I mentioned it sickens me when this happens. I talk to God all the time, asking for all madness to stop, especially against children, the poor and elderly.

And what about transexual people?

Really. After Australia banned semi-automatic weapons, there have been only 3 gun massacres since 2000. It's a bit difficult to make progress when one only has a bolt action rifle. Stephen Paddock accounted for 60 dead and over 300 wounded.

 

Australian has a lot of the problems America has, look over there is a two-edged sword.

 

Depressingly, you are right. Americans are addicted to a gun culture. They will keep killing innocents and children,until someone comes along who is strong enough to take their guns away.

 

While I don't like John Howard, IMO it is his best legacy.

 

Tell me, as a gun owner, when there is a gun massacre, do you join in offering your thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims?

 

 

Former Prime Minister John Howard didn't do much in his time as PM 

There is a shooting weekly in Sydney, shooting deaths every month  ,last week again involving criminal gangs ,so they get the guns .

it's obvious that crime gangs can access guns

As already said, Domestic violence is one of the mainstays of Thai TV - and only the most serious events make it to TV.

 

I was subjected to Domestic violence by my ex-wife in the UK, mainly verbal. I put up with it because she also subjected my daughter to it and to a lesser degree my son. No way was i going to leave them alone with their mother to raise them alone. She Tried to stab me once and also grabbed the steering wheel of the car and tried to crash the car once (while the kids were in the back). Eventually while listening to yet another verbal assault about my relatives, i finally slapped her. Fight ensued, it was a draw. But she realised i was not going to be her punch bag any more.

 

A few years later, once my son left home for University, I left and came to Thailand.

Absolutely DV is all genders not just a man being the offender 

I even seen it in Thailand same sex violence among farang guys and their Thai boyfriends ,farang guys and ladyboys

Personal opinion on guns in the private sector.

Nothing wrong with owning a Legal gun to protect oneself and ones family and for hunting if there's a place to hunt.

But being the stupid Governments laws that's not possible in every country ,that's one reason that there are so many Illegal guns in the community Not just the Crims 

I one can't protect his home and Family there's a need for a Better Government and changing the law.

There always be some people that Misuse a gun and other weapons for the wrong reason  .

One can use an axe to open up a intruder from A hole to Breakfast but a gun would be more safe to use (not for the intruder).

 

Digger you need to change it back to normal size text mate before your post is deleted 👍👍

Either they were not very good friends or you are not.   I don't block friends even if they are antivaxxers, believe in god, thing the world is flat etc   It gets harder to make new friends as you get older, so why would anyone block a friend for posting everyday trivial.  I actually like knowing what my overseas friends are doing in the day to day lives, we used to see each other maybe everyday and now some of them I haven't seen in almost 40 years, but we've staying in contact and stayed friends.  

 

Great post 

But please change with the times so to speak and take Tik Tok videos to send to them

I'm not trying to be weird here but recently I have been back into "mooning" that is pulling my pants down and flashing my bum.

I sent these to 8 friends via WhatsApp that I hadn't seen in years ,the real friends loved it and sent smileys back whilst the so called friends blocked me !

Obviously you have no empathy for these poor misguided children ☹️

Sadly young criminals / children particularly in Australia are increasing their use of knife crime with a elderly woman stabbed to death by youths last week in Brisbane with carjacking 

So I'm glad they found it difficult to get guns 

I mean the racists saying send them back to Africa/Sudan  because they stabbed the lady in a car park shopping centre is not the answer,these children need to be guided in life particularly if they are from war torn countries such as Sudan ,and shown empathy and compassion

That could happen in Australia too though couldn't it 

Obviously can't happen in the UK the cops have no guns! Ridiculous 

I actually sent an email to the UK police union telling them to get with the times and campaign for their police members to carry guns !!!!

“I'm just wondering when the Second Amendment will stop killing American children.
 

More nonsense from the progressives.

Sick People kill children,not guns! There are millions and millions of gun owners who own guns responsibly.

 

Over the years I ‘ve seen your opinions!

Me thinks Ive seen enough, congratulations you just became a new participant to my ignore list.

Absolutely

I mean it's the same with dogs ,there is I'm sure more dogs attacking people than gun owners

Every time there is a mass shooting, particularly at a school, gun sales skyrocket. What has that done to solve the problem of mass shootings?

