There's no gang violence in Australia?
I'm really asking, I don't know anything about Australia

ok, lets assume your right and i dont. so how about you tell me how walmart was losing money by stocking that particular(and very popular) gun?
they have to pay for the product they have to pay to ship it they have to pay for a building to sell it in they have pay to have self space where stuff that sells should go, They have to pay someone to dust them off maintain them someone to sell them to no one. they have to pay for lighs to light them climate control accountants to keep track of how much money these are hemmeraging should I go on?

There's gang violence, sure, but it's never happened upon me or anyone I know. Australia had 13 mass shootings between 1979 and 1996, then after the Port Arthur Massacre the gun laws changed, zero gun massacres.

That's because you're an NRA stooge. You don't know how to think for yourself and you're completely susceptible to PR campaigns and propaganda.

I don't want to take that risk. We need firearms, because criminals will always have them.
Holy shit. With what constantly occurs in America, you still want guns? I live in Australia. We have not had one shooting massacre since 1996. And after that the gun laws were changed. Problem solved.
bans guns and then points out how its solved all "shootings" Lets talk about why did you guys ban guns? what about all the mass shootings/murder after 2007 your ignoring?

you're aware that walmart has to do that for every single product... right? do you think every other item is manufactured magically inside the store, and nobody has to ship it, or stock it, or acouunt for it? only guns?
people do buy guns at walmart. believe it or not. just because me (or you? i dunno) wouldnt buy a gun at walmart doesnt mean nobody does
and its not like walmart orderes hundreds of guns all at once there arent 150 AR-15s in some back room at walmart, there are 2 or 3. and when one sells, they order a new one. its that simple.
if walmart made no money off of guns, they wouldnt have been selling them(and still doing so) for the last few decades or however long theyve been around.

yea sure okay. i don't even follow the NRA. let alone own a gun. I'm a former Veteran that realizes the importance of guns. if those in authority are the only ones that have it, power tends to corrupt.

Today I learned I could have bought an AR-15 in a walmart trash shop if only I lived in the Best Country.  Oh well, time to eat some heterosexual kale I guess.

North Korea has elections with a near 100% turnout. but is that doing anything for them?
having elections alone doesnt work. there need to be other freedoms or else its all a sham

Yes, some shit still happens, but look at the numbers. You found 4 events that happened in Australia. Look at this article. There's so many, it would take me ages to count them. If you can't see that, you really not worth discussing with.

You know what oeoe who use guns to remove people from power are called? Terrorists and assasins? Is that what you think Makes Americans free, that politicians are afraid of terrorism and assassination. The fact that Americans have so many guns is why we are slipping towards being a police state.
The worst part is the people who want guns the most are the ones who are least mentally capable of taking care to use them rationally. Generally they are the types that think it's cool to walk into a McDonalds with a semiautomatic strapped to their back or shoot themselves while protecting a gun store from Muslim customers.

What are you babbling on about? North Korea is a total authoritarian theocracy.
We have a constitution. One that looks very unfavorably on those who would rise up against our elected government. Treason is the only crime listed in the document and insurrection is the only way your constitutional rights can legally be taken from you.

So unless you have total success you shouldn't do anything. No point in making things better. If you can't have total perfection then why even bother?

So you can't understand the difference between real democracy and a authoritarian police state? You must be the easiest person to scam in the world. Can I have your phone number?

First of all your comparing apples and oranges here. Your also looking at a very small portion of the whole picture.
