. Still not denying there right to bear arms but deny them the right to ammunition SIMPLES
PEOPLE kill people with GUNS specifically designed to do so,(semi automatic weapons are designed for ONE
purpose only,so they can be changed to give people the power to kill people).
There is no valid reason for a private citizen to have a semi automatic weapon,
If they had no guns then tens of thousands of Americans would still be alive.
Americans kill more of their own people then terrorism does,(yet they spend billions on terrorism but only a
paltry amount on the prevention of home terrorism),
Licensing requirements are a crock as ANY "legal" permit holder can and in a number of cases do turn "nuts"
further down the line.
Gun ownership in the US is that entrenched that it's on par with some religious dogmas,(if something is
repeated often enough the person will become convinced that it's the truth).
IMHO guns in the US will NEVER be used with the intention of why it was written into the constitution and by
continually using the 2nd as an excuse they make a mockery of it and the 2nd,

No, I have no further questions right now. and to the ones I had, I think I know the answers.
You're aghast astounds me!
You do realise that you can go to any markets, swap meet stalls, trade centres, antique store, Cash converters even, and buy a sword of some description.... I own about 6 antique swords. All on display in my home, and could easily do some serious damage to another human being if used! I've even got a WW11 rifle bayonet. (that one is locked away in a display cabinet)
...goodness, walk into BCF and check out the huge fishing knives, hunting knives,fishing spears!
Better yet, walk into any catering suppliers and check out the arrangement of multi-sized kitchen /chef knives that any ordinary citizen can purchase, no questions asked!Or, go to Bunnings and check out the various axes, shovels, spades for purchase.... chainsaws, electric nail guns!
Just as dangerous if not more dangerous, in the right hands! only difference, is distance! knives, etc, need to be (for obvious reasons even noted by blind Freddy) close range while guns, nail guns, fishing spears do not!
All perfectly Legal!! same as your motor vehicles, chemical sprays, poisons, oh...the list goes on!
The right to bear arms is just a SMALL splash in the ocean of the *weapons of mass destruction* debate!
Not sure which state you are in but If you live in Vic you need a licence to purchase/own any sword, genuine or repo. They also must be kept/displayed in a locked cabinet. It is also illegal for anyone under 18 to purchase a knife or for anyone to carry one your person.
