arms!

    Easy to conquer a people wih no pride or purpose left

    Peaceful confrontation meet war machine
    Seizing all civil liberties
    Honest ballotation among banshee
    Spilling blood throughout [sings 'on'] humanity
    You cannot hide the face of death
    Oppression ruled by bloodshed
    No disguise can deface evil
    The massacre of innocent people

    Deviated lies fear blinding your eyes
    Enforcing their truth through a gun
    Aggressive discipline and barbaric control
    Thousands of people cannot be wrong

    You cannot hide the face of death
    Oppression rules by bloodshed
    No disguise can deface evil
    That stains the primitive sickle

    Blood red

    Growing opposition with words as ammunition
    Expressions of life's liberties
    Aggressive discipline and barbaric control
    Spilling blood throughout humanity

    [you cannot hide the face of death
    oppression rules by bloodshed
    no disguise can deface evil
    that stains the primitive sickle

    blood red

    Your gun culture is the cause. We've known that for years, but no one listens to us.

    Make, Australia is an island and smuggling is quite difficult. The U.S. Border is about 5525 miles with Canada
    and with Mexico it's about 1996 miles. Bans on anything with that big of a border footprint on dry land is simply near impossible.

    who needs to smuggle? we live in a country that makes cars in garages, we can make a gun in a basement.

    "hobbist" CNC mills start at around $2000. not cheap, but if guns were banned, you could make that back in a week in your spare time.

    Which rights might they be? If you're referring to firearms there never was such a right to give up. Our Bill of Rights of 1689 permitted possession of firearms "as allowed by law".
    Oh, and I believe a certain Mr. Hitler gave up on attempting to conquer Britain, despite his military superiority.

    Australia may be an 'island', but it's a f*cking huge one, about 80% the size of the USA, with tens of thousands of miles (approx 30,000), of sparsely inhabited coastline ideal for smuggling operations. We're not talking Hawaii here!

    Actually you were not. We defeated Hitler's Luftwaffe over Britain in the Summer of 1940. US aid in the form of Lend-Lease didn't begin arriving until later that year. And it's <populace>.

    They begged for the U.S. help real well. If the U.S. didn't step in, they'd all be eating sauerbraten, drinking dark beer and wearing lederhosen.

    that would be a rediculously good idea. and unlike iraq and the rest of the middle east, yall dont actualy have a populous armed well enough that it could thwart such a thing.

    Nobody begged you for anything. Anything we got from you was paid for in either hard cash or was on loan-loans which were finally repaid, with interest, a few years ago. Thanks. Oh, and we've been drinking dark beer for centuries.