 

Why are semi-automatic weapons still available in America, when their only purpose is to kill multiple people as quickly and efficiently as possible? Would a serious hunter use one for game?

 

Why is a weapon bought for protection far more likely to inadvertently kill children playing with unsecured weapons, or be the instrument of choice in a suicide?

 

If a weapon is securely stored, what use is it for protection? Do you think home invaders will politely wait while you retrieve it?

 

I'm just wondering when the Second Amendment will stop killing American children.

 

I don't think in some States in America they have to secure it at home , I think they can wear it on their hip even in the home 

So I have seen YouTube videos of people knocking on doors in the middle of the night and the home owner has a gun in his hip

You are playing semantics. It IS for fun and personal pleasure; "The Thrill of the Hunt" etc. You said yourself you hunt and kill (and maybe often only injure some poor creature that then dies a lingering death). Only sometimes take home the spoils.

 

I experience the outdoors that don't require killing anything.

My favorite holiday for many years.

Kangaroos can control their gestation cycle, putting embryos into dormancy in times of drought. Their populations explode when there is heavy rain to bring up fresh feed.

I learned a lot of things in outback Australia most city slickers never get to know.

Yes as a City Slicker I have never been to the Outback of Australia

And with their high crime never will ( Alice Springs) 

But may I ask , if you nowadays as a experienced bushman carry a gun for safety in those areas ?

Alice Springs, etc 

Would you consider it ?

No, guns, besides those for hunting and target shooting, are for protection against weak people who can't fight, or want what you have. The same as here with 5 against 1, and carrying machetes and sticks.

Unfortunately I know in Australia some elderly are carrying knives especially in the country towns so it's SUBSTITUTED for carrying something else for which they are not trained for

I do, and have won many times, but never more than $1000 USD. Here  no luck yet. Trust me, Texas isn't like what you might have heard about it. It's like I mentioned. Of course there is crime, but mostly in Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio .

Your probably right ,it's probably much worse in Australia with our lax leftist laws 

I would prefer to walk in the Country towns of Texas at night than in the Country towns of Australia

But NOT just the thrill of shooting / killing animals then walking away.

 

I saw active service in the VN conflict and saw many human being killed, maimed, lose their limbs, dreadfully disfigured etc.

 

I returned to OZ and never again touched and type of firearm and I never will. 

And you were only 19 too right 😂

Your opinion might change if you were a station owner or environmentalist trying to control introduced vermin such as rabbits, feral cats, pigs, and foxes. Or an excess population of kangaroos eating pasture his stock needed.

 

I always ate edible game I shot, or fed it to the station dogs. They enjoyed fresh meat a lot more than their staple diet of dry dog food.

 

Rule #1 on all the stations I hunted on was no shooting of birds, except ducks for eating, and crows. The crows were almost always too smart to get hit anyway.

 

You were in the outback of Australia?

Too many kangaroo 🦘

It's never a good idea to assume you know much about another country without spending a lot of time there. I lived in Texas for 32 years, never carried a handgun, sold guns for a living, and never saw any crime where someone used one. Daily, driving many miles, night and day, small towns, big towns and country, filling up on gas at night, never had any trouble whatsoever.

You Sir should buy a lottery ticket !,😅

its basic  human nature for gods sake     . When women meet socially  they spend a lot of time telling each other how pretty they are, they don't actually mean it , its just something they say which helps them bond,  Likewise when men meet, a considerable amount of time is taken up by taking the Pi$$ out of each other, they don't mean it either , its all part of bonding.

                   A sense of humour is essential for enjoying life as is a lack of Ego and  a relatively thick skin.  There are too many offended snowflakes around these days.  one has to learn how to take it as well as how to give it.  And to hear somebody on here suggesting reporting things to moderators is nothing short of pathetic.   We all left school a long time ago and the days of running to a teacher sobbing with ones hands in the air ended more than 50 years ago 

Love it !

You will get posters on here who like to dish it out but if you dish it back they are offended !

Grew up on a farm where we had alot rifles and guns, and available for me since 12 years old, and could go out and shoot whenever I wanted, but never owned a gun myself. 

 

If you feel the need for a gun to protect yourself, you living the wrong place! 

 

Most people have no need for a gun!

Absolutely ain't that the truth .

But ...I guess all.of us can't live in wealthy areas as us Academics

We unfortunately have the peasants and lower class uneducated among us !
