[quote=Anonymous]Well, since you insist, I'll pick the post apart point by point

-I'm not a cowboy. Although I have owned horses and do ride, I ride hunter-jumper, not western.

-about 9,000 ARE murdered by someone else using a firearm here annually. In a country of 320,000,000 people. And roughly 7,000 of that 9,000 figure are criminals killing other criminals. We need to focus on eliminating the remaining 2,000 innocent lives from that number, rather than the 7,000 criminals.

- if you remove JUST the cities of Chicago, New Orleans, Oakland, Baltimore and Gary, Indiana from the statistical sample, the firearm murder rate for the US drops below most countries in the world, to being on par with those countries frequently used as examples for gun ban justifications.

-a trained firearm user is FAR safer from criminally inflicted harm, both in the home and outside it, than a otherswise similar, unarmed person. If guns didn't offer a considerable measure of protection against physical harm, police officers wouldn't carry them.

- a black powder musket, in my opinion, is typically lacking in both sufficient power and accuracy, to be relied to consistently kill an Elk quickly and humanely. Far better to use a more modern rifle and calber better suited for large game. Personally, I'd suggest at least a .30-06 for Elk. .300 WinMag is an even better choice.

-WWF changed their name years ago to WWE. And I'm not a wrestling fan anyway. Although I did write a paper in one of my Psych undergrad classes comparing televised wrestling with the Globe Theatre. The groundlings for both venues would've gotten along swimmingly, btw.

-I wish you were living back in Sydney, too. Because that's where you belong. Not here. You're a Subject, not a Citizen. It's ok, America isn't for everyone. Please, consider going back home.

-lastly, I'll refrain from a "fuck you, too".... because frankly, that's very low brow.

G'day. [/quote]
