umm it appears to me that we should be looking for solutions rather than infighting.
Arming people would not have saved anyone, if you are eating a veggie burger in a fast food place and a suicide bomber decides to blow himself and you up, no firearms will protect you. Guns are a huge problem for America, we do not need or want that in Europe.

If the law says you can carry a gun what's to stop terrorists going anywhere they like and shooting anyone in site. Yes they can and do smuggle guns but it would be a hell of a lot harder to carry around a gun if there were laws preventing it. Thank god I live in Australia and not whe ...[text shortened]... where you think you have the right to carry a gun where you please. You lot are flipping crazy.
Are you new? Terrorists are already going anywhere they like and shooting anyone in site. I am lmao. Case in point - YESTERDAY
I have a right to protect myself and my family. That is why I have a gun. Tons of Americans do not own a gun. That is their choice.
If these maniacs show up in your country, you might feel differently.
I am not the bad guy. I am not flipping crazy.
I didn't kill innocent people on a plane and then weeks later more innocent people in France. Direct your comments at those flipping crazy people.
We have a zillion laws. They are not enforced. We don't need more laws.

What we probably do need is border control.
Wow.....something you've written that I am 100% in agreement with.
Guns are a problem and if you welcome them to you're country you have to live with the consequences. Anyone who thinks having the right to own and carry a gun saves lives is totally kidding themselves.

If these maniacs show up in Australia then the authorities such as the police and army will take care of it. Everyone over here carrying a gun would not help but hinder the problem. I'd probably end up shooting half a dozen bystanders before I got the bad guy. Let the people trained to deal with this kind of threat do their thing and rednecks such as yourself get out of the way and let them do their thing. You guys honestly don't have a clue.

A thought - don't allow either.
No crazed dictators with evil hearts and minds and no terrorists like the unleashed dogs we saw yesterday.
Neither can be tolerated. The freedom loving, sane nations of the world need to stand united.

100% in agreement with that.
But we don't need redneck vigilantes getting in the way of those trained to deal with them. Time to sent a united world army over there and eliminate the threat once and for all.

I am not a redneck and you are dumb for even making such an assumption. I live in a city of several million people not out on a farm. Obviously you go by stereotypes of Americans who carry. Quit believing everything you read on the internet and see on the news.
You have no clue what issues our nation faces nor do I have a clue what Australia's problems are. Your problems are different than ours and require different solutions.
If you'd like, I will enlighten you about why we have so much violence in our culture.
If you lived here, no worries - I would protect your family too if I needed to.

Yes absolutely.
I will have you know I am a trained soldier in the US Army. So good chance I will be involved. I will go so willingly. Not eagerly. I have a family. But willingly.
I also am a citizen living in some troubled times in our country. I carry a gun if I feel the need. No intention of shooting up random people in a theater but you damn well better believe if someone tries it, I will fight back.
It is called SELF DEFENSE. And it is a good thing, my friend.
Originally posted by faithj323 If I was a terrorist in France or USA - naming just two as example - I would have a field day selecting a good place to target where guns are prohibited.

Insane that the bad guys have such an advantage. This PC crap is getting old.
Every time some gun nut has massacred innocent people in the US
( which seems like a weekly event ) the police has dealt with them .
Where are the gun carrying john Wayne's ready to pop them off before the police respond ?

To respond to a situation where terrorists are spraying bullets into a crowded area with automatic weapons would need a person carrying a gun a lot more training than an average soldier .( don't believe the Hollywood films ).
Your first instinct would be to survive ,get your head down and any of your family to safety and secondly your friends .
I would go as far as to say that if you were a specially trained soldier, without back up you would probably do the same unless you had a rapid firing gun tucked under your coat or you had a death wish .
