I would imagine that if Britain gave up its democracy and replaced it with an absolute monarchial rule, the United States probably would no longer be allies with Britain and would favor Australian Democracy. However, all of this assuming that the United States hasn't devolved into a radical left communist dictatorship...Trump forbid.Well since this thread is derailed beyond the point of return...
Would it? More specifically, if the US had to choose between Britain and Australia in a war, do you think it would back Australia?
Usually a “well-regulated militia” would know exactly “who owns what? how many and where are they kept*?”But there is nothing in the Second Amendment which implies that gun ownership be kept secret from the government, indeed, just the opposite. Nor is there anything that prohibits requiring liability insurance.
Suicides are a very big chunk of deaths by firearms (67%), while accidental deaths continue to drop.
Japan's high suicide rate (not a "very small" difference) is due to their culture, just like our violence against other people is due to ours. Just as Japan has their high rate of suicide without guns, we would have our high rate of violence without them. And yes, it would be just as tragic. Considering the types of injuries inflicted by the weapons in my previous post, dying from a gunshot sounds tame.
Having lived 65 years in close association with guns, I'll take them in preference to your government "safety".
Do people kill people because they own guns? Yes or no. I don't think anyone has ever been convicted of murder with a motive solely being because they owned a firearm. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. I know most liberals are scared of guns. But they don't have mind control abilities that force people to kill others because of the gun's insatiable thirst for blood.
yeah, but what about all the wanna-be Minute Men who need their pretend army guns to protect themselves against The Gummint?
Load of hooey
If your grandfathers and mine only knew, they would never have fought that war to begin with...
How many people, organizations, and governments wish to eliminate the use of cars, airplanes, motorboats and steam boilers?
That's why gun ownership is protected in the Constitution; despots don't want armed subjects.
Lets be real here. If not for the United States:
1. Russia would invade Eastern Europe.
2. China would invade Taiwan.
3. North Korea would invade South Korea.
4. The middle east would be one giant proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
5. Pakistan and India would be bombing each other back into the stone age.
And while all this things are unfolding, the EU and NATO would be sitting on their butts arguing about who is going to what to resolve the issues.
It is all a part of her "Green New Deal". High speed rail is supposed to replace air travel and all cars are going to be replace by electric vehicles.
Rubbish!Listen, you show me any country that you consider to be "great" and I will show you a country who was inspired, lead, or influenced by American greatness. It is because their people wanted what America already has.

Here is your hooey. A whole load full.Load of hooey

How many guns are in Australia? Now compare that to the number of guns in the United States. Then tell me what's the miraculous plan for the disappearance of all the guns in America? Yes, if you could wave a magic wand that would make all the guns magically disappear off the face your magical earth, the gun problem would be fixed.
And now tell me how effective you think an armed public with 9mm weapons is against tanks, armored vehicles and drones.
The more-weaponized side clearly has the advantage. But if small arms in the hands of a large population are so harmless to despots, why do the despots confiscate small arms from the population as soon as possible?
