  • NO you would be wrong if the government had people turn in their guns there would be a spike in criminal posation of guns because now the law abiding citizen would become a criminal because i know i wouldnt turn my guns in would you.

  • TAKE A HIKE BITCH, 80 MILLION AMERICANS (CONSERVATIVELY) OWN FIREARMS, THE BRITISH STARTED THE WAR ON THE COLONIES BY GOING AFTER THE GUNS AND THE BLACK POWDER FOR THEM, TRY IT AGAIN AND YOU WILL LOSE.

  • I'm pretty sure more children have been seriously injured or killed by falling flat screen TVs in Australia than have been seriously injured or killed by guns. Sorry Rebecca.

  • becky peters needs to get george soros to pay for her to get her teeth fixed. That gap is freaking huge. Anyways, I will NEVER give up my guns. If guns ever become illegal, I will become and OUTLAW.

  • Gun Culture = Orientalism.

    Gun Discipline = Armed Enlightenment = functional democracy.

    See Said, Orientalism; Foucault, Discipline & Punish.

    Let's please engage with the academic disciplines on this issue. Politicians are just out to fuck us: they are not stupid, they do not believe in the logic and arguments of gun control. Gun advocates: your argument is airtight. That's why gun control advocates are so infuriating. Don't waste your time arguing with these people.

  • Gun Control = Orientalism.

  • What qualifies the female guest to comment on the opinions of Americans? Her accent sounds British. EXTREMIST pro-gun lobby? Please! I'm American, and a LOT of us are pro-gun, just less vocal and too lazy to join the NRA. There are far more people in the NRA supporting guns than there are anti-gun people opposing them.

  • @qwexas She's Australian and was no more qualified to make her input felt in Australia. Didn't stop her turning us into a ridiculous bureaucracy. She then went to the UN to push her 'views' worldwide.

  • Ron Paul is running, and this time he has a chance. Pro-gun, and he opposes the reckless government spending that got us into our economic crisis!

    "Why is gun crime so low in Finland when they have so many guns?" This question seems to assume gun legality causes crime, so Finland would be an anomaly that requires explanation. The host has anti-gun preconception, head so far up his ass the guest can't pull it out for him.

  • Americans will never give up there gun rights, the vast majority of us support the right to bear arms and do not support banning guns. This Rebbeca Peters is a leftist and works for the extreme far left globalist anti gun organizations like the UN. The vast majority of citizens in the world wish they had the right to protect themselves. Gun control only leady to more and more violence, england, canada and Australia has reported an increase in crime since their countries banned firearms.

  • Rebbeca should go stand in front of the protesters in Syria and protect them

  • This woman is full of **** and completely lacking in knowledge.

    I am NOT a member of the NRA, nor are a number of the PRO gun friends and family I am around (more than 50 Id say).

    Assuming the low estimate of 40 others plus myself thats 41 people just in MY little world that ARE PRO GUN but NOT a member of the NRA.

    So this idiot Peters woman has absolutely NO clue what the hell shes talking about. It is FAR more than 4 million people here who are for guns. Most of them simply arent very vocal.

  • @AmericansForGuns0com You should look at joining still, unfortunately (i wish there were more but...) the NRA is the only gun rights group big enough to make a difference. 

  • @mikeyboy236

    I probably will end up joining this year.

    We just got our NRA Visa last month. I guess that helps the NRA to some extent financially.

  • That Peters lesbian needs to keep her damned nose out of American business.

    WE run our damned country woman, not you, not the criminals at the UN.

  • If she doesn't live in North America; why doesn't she just mind her own business?

  • This bitch needs to stay the fuck out of my country. And I doubt that the brits want her either. Her kind of mentality is what's allowing western culture to degrade. Multiculturalism and gun restrictions lead to one thing: the death of patriotism and those who call themselves patriots. Come try to take my guns, it's the last thing you'll ever attempt.

