    Don't understand why these 'Christians' are raising a monument to the ten commandments, placing all that emphasis on those rules. I'm an atheist, but was raised as a strict christian. Now if I'm not mistaken Christ made it very clear, the ten commandments are null and void, as they couldn't be adhered to by the Israelites in the first place, he was the new covenant. It seems to me they can't even get their own beliefs right.

    They wont because one is a "nail gun" the other is obviously a "gun" and intended as a weapon. Yet more deflection from the real argument.

    Nail guns are designed NOT to be portable or as weapons. In the UK this was legislated into the manufacture of said nails guns because, criminals / builders / criminal builders / builder criminals were using them to hold up banks. Luckily we are not awash weapons otherwise I guess a AR14 would have done the job.

    Geeze, Australia doesn't have this or that amendment to the constitution - Guys we ARE NOT a state of the USA. We have our own laws, and currently (legal) gun ownership is restricted. Frankly I believe that Australia is generally a safer place since the Howard government restricted legal gun ownership. Yes I know I'll be modded down and adversely commented on by those of you in the US who have the "right to bear arms", but frankly I don't give a flying fuck about your rights - I'm only interested in my rights and the safety of me and my family. So yes 3D printed guns should be banned here in oz. And I know that I'l get the storm of "yes but the crims and bikie gangs can get guns". Yes they can, and as far as I'm concerned they can go and shoot each other.

    Yup same goes for here too in the UK. Getting sick and tired of libertarian, gun loving, rednecks. Whose right to 'bear arms' has been twisted to their own selfish, self centered aims. The sheer stupidity exhibited by SOME Americans is embarrassing.

    As you have pointed out the excuses fly as to why we need even more guns, I've heard it here today

    .

    It's not about the ability of criminals or undesirables to get their hands on guns, it's about the fucked up relationship the USA in general has with guns. We have legal restricted gun ownership here, as a result less deaths caused by guns. FACT, period.

    Good guys with guns kill bad guys with guns

    So yes I'm with you, don't want stupid pieces of plastic that can kill, ARE designed to kill. The sooner this, thick as pig shit, segment of the USA gets that into their stupid fucking heads the better.

    I most certainly did pass my history A-levels thank you very much. So I take it you are ignoring the English Civil War as an example of other places, countries attempting to overthrow tyranny. That by the way led to even more tyranny. The direct ancestry to our present queen says what? Can't see your point. My point still stands.

    Ah, I see. You were actually meaning to imply they'd be ashamed of how we conduct ourselves because we don't happen to agree with you?

    No, I could not care one bit whether you agree with me or not.

    Maybe our system is correct, maybe it's not. Either way, we're not going to pay your opinion about how we should live the slightest tinker's dam of attention. Instead we'll talk with each other, our communities, our neighbors, and we'll fumble our way forward into the future together.

    aren't they all, I'm fully aware of that. I'm not judging your system, but the judgement, wisdom of you as a nation, as a whole. To the rest of the word it seems glaringly obvious what needs to happen.Of course that is entirely up to you

    If you really think that an unarmed populace can quickly organize to resist an armed oppressor, then you are living in a state of utter delusion.

    Sorry there are plenty of examples either way, where this happens. Very recent one's, even ongoing one's. You are just cherry picking

    Lol, already have read it. In fact I grew up in Catalonia, I used to play in the civil war defences that still exits by the coast in Vilanova i la Geltrú, next to Sitges, which from memory (read it a long time ago) is mentioned in Orwells diary.

    I know and have talked to people wo were personally involved in that tradegy

As for communism,get over it, most of the rest of the world already has, a long time ago. Now socialism, you really need to understand what it is, really for some Americans like you I can't see you actually understand what it is. I've said it before, America is a self centered nation, the rights of the individual seems to be top priority, is sort of goes like: "My right to own lot's and lots of guns, in case 'they' come get me. Fuck everyone else's rights, fuck the kids...blah blah ". There are some sections of the American populace that actually believe that they are a superior nation. Your not, you are NOT SPECIAL. You are not the instigators of all things good. Quite frankly we are getting sick and tired of you, you give the sensible one's in your fine nation a bad name.

    Of course only an American would think that they are unique in overthrowing tyranny. Whilst it is true that America was founded as a direct result of this you ARE NOT unique and special. For example we here in Britain; The English Civil War, wich actually resulted in the execution of our king in an attempt to curtail tyranny. Perhaps you forgot about that one. We also find some sections of the American populace self centered, selfish. Perhaps reason you have so many troubles is this idea of Libertarianism, essentially the idea of, "my rights first, fuck everybody else's rights". I honestly think your founding fathers is they could see what you have become as a nation would disown you. This idea that an unarmed populace couldn't fight a tyrannical government is pretty weak to be honest. For every example that you give I can give a counter. For example The Spanish Civil War. Unarmed civilians very quickly organised into armed "militia". So your populace is having to endure slaughter, innocent kids etc... Because you as a nation seem to have this paranoid belief that the jack boots are going to kick your doors down at "3AM" and arming yourselves to the teeth with little of no regulation ("My rights, me, me, me") is the answer. It obviously isn't working. Time to evolve and change?
