The gun crimes in Austrailai is low, but it still happens. Get back to me if a friend of yours, or even a close loved one has something bad happen to them. God forbit even you. If someone decides to break into your home with a weapon, what are you going to do? Take the time to grab a knife in the kitchen? Good luck with that. Yes of course the odds of this happening are low, but it can still happen, and does everyday in Australia, in case you weren't aware of that.
What ignorant people dont realize is most of the gun crimes in the US are committed with illegal firearms. No different than what happens in any country in the world, regardless of their laws.
This argument wont be sold on you until someone you know has something bad happen to them, and then your opinion on it may change. Most people that have legal firearms in the US are very normal people. Most of the everyday gun crimes are with illegal weapons, which can be obtained in any town around the world.

"Yeah, a country with far less people in it. Good comparison"
It's per capita mate. Anyways, California (37mil) and Canada(35mil) have a similar population. in 2010 California 1,257 firearms murders, in 2009 Canada had 179.
- You do realize most of those were not registered dont you? Do you even know what a firearm permit is?CygnusZero4

No sane person drives a car to kill people, some just happen to get killed in crashes. Guns are built to kill but they happened to save lives. I say ban both.

You're trying to compare an area like south central LA with Australia. This has nothing do with firearm permits. Most of those people with weapons in Cali dont have permits. They are just lowlife thugs, which there is more of there than there is in Australia. This has nothing at all to do with firearm laws.
- Most murderers in Cali would never even qualify to get a legal permit.CygnusZero4
- The area is in poverty, and is highly populated. You can compare it to Australia.CygnusZero4
- They could ban all guns in the US, the statistics wont change in that area believe me.CygnusZero4

Having a gun to protect yourself isnt normally about fighting against any regime, especially in the US.
There are home invasions in every state every day of every year. People are killed regularly by people breaking in looking to steal. You feel safe knowing this? It's great piece of mind to have a weapon available to protect your family. Most people with registered weapons for protection from home invasions dont exactly go on shooting sprees at movie theaters or wherever else, so you cant lump them all into 1 category.
Ban guns and the people that want to use them to kill people will get them either way, so a band makes no difference. Really not very hard to understand.

A young woman finds herself under duress as man are invading her home. As soon as the first intruder gains access she shoots the fucker dead on the spot. His partner turns and runs away.
Sounds like guns work just fine to me.

Husband shot soccer mom as she chatted on webcam...
Meleanie Hain, 31, made national headlines last year as the mother who carried a loaded, holstered handgun to her 5-year-old daughter's soccer game.- what does her carrying a handgun have to do with family violence? I bet she wishes she had that gun on her.FredMcWoozy

Does anyone actually think that any of the firearms manufactures in the United States really give two fucks who is, and who ain't a registered and legal owner of their beloved weapons?
All the firearms manufactures care about is profits and hiding behind The Second Amendment to sell, sell and sell as many guns and ammo!