  • why is it a bunch of brits that are trying to tell us in the united states how to run our country? they lost the war we kicked them out. so why not shut up and worry about their own country. having a gun is not how democracies come about? well if the us was a democracy she would be right. but we are a constitutional republic...we should be like the rest of the world? oh yea that works. i hear china had strict gun laws, just like nazi germany did, go live in china that should be great for you

  • Without the second amendment you have no other rights!

  • Sebastian Rocks! He knows his shit.

  • Washington DC has some of the most stringent hand gun laws in the nation... yet it has one of the highest murder rates in the nation (the majority of which involve handguns) If you look at the cities in the US with the highest murder rates, they all undoubtedly have one thing in common (strict gun control) all these laws do is make it easier for criminals to execute and get away with their crimes!

  • ban guns

  • it's a right Bitch!

  • Wow...I wonder what drugs this 'Rebecca' lady has been doing because she clearly seems to 'visualize' that there's a possible gun-free 'utopia' where absolutely nobody has guns and everything's just happy and peaceful because everybody's totally going to submit to that and decide to hug each other and feel all great about how those 'death machines' are gone. It's obvious that such shit is impossible and I have to say she must be taking some pretty good shit to believe that.

  • Do you really think that criminals go through background checks, permits, and waiting periods to get their guns? No. You know who does? Law-abiding citizens who want a gun for home defense, hunting, or target shooting. Gun control disarms the lawful gun owners and turns them into sheep, whereas it does nothing to stop the flow of illegal guns into the hands of criminals. I have no problem with people going through background checks and permits, but I do have a problem with the gov't disarming us

  • look at teh way her head tilts. Her neck is very weak, take of that what you will.

  • every time she knows shes wrong she smiles

  • A group trying to take away your rights is an extremist group .NRA is protecting a right you have from those groups.

    The greatest cause of crime is government corruption.This is the reason most third world nations have so much crime and why there is a disconnect between gun ownership and crime between nations.You Also can't compare many industrialized nations to the U.S. because they don't border or have open borders to third world countries like Mexico and South America.

  • Rebecca Peters should be executed for violating our basic human right to defend ones self!

  • A well armed militia...., bitch!!!

  • The NRA is not extremist, and neither are gun owners

  • Do us a favor bitch stay in britian and shut the fuck up about america...

  • 90% of Americans have guns? Do you know how expensive they are? 50% maybe...

  • Is it just me or are more young children killed by furniture falling on them than by guns?

  • I can't believe she said that Europeans have more faith in their governments! Good Lord! Why?!? Didn't they learn ANYTHING from the last two thousand years of recorded history!?! Joseph, Benito, Hitler.. Europeans had faith in THOSE retards too! They should also remember, the US had so little faith in those wonderful European rulers that we fought 2 wars against the UK and 2 against Germany. How many times will the US have to bail them out for having faith in their govs?

  • Just go google "Kennesaw Georgia gun laws" and "Kennesaw Georgia Crime Statistics". The woman is using handgun crimes as a reason to outlaw rifles. She is a perfect example of two things... an anti gun nut and an idiot.

    05:20 Wide Screen TVs can fall on and kill small children. Much the same danger as handguns are thought by to pose by some. 1 doesn't have to be in the NRA to have the same beliefs.

  • im 15, i live in a ghetto ass part of my city and i own a shotgun, before that if somone broke into my house at night while my dad would be at work, we wouldnt be able to do shit, now anyone who trys to brake into my home has me and a 16 gauge shotgun to deal with. pass these laws, and those criminals can enter my house with a gun, while my best weapon is a knife? fuck that

  • toss that bitch into the river!!!

  • @laetrille Obligatory chains and brick-weights withstanding, ... naturally! LOL

  • who is she hitlers girl friend 

  • @darin1701 Nah mate - shes a froathing bulldyke, ... She might have been Eva Brauns secret girlfriend ... I'm sure she'd be gooey to turn tricks for that other gun-grabbing bulldyke The Kagan beast.

