So... how do you reconcile that with the fact that far more people die in your country due to firearms accidents or domestic violence than at the hands of "stranger murderers"? Just askin, cos on the face of it, it looks like you might not have considered all the facts.

Really? Define "mentally unstable"? Now, what about stable but stupid, or stable but irresponsible, or stable but entirety of firearms safety knowleddge comes from watching Rambo movies people? Not this again... simple numbers... out of the several hundred thousand instances of people breaking...

If we have a choice between people being stabbed, and people being shot... you don't think we should go for the one where people are getting stabbed?

Precisely the same reason they ask you to register your car and dog.

No one is questioning a right to self defence. We're questioning a right for all and sundry to own weapons designed to kill with little or no appropriate oversight. Burglary then. Killing an intruder as a first response isn't my idea of a "right", nor is it "self defence". Maintaining your macho...

Strongly agree.

Quite so. The idea that a legal ability to own and use firearms should be any easier than, say, the legal ability to own and use a motor vehicle strikes me as ludicrous. Anyone who really wants to be a responsible firearms owner should have no problem completing an appropriate safety course and...

Some would suggest that putting the unemployed in work camps after 12 weeks looking for work is hardly synonymous with Christ's idea of "giving to the poor". Heck, my current job had a 12 MONTH selection process, from the time I sent in the application to the time I recieved my final letter of...

I think the clear flaw in this logic is the implied claim that since morals exist, God exists. Show me a moral...

There are inadequate checks and balances in place for all citizens to own firearms currently. Address the safety issues, and I'm all for universal firearms ownership. Demanding universal right to own firearms BEFORE the safety issues are addressed is the textbook example of "cart before the...

Then maybe you should have looked at the thread title. Indeed. Virtually all of which is by Muslims against other Muslims. Easily 99% of Islamic extremist violence has utterly nothing to do with the United States... hence I find Americans claiming that terrorism is all about them to be...

So none of you evilutionists can adequately explain horseshoe crabs huh? You loose!

In the US? Dozens? I'll make you a bet... if you can come up with more examples of Wahabist extremist issue motivated terrorist violence in America since 9/11 than I can come up with examples of non Islamic extremist issue motivated terrorist violence, I will donate $100 to the charity of your...

I'm not talking about a sensible defence policy... I'm talking about the continued shreiking about the sky being falling coming from the general populace. Army Man 83, Clirus, HisDaughterJen, BigMouthNanna, FloatingAxe, Nadiine, are some of the posters I know who have said such things...

Check my post log, I'm on record as supporting the guy's right to burn them. His right to do so being protected as free speech doesn't make it any less of a irational kneejerk responce though. I'm pretty sure that is the intent of most flag burners, yes.

And the Birmingham clinic bombing represents what a not insignificant number of right to lifers would like to see or make happen repeatedly. Doesn't make it ok to extrapolate the views of the looney few to the entire religion, nor to make a seige mentality and paranoia the national protocol...

This is PRECISELY the sort of BS I'm talking about. People quite happy to equate all Muslims, everywhere, in an ongoing fashion, with a one off event. 9/11 was awful. But its over. Quit living in the past. Not all Muslims were into it, nor does it represent "Islamic vitriol". It is no more...

So thats your response? People somewhere vilify Christianity, therefore its OK for Americans to vilify Muslims?
