If he is renting I hope he gets a discount. He certainly earned one.
You can't? Based on the reporting we get down under, blowing people away who happen to be on your property is good sport in the USA, even if they are kids running away, or even when they turn out to be a family member.
It is purposely misreported by left wing media outlets who dont care about personal safety but rather their foolish anti-gun agenda...
Different environment here in Australia. Twenty years ago we had the Port Arthur massacre and following that all the states and territories got together to pass uniform national gun laws. We actually have more guns now than we did then, but less gun crime, and less crime generally. It has also been 20 years since our last massacre. You can't own a firearm for self defence. Only cops and security guards have them for that reason here.
It would be good if in US they would do something about it, instead they are doing silly things like extensive background checks or arming school teachers.
Some of the things they are doing are silly I will agree.
Yes, so everyone gave up their personal freedom because the ruling class terrorized the plebs into giving up their rights. Its very easy for the elite who pay for protection and live in safe areas to preach gun control. We have had worse massacres here. Doesn't matter. Each individual is, in theory at least, granted permission to protect themselves. Its also important to hyper analyse the statistics as to where gun bans actually reduce crime as the stats are heavily doctored and manipulated. The problem here is that they make it WAY to difficult to carry a weapon in many states and dont do enough to combat true crime.
Trump promised to build a "beautiful wall" that should take care of one issue
LMAO! The thanks button just wouldn't do in this case!
I can see you feel strongly about the issue but Australia's gun homicide rate of 0.14 per 100,000 vs the US at 3.43 per 100,000 doesn't suggest the way we do it Down Under compromises our safety in any meaningful way. There was never any equivalent to the US second amendment in Australia. But like I said it is a different environment down here, both geographically, and politically.
And historically, economically, demographically, etc. We could apple and orange our way all night and day, I'd say.
That's how stats lie. You cannot simply compare gun homicides specifically and you certainly cannot simply compare it the the US rate and come to these conclusions. You need to compare homicides in general regardless of method of death as well as the change before and after the law was enacted and look at Australia only. The truth is that the murder rate was extremely low before the ban and didnt change much after the ban. In fact in several years AFTER the ban homicides in Australia ROSE. The VERY slight decreases in some years are in line with decreases in other countries and are a result of economic and other forces. Bad math and statistics is how the politicians fear monger to the public. In today's internet age its fairly easy to find the truth.
