I would never attempt to change your minds down under about guns, if it works for you then fine. We have constitutional protections here and they should all be protected. I also choose to believe that the vast majority of people, Americans at least, are not cunts and are responsible enough to safely carry weapons. As far as the mass shootings we had in this country being done by US citizens it doesn't matter, they were still Isis related or directed and committed by radicals of the Islamic faith. It does not matter if they got the weapons legally or not, in this country our rights and privileges remain until we do something to have them removed like commit a crime. We should never take rights away from anyone just because they might commit a crime at some time in the future. Should we take away someone's right to free speech because they may say something in the future that would hurt someone's feelings? Why should everyone in the country be forbidden from purchasing a firearm just because some minority of people use them in crimes or mass shootings? I am ok with anyone who has not been convicted of a felony and of legal age being able to buy a gun and even carry that gun as long as I am able to do so as well. The issues should never be about the implement used to kill someone it should be about what caused that person to commit the act. The reason some people blame the guns is because it is easier to do that than to take on the actual cause of the action like religious terrorism or psychosis or alcoholism or whatever drove the person to do it.

Our election process seems to be very important to the media which is why it is such a spectacle and yes we do get tired of it and all the media's bias in their reporting. This year is worse probably because of all the "firsts" and all the vitriol both candidates engender.
