No amount of conspiracy theories as to who what or why can say otherwise.

Gun possesion = life in prison.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28805634


Would that rule apply to police, soldiers, security guards, and the newly armed railway ticket inspectors?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30376378


No because they are screened and usually not psychotic, and they need to uphold the law.

You can talk all day long about illegal possession etc, crooks getting hold of guns, selling illegally etc, custom made, the whole deal, but life in prison is a massive deterrent. A very small percentage will put their entire life at risk over a weapon. They will decide its not worth the risk.

Vehicles can.....So can planes and explosions. If someone is intents on destruction. I'm sure they will find a medium to do it.

Re: Guns need to be banned - period.
Murderers commonly receive life sentences for their acts that doesn't stop people from doing it. OP, honestly I can understand what you wish the world to be, a world without guns, violence, murder. I wish there was just peace too. The problem is we all live in a modern society, yet we all are wired with 50000 year old software. Human beings are animals. Some are just more likely to follow the rules set forth by society than others. I would rather be able to defend myself from the criminals and insane among us than not.

IMO gun possession = the ability of the individual law abiding citizen to potentially defend himself and others against criminal assault.

Currently in Australia, only high ranking politicans and public office holders and those wealthy enough to afford personal body guards have this ability.

Perhaps, if so armed, the female news reporter who was recently kidnapped and murdered by two males might have had a chance.

Two immediate critical flaws come to mind with your brilliant plan


1) Anyone that wants to see his enemy put away in prison for life only needs to set him up by tossing a gun on his property and phoning in a tip.

2) Making things a "life sentences" willy nilly inspires fanatical, suicidal resistance from desperate people who have nothing left to lose.

Planes.. thats why you have strong airport security.

I as an Australian, I hope the American people stand against the call for a bans on guns. Do we need even MORE laws to dictate how we live our lives?

Cars cause more harm than guns. Should we ban cars too? To save the life of just one child would be worth it.

This sort of retarded thinking is where the mind of the OP is at. And it is flawed thinking. Their heart is in the right place, but their mind has slipped down the spinal cord and is firmly lodged in the buttocks.

Some Aussies are fuckin tarded. It isn't the gun that kills people, it's the person. In places where gun laws aren't applicable they have less deaths because they carry guns and can respond instantaneously.

Not sure what you are saying. We banned guns in the UK in the late 90's, and its amazing since then we haven't had any gun crime at all. No gang related shootings, no bank or security van hold ups, no police shooting innocent electricians, its brilliant, after all if guns are banned then no one can get hold off them.

You just keep digging yourself deeper into a hole of your own retardation.

1) That's just convenient hand waving on your part. If you were actually responsible for running a government and had this attitude, you'd simply lose power to the groups that could successfully systemitize the tactics which subvert your ham fisted policies. If you simply say "too bad, ignore the obvious setups and sally forth with life sentences for everybody" you'd end up with a failed state.

2) Nope, you already agreed that criminals have no problem obtaining guns through smuggling or shop fabrication. You already said that your brilliant plan of draconian penalty would simply be a deterrent which would prevent the act in and of itself. This is invalid and you're not making any argument to address that.