    .

    .. and what is it about bulldyke grabbing guns ... something freudian there methinks!

  • thats just wrong but then again i think your on to something lol

  • Rebecca Peters is a hater.

  • one point i see is MASSIVELY for civilian gun posession. i live in a country (Poland) where you get a 'reasonably' limited influx of foreigners, amongst them illegal immigrants. thus we can claim we more or less know who's inside and can control it (one of the reasons being most of them immigrants go to western europe as their first choice lol). the point being: usa citizens only barely control who's inside their country - and in that situation i would WANT to have a gun.

  • Sami Zeidan is obviously very bias and liberal on the issue.

  • Comment removed

  • This guy handles himself very well! Good job defending freedom buddy!

  • I get a kick out of foreigners' opinion of American gun rights...as if what they think should matter.

  • I could slam dunk this bitch in a gun debate if I was there.

  • @smartbomb33

    Anybody with a copy of the U.S. Constitution could.

  • @Antiworld23

    No, they wouldn't... cause these people don't believe in the Constitution.

  • she doesn't get it anything can be used as a weapon is she going to ban sticks and rocks next

  • Keep shooting each other, fine with me :D

  • Peters has two views that differ from the NRA's. She does not believe that protecting oneself or another is worth taking an aggressor's life, and that the majority of the population cannot take care of itself.  It is an irreconcilable difference in world view that can never be resolved.

  • This is why the British lost the revolutionary war. They have no idea about Americans. My dog and cat has more sense than her. We also don't have guns for hunting. We have guns because the constitution lets us if the government gets too powerful.

  • fuck that ugly anti-gun lesbian

  • why the hell is this stupid lady getting into our business as a nation?? Weapons = balance and freedom. Maybe thats why so many people are pro 2nd amendment.

  • Just compare Massacheusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire. Put together they would be a small state. Mass has one of the strictest gun controls and lots of violent crime (about 4x more than New Hampshire and vermont) while NH and Vermont have almost no gun control and you can carry a gun on your hip anytime there, also lowest crime rate in country

  • I disagree with rebecca's statement, widescreen tvs are quite dangerous to children, they can drop them on their heads

  • One mistake it is true you can have 70% or more of Americans agree on something, namley marijuana decriminalization.

  • that bitch has a gap in her teeth you cold drop a mountain through

  • It is too late to talk about gun control.

    If the government told everyone to turn in all guns, only people who obey laws would turn them in. No criminals would turn in their guns.

    All of a sudden, every small-time thug would be the big man on campus. He would be able to do anything knowing that no law-abiding citizen has a gun to stop him.

  • @Notwilber3 if the govt told everyone to turn in their guns that would certainly be the first law i would break in my life i would never turn in my firearms and this lady is a crackpot if someone found her and killed her with a carrot im sure someone would pop up somewhere wanting to ban all sharpened carrots.

  • that women is a stupid cunt asshole smelly bitch. That bitch needs to kill herself

  • Lmao The reason why we have the right the bear arms is to give us the people the power to over throw are government if they ever get out of control. I can tell you now, the right to bear arms isn't there for "Hunting" its there to keep the balance of power.

    If we ever loss that right we loss the power to keep things just.

  • REVOLT! Rebecca is soooo sweet. Let's take all America guns. Allow the government and everyone else to keep them.  After all we can trust these people?

  • kind of reminds me of a disney cartoon character some thing cute and crocked.

  • did that bitch just said her country has all the system better then the US?

    americans u know what, u guys really should just let the japs and nazis and commies and the terrorists keep fucking those cunts.

  • She is a stupid asshole.

  • I wish the guy would have asked that dumb bitch what have been the results of their countries gun control efforts. Their crime rate and gun violence rate has sky rocketed after their gun bans.

  • In fact, you live in London, what do you care? Why don't you come to my town and live, I want to see her survive without a gun....

