I want you to try and imagine an America in which you had no NEED to own or carry a weapon.

Absolutely!!!

• It would be an America in which 2000 years of recorded history, of governments oppressing their people, worldwide, would be ignored.
• It would ignore the history of the last century, in which civilized governments (Germany, for example, was considered the pinnacle of technologic and sociologic evolution at that time), committed genocide numbering in the millions.
• It would disregard the many assaults, rapes, and murders committed with weapons other than firearms, leaving those who are weaker, older, and less physically-fit to be prey for those who are a little stronger.

• In short, it would be a world where unicorns shat skittles across beautiful, rainbow-adorned skies.

Note for you, Fred Nerks: Unicorns do not eat normal horse-food. They require passion-fruits and apricots. Also, buy twice as many salt-licks as usual for them, as opposed to the requirements of equines.

You’re nuts. The suggestion was that now we had a conservative landslide result in the Queensland State elections, this might translate into an over-all Australian conservative win at the next Federal Elections, which might very well be the case...and as a result, you and another freeper suggested that we might then ‘be able to get back our guns’ -

And I am trying to point out that the gun buy-back scheme was instigated by a conservative government to start with, and that Australia shares nothing by way of gun culture with the US.

I then provided a link to the relevant statistics, in which you will see that the majority of gun deaths in Australia are suicide and accident, which have dropped nearly in half since the new rules and safety measures were implemented.

And you write to me some nonsense about what to feed a unicorn and what governments have been up to for 2000 years?
Reminds me of nothing so much as a chook running around with it’s head cut off.
