"Are gun-owners paranoid, or are you naive? "
Paranoid? No, certainly not. only the American ones. Are you paranoid? Absolutely, judging by the drivel you've been posting about guns, and trying to make relevant in Oz.
Am I naive about guns? . I like guns. I spent 2 years in the army as a grunt X medic. Rated marksman with 7.62 SLR ,proficient with F1 sub machine gun (piece of shit) M60 machine gun, armalite, Karl Gustav anti tank, M26 and M36 grenades. Have never handled pistols.
The very thought of large numbers of civilians owning guns scares the shit out of me---as group, people with guns are so fucking STUPID! I think US gun related stats prove that point. I do not
own a firearm, and have never allowed one on my property.
To avoid misunderstanding; I am not a vet and did not serve in a combat zone.
I say again, Australia is not the US.
"That maybe there are some good reasons to own guns?"
Absolutely; if you are say a policeman, a member of the armed forces or say farmer who needs to shoot foxes and 'roos, or even if you belong to a gun club, and all guns are kept at the club in locked safes. (that's the law here ) If you are simply an ordinary person living an OZ city, no you don't need a firearm . I say again: our stats for gun related deaths prove my claim..
The claim of needing a gun for protection is complete bullshit. Even with advanced weapons training, it is exceedingly difficult to actually shoot another person**. Joe Sixpack is more likely to freeze, shit himself and shoot the wife.
I don't give rat's arse what you do in the US.
Bored now, nothing more to say to yo on this issue. I will agree to differ.
**Don't believe that? A simple fact known since WW2 at least. Easy to verify if you're interested.
