Yeah. Get it fact checked by the British state media. Then it'll be super legit.

As much as this is devastating and could have been worse I don't think people being armed is the answer. Mass shootings such as this are such a rare thing in aus and the UK. Just look at The USA.

Agree arming civilians in Alex’s world is not a good idea , if your a civilian of a country it doesn’t and shouldn’t give you entitlement to firearms unless vetted for valid reasons with back ground checks to do so..if any thing I would say ozzy gun laws are too lax if jihadists can arm themselves. 

 

 

Should governments stop jews having guns? Include as much or as little explanation of your answer as you like as long as the first word is yes or no.

Right. I'm nipping out for some drink. Let's do this!

What's religion got to do with it.

Play along and answer my question first please.

Yes to Jews having guns for self defence, but only if arabs can have nukes (Israel has loads)

Yes. So long as the laws are applied evenly and fairly to all.

 

Only good experience with the UK so the rest is based on that... I reckon would also cover the rest of Europe, and much of the world too.

 

Far safer if very very few people have them and even fewer have anything semi- or fully automatic. I'd also go as far as the Australian politicians are asking, why does anyone generally need more than 1 or 2 - a few very specific cases I would guess but in the UK hunting does not need more than 1 gun, maybe 2, and considering the hunters tell you it is all about skill there is no need to have more than 2 shots before reloading. I reckon.

 

 

However I suspect there will be tears and tantrums before bedtime with some of the views I am predicting that will be put forward tonight and a general acceptance by some to not respect the views of others.

Bear in mind you will never get both sides from the BBC.  They are highly pro-Palestine.

I’ve not met many Arabs or Muslims who have not wanted to wipe Israel off the face of the earth , Has Israel launched any nukes ? Do you not think that maybe Iran would have had a pop by now like all of its neighbours …Them having nukes probably deterred Egypt , Jordon’s and Syria trying to invade again.