  • guns are always available, EVERYWHERE

  • this woman is an idiot...

  • i think you mean dumb ass cunt

  • That bitch is a fucking moron. She somehow believes that 4 million + members in the NRA is somehow insignificant? That's just one organization, how about GOA, or other gun rights groups? In total it's probably closer to 6+ million, adults. How about she answer how many people are in the Brady Group? Few hundred thousand, probably less? And she somehow believes it's a good thing to honestly "trust" and have ideological hope in your government? Maybe she should brush up on U.S. history.

  • these gun control people are such scumbags,like rosie odonnel "i want gun control,guns are evil,then when pointed out that she has a concealed weapons permit,she said but im a celebrity!! is her life worth more than ours??

  • gun control laws are only obeyed by law abibing citizens!!!ask the police in hollywood if they would have wanted assault rifles when those two guys were shooting them to pieces,remeber they had to go to a gun dealer just to get assault rifles,and they were semi auto ar 15's and the gun shop owner gave them all they wanted and the ammo to boot!!!DONT TAKE AWAY OUR GUNS BECAUSE WE WONT BE ABLE TO SHOOT LIBERALS!!!!!!!!!

  • i agree that girl is a dumb bitch and doesnt know what the hell she's talking about sshe needs to get with reality and see we all need guns!

  • Maybe she is a shill or a plant, in which case, she would know exactly what she is talking about. Knowing full well that its disinformation.

  • This anti gun and anti American bitch has to be the ugliest person I have ever seen. From the retarded haircut (it really looks like something they would give you in a state mental hospital), pasty white skin, god ugly clothes and HUGE gap in the front of her teeth.

    The anti gun crowd, as with most other Liberals are dog ugly, bitter, and stupid people. She needs sex more than likely but I don't think it will happen in this life time, even from another woman.

  • To bad that so called reported did not ask what the effect the had gun ban that was enacted in marry old England 7 years ago.

    The figures that I saw. 7 years ago there was 40% less handgun crime then there is to day 7 years after the handgun band was past and put in place. Now England is going after there long guns used for fox hunting which England had promised not to ever go after when they passed the handgun law.

  • Fox hunting does not used guns. It is hunting with dogs.

  • The point to owning a gun, is to prevent the Government from a tyrannical enslavement of it's people! PERIOD! YOU BITCH!!!!!!!

  • "Other developed countries don't agree that ordinary citizens in peacetime in the course of their everyday life, should be equiped to kill another citizen." , she said.

    "...The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world not destitute of arms, for all would be alike: but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...the weak will become a prey to the strong."-Thomas Paine

  • if we didnt have the right to keep and bear arms, or excercise that right, wed still be brits, a fancy talkn, wierd teethed people whos beauty always seems to "lie on the inside". Im a responsible gun owner, and i believe in protecting my family. This will not change

  • been an NRA Member since I was 14 years old. In the time never killed anyone never broken the law ever. Criminals are on the streets and it has nothing to do with law abiding gun owners. I live in Canada we have enough gun control believe me.

  • Any one else want to punch her in the face?

    A country of Sheep will have a goverment of wovles.....

  • Oh yes. If I ever know I am going to meet this woman, I'm bringing crutches... because I'd break my foot off in her ass.

  • Someone should really kill that woman, for the good of humanity.

  • I dunno...Maybe it'd be better NOT to kill her. I think she hopes to be a martyr.

  • NRA extremist lobby group? lady your a nut!!

  • I live in England right now and there are some smug moronic children in charge of this country. As for the great gunfree utopia of Britain. People get shot on a regular basis and stabbed to death in ludicrous amounts. Historical precedence? How about using private firearms to free our colony from the oppression of the BRITISH government. And now 200years later these wankers are still trying to take our guns away! You lost the empire, GET OVER IT!

  • Now see...This is what was bothering me. The question that was asked was, "Have gun-related" deaths gone down.

