As I read all the home invasion and rape stories from one newspaper in Sydney, Australia, I felt like I was watching a really bad sci-fi movie where people were helpless victims that had only one option, dial 0-0-0 and wait for the protection to arrive and ask what the already missing perp looked like.
There were hundreds more stories just like the ones I posted.
These knife powered home invasions don't happen every day in the US because the homeowners would blow them away. The Australian rapists and burglars just pick a target and enter their home to do their business, knowing full well they likely will never be caught.
Even Australia’s Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research acknowledges that the gun ban had no significant impact on the amount of gun-involved crime:
Between 1995 and 2007, Australia and the United States — where no gun-ban exists — both experienced similar decreases in murder rates:
Australia saw a 31.9 percent decrease; without a gun ban, America’s rate dropped 31.7 percent.
In 2006, assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent. Sexual assault — Australia’s equivalent term for rape — increased 29.9 percent.
Overall, Australia’s violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent. At the same time, U.S. violent crime decreased 31.8 percent: rape dropped 19.2 percent; robbery decreased 33.2 percent; aggravated assault dropped 32.2 percent.
Australian women are now raped over three times as often as American women.
So, if the USA follows Australia’s lead in banning guns, it should expect a 42 percent increase in violent crime, a higher percentage of murders committed with a gun, and three times more rape.
No, actually they want to push people's buttons and get their jollies that way...sicko, demented, narrow minded, inconsiderate, self centered idiots that have no concern for other individuals or the feelings of others. Everything is fair game to them, becuase nothing outside of the way they think is right. It's the old schoolyard mentality of "Hey, it's my ball so we play according to my rules". In other words, this is their vehicle to prove their manhood, becuase it doesn't exist any other way! It takes a man to say SORRY or HEY, DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE LIGHT OF THAT, or anything like that...so you see, we are dealing with mental midgets that do just the opposite. So to both of our resident chest thumpers...FIRE AWAY! I would not want to deprive your depraved minds.

Your post that "NO GUNS EXIST" in Australia is simply not factual!

A gun ban does exist though.
Even if a gun ban were enacted in the us, all the elite would still have personal weapons too.
Again you find a technical glitch to argue, that erases all reality. You are amazing.

Didn't he say gun-ban not "NO GUNS EXIST"?
I do agree with you box, guns exist in Australia, but only for those authorized by government. And you did a pretty go job outlining the narrow criteria that allows a person to carry a gun. But I'm sure the criminals don't know that criteria and who does and does not possess a gun.
So the FACT is, NO GUNS EXIST for those law abiding citizens that are not permitted to own them. Effectively making the law abiding citizen defenseless from assault and an easy target for a violent criminal.
In law, personal protection is not a genuine reason ~In Australia, firearms must be kept at home in a locked safe bolted to the floor and separate from ammunition. You can obtain a licence to carry a firearm if it's needed for employment, sport or primary industry.
Install and use key-operated locks on doors and windows. Don't put keys under door mats. Engrave items of value: deters thieves and makes it easier for police to track stolen items.
"But the security of your house and family is paramount, so when you go to sleep at home, make sure your houses are properly secured."
"We'd remind people that if they find any people breaking into their property, just to call the police and leave it up to us who are trained and got the equipment to deal with those persons."

I'm doomed to read your whinny posts every time you disagree with my argument or offended how it is presented.
For a former marine you are pretty fragile and very sensitive.
You didn't make an argument you made a SICKO REMARK! I'm not a fragile Marine...I'm kicking back at you, aren't I, and you simply don't like someone standing up and calling you out for the jerk that you are? You are the wimp in all this becuase you are wrong with your sicko remarks and racist comments but not man enough to stop it or back off! and you need your BUTT BUDDY Loser4Life to help defend you!
YAWN!!!!
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
because eventually EVERYONE knows someone/has seen someone/met someone who knows someone who was killed/injured by drunk driver/texter/DUI etc etc....
THAT'S how humans learn....THAT'S why we are humans...NO the world isn't safe NO MATTER WHAT THE ELITE GOD/LEADERS say....removing a human's right to learn is wrong hence 'CAUTION:CONTENTS HOT'
keeping humans 'innocently civilized' is insidiously wrong and makes for personal trust of a machine...kind of like lab rats.....
social engineered society to mimic military safety? really? I don't think I signed up for that....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
