    Thats for the politicians. The right to bare arms can stand. The right to bare semi autos and more than 6 handgun rounds would break the law. My suggestion

    You "don't care about Mexico" but care about the USA? Ah, bigotry much?

    Of course, your "don't care" was just ducking the fact that strict anti-gun laws do not stop murders as documented in Mexico AND comparing murder rate decline in the USA to decline in Australia.

    I gather you also "don't care" about murder, only mass murder - and only mass murder of white people. Did I get that correct? Sounds very Australian.

    In the US, gun control is seen by the pro-gun as an agenda of 'death by many cuts' for gun rights. As a show of good faith that this is not the intent, I think it would help for those proposing new laws to give up some of the old ones in a legitimate compromise.

    Do you have a compromise to suggest, or should the anti-gun crowd get all the gain while the pro-gun only lose rights?

    The wrong section? My bad. Mistake.
    Banning high capacity rifles? No, semi auto maybe and limiting how many rounds for a handgun on your person. Who needs more than 6. Its not the ok corral.

    You play a guessing game. I love all people. Dont give a damn of which colour you be. In fact I'd be more proud being black but you wouldnt believe me. As for Mexico I'm just not interested.

    Why not put a 25mph speed limit on cars while you're at it. Think how many lives that would save?

    I dont think you can discuss this. Its just beyond you and many others that humans were slaughtered. It has to stop.

    Yes indeed,the slaughter must stop. We must lower speed limits to 25mph and it must be done now! High speed collisions kill far more people than semi auto guns.

    "Nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day. An additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled. More than half of all road traffic deaths occur among young adults ages 15-44."

    It is written in the sacred Constitution(al amendment) that people's rights to bear arms shall not be infringed.

    So, if we want that changed, we will need His Holiness, Emperor Trump, himself to issue a decree. Then we can at least discuss it.

    At least prevention of road crashes is being tackled by technology like driverless cars, pedestrian/animal recognition, safety features. Gun loving stubborness has zero technology to prevent guts splattered everywhere

    Not with the NRA sheep. They are going to oppose outlawing the bump stock because they oppose everything because they are cowards who cling to their guns

    Look I can see where the gun culture came from. I am of the view that complete banning of guns (in the USA) is impractical and would divide the nation further.
    It is reasonable to ban semi auto rifles and limit handgun rounds to 6 for self protection. Laws can be introduced to provide jail terms as mandatory for exceeding this level including machine guns etc. No exceptions. The NRA should compromise a little.

    You can say the exact same thing about the gun grabbers. Obsesses with gun control which is a proven failure.

    All for it. Gun safety is NRA priority one.

    That vovers a lot of ground with handguns.
    What if semi autos were released only in hunting seasons?

    Just like you need a car or motorcycle that can travel at over 150 MPH to go to the supermarket.

    You mean to be affected by emotions of those who have lost family?

    Our founders put gun rights into our constitution, for they understood humanity and history all too well. Losing a democracy, a republic when the citizens cannot defend it from evil, power driven rulers is more important for any people, than getting a false sense of security from confiscating guns. For guns will still be present, owned by criminals, and used by the evil ruling elites to keep themselves in power.

    The reform needs to be with the people who are the murderers. Not the 99 percent who own guns responsibly and obey the laws.

    How about life sentences/executions for gun killers instead of punishing law abiding gun owners? http://www.politifact.com/texas/sta...firearm-homicide-rate-down-least-one-third-1/

    So you have more suicides, they just use another means?

    People still use guns to hunt there, right? I know of some people who hunt in australia, with guns.

    Well said, as I've said a million times, guns aren't just for hunting.
