Could be worse. We could be all shooty like the septics.

Could be better, we could have old-fashioned fist-fights like the good old days. Mind you with the new one punch laws you're better off stabbing people.

Stabby? What stabby? This is simply the colloquial greeting favoured by many of our city dwellers.

You'll often find folks give a hearty "how ya goin cunt?" with a quick flick to the ribs to help cement the greeting.

It's not stabby, it's mateship.

Stabby knives are the Apex of assault weaponry

unlike the states, we don't have a second amendment right to bear arms, and since they took most of our good guns 20 years ago, it only leaves knives and clubs :(

I know right? The lack of school shootings these days is appalling. Where's our guns lads? What'd you do with them?!

the nutter in france a few months ago demonstrated that you can take more innocent people out with a truck than you can with a gun

What is the point you are trying to make here?

INeedACuddle•

the point i was making is that an absence of guns may stop shootings, but if someone wants to kill innocent people, there are plenty of other methods available at their disposal

Our public service folks have enough on their hands to deal with. As seems the case for America we have no significant mental health system, means guns are not a good idea.

You can own guns in Australia, just need to do some study and pass the mental health history test. I can't have a gun because I've history for depression for example and I'm fine with that since I don't need a gun in my line of work.

i grew up on a farm, and learned shooting AND gun safety at age seven

by age fifteen, i had a licence, a ruger 10/22 semi auto and a mossberg 12g pump action

i lost them both to the buyback because by then i was working in the city full time and it made more sense to accept what they were offering for the guns, which was significantly more than i paid for them, rather than spend a lot of money on floor mounted safes to store weapons i very rarely used, and on the rare occasion i wanted to go down shooting, i could use the old man's double barrel shotty or bolt action rifle

i much preferred my own guns because i looked after them much better than the farm guns, but it didn't pass the 'practicality test' to keep them
