Aussie and UK brahs - your views on gun control?

[Frizzel]

It seems as though the majority of the US brahs are very anti gun control and a lot of them are self proclaimed gun nuts.

How about you guys? What are your thoughts on gun control? Do you wish that they were not as strict in your respective countries?

[TommyLee]

I'm fukkin glad guns are banned.
As much as i would love to own one, there are too many idiots i wouldn't trust with a potato gun in this country. I like not getting shot.

[Rupert IV]

Never been a situation where I've thought: fuk, I wish I had a gun right now. But I've been in plenty of situations where i've thought: fuk, thanks jesu these people don't have guns.

[SIKHUNT]

fkin repped, every american i have heard defending their rights to a gun refer to the 2nd amendment, mmm ever considered the amendment was wrong?

edit: strong reps, pretty 1337 lulz

[danielMSF]

I'm glad guns are banned and I would strongly oppose a move to make the laws any less lax.

We have so many fewer gun deaths than the US.

I know it's too late for them to make them illegal. We are lucky no one has them here.

[.horizons.]

wish they were a little more relaxed in NSW, legally aquiring a licence/cat H permit sounds really tedious.

Guns should not be banned but a lot of Governments are full of pussies. For shame.

I'm all for gun control, I think the UK gun Laws are spot on. In this day and age there is just no need for average Joe to walk around with a gun.

less gun control = more gun crime

[eskyhoneybeev2]

i do acknowledge that in america IT IS a lot more dangerous to live period, and it would be pretty much impossible to phase out gun ownership effectively, so in that regard they have a point, but still, they would be in a better place without them

They got a violent society they need them. UK got a violent society too they need them.

[J3remy]

Outlaw guns and then only the outlaws will have guns

Great idea!

you a fuking retard brah?

america is a dangerous country precisely BECAUSE so many idiots have access to guns that regular people start thinking they need them to defend themselves

if noone had guns noone would get shot

[_Watson_]

I'm happy with no guns. If I wanted to shoot someone I couldn't because I literally don't know a single person who has a gun, infact I don't think I even know someone who knows someone who has a gun (srs)

And if someone breaks into my house with a gun he's a lot less likely to shoot me because he's already presuming I don't have a gun.

Whereas if it was in the U.S there's a good chance the home owner would own a gun and would therefore the burglar would be more likely to shoot at the home owner.


All I'm saying is things are fine the way they are.

[Jay3]

2002 US gun murders 9,369 .......uk 14 (so about 70 if similar population size)

i think i'll stick with the UK gun laws

[ScottishBrah]

Seeing the video of the 8 year old kid shooting himself with an Uzi just reinforces my stance on it. People shouldn't be allowed to have guns fullstop, UNLESS they live in a place with bears tearing through their homes. In which case they must have been intensively trained, have no criminal records and must pay an annual fee to upkeep their gun liscence.

Nobody in britain has any reason to own a gun, there's hardly any hunting here. I can't comment on Australia.

Didn't America prohibit alcohol last century? People still found a way bro. Just saying.

[PenisWatcher]

im probably gonna get flamed for this, but i wish the US had stricter gun control (yes im american)

[ScottishBrah]

Get the phuck out of here man.

Guns would make things more violent, we don't need guns r-tard, we don't need any weapons, WE DON'T NEED VIOLENCE.

In Britain, it's against the law to carry a knife. Nobody should ever be carrying weapons.

[EclipseTT]

what about New Zealand brahs? we are allowed lots of guns here. so long as you are a upstanding citizen within the law you can own pretty much anything you want.


And i love that.

[frasersteen]

*******s

Anyone who has a gun gets locked up, helps lock up the outlaws.

Gun laws in the UK are spot on, if you want a gun for sport you can get a gun for sport. If you want guns for collecting you have to have them made safe. What other reason could you legitimately have for wanting a gun?

Some of the crims do have guns but it is extremely rare, a shooting will almost always make national news.

[falconXR]

I don't need one thus I do not have the desire to own one. If I were into hunting or sports shooting, then yes I would buy one, it is not as difficult as you would think to own one here. However not every tom, dick and fuknuckle owns one here so the majority of people dont feel the necessity to own one for "protection" either.

[MiKey4]

I love shooting guns, it's incredibly fun, but not worth it if it means all the bellends also get one.

this one right here.

[colbo]

I think the gun laws go too far - I had my pistol taken off me in '98. I still shoot airguns at a local club.

It annoys me that a majority are penalised for the actions of a minority.

[SlippyFist]

itt: brits and aussies think all americans walk around with a six shooter on their hip at all times.

Yea true, I don't know the exact rules on owning guns because I went shooting at a farm where they own a load of guns, you just can't take them away with you.

That seemed fine to me but it was only shotguns. I don't know if you can do the same with rifles or pistols.