    That's such a biased question...Yeah...If you outlaw guns, someone will just club you in the head with a blunt object, before taking your wallet.

    Gun crimes will go down...But, will you really be decreasing acts of violence?

  • Not even that, but gun crimes do not go down. the uk has seen a dramatic increase in handgun violence after banning them.

  • @guamsst

    at has nothing to do with the empire in which britain still does actually have.but evrey english man scottish man welch man i have spoken too actually wants guns,but what i want to know is why arent we doing anything about it we should stand up and say WE WANT OUR GUNS BACK!!!!!!!!!!

  • @rangers11000 My point is that the wankers who run Britain still would love to disarm Americans. As long as we have guns, you will question why your government doesnt trust you to have them. And if you have guns those same wankers wont be able to do whatever they want regardless of how much you complain about it.

  • god this is smug stupid bitch

  • Rebecca Peters can suck my left nut and my handguns.

  • if you take guns away people will just stabb each other, look at the UK they have "stab-proof" vests. Every week in London 52 teenagers are victims of knife crime.

  • The British invaded and had soldiers occupying our homes, and that bitch has the nerve to question us about our gun rights?

  • I can't stand that woman!!! I would'nt give her any of my handgunS!!!! Or shotgunS, Or rifleS!!!

  • What rock did this broad crawl from under? Confidence in gov't, not only do we not have confindence in gov't...WE DON'T TRUST GOV'T!!! Please name 1, just one function of gov't that works the way it was intended & that is efficient. You can't, it does not exist. Oh, they are fuckin experts at sticking their dick skinners in your pocket to steal more money from you...that, they can do quite well.

    Hard to tell which side of the pond has more pussies living there.

  • make that 4,000,000 and 1 BITCH!!!!

  • "More confidence in our government"!!! You are kidding ar'nt you??!!! I live in the UK and would love to be able to have the right to defend myself.

  • Americans believe in individual liberty. Don't tread on me. I won't tread on you. Screw the redcoats if they don't understand.

  • rebecca, like obama is a nut.

  • Rebecca Peters is a brainwashed product of the elite NWO who want to enslave US all. Genocide results when the people can not defend themselves. Learn how dangerous the UN is from JPFO. Only tyrants and criminals fear honest armed citizens. Registration ALWAYS leads to Confiscation. Fight and defend the 2nd. amendment..it is our right that protects all others. Good People NEED to be able to defend themselves. USA was created because our forefathers wanted FREEDOM to live a good life.

  • Rebecca said a mouthful..only 4 million. This is why all you cheap freeloaders who are too fucking cheap to invest $35.00 to help protect your rights and freedoms need to step up and join! Join the Jews for the preservation of Firearm Ownership (JPFO) Educate yourself and others with materials. A safe society is an armed society. I don't trust these politicians with my tax dollars, let alone my life. Fuck her and the rest of those who do not LIKE US being armed and protected. Fuck the UN!

  • And Australia has the highest overall violent crime in the developed world.

  • I wonder how many of which are gang shootings and suicides....

  • AMEN BROTHER

  • Brits dont understand personal liberty. Theyre not familiar with it. These people want to ban psycho, ban crazy. You cant ban psycho. You cant ban crazy.

  • i would laugh so much if somone shot her in the head from beind

  • She is not a US citizen, why should she have anything to do with what goes on in the US? It is a shame that her flawed arguements and empty rhetoric tricked australians into giving up ability to defend themselves. Australia the country that celebrated people like Ned Kelly, should be ashamed of themselves for being so easily duped by such a dodgy character.

  • what a beeeautch.

  • John Mc Cain only gets a C from the NRA. Shit what do the NRA want bazookas, gernades and uzi 9mm available to gradmnas before you get a A from them?

  • No, they don't want bans on assault weapons and the right to carry; which John McCain in the past has supported.

  • LOL WIN. seriously that was an awesome comment. and I do kinda think you are right about the bazookas. lol

  • "only 4 million NRA gun owners" she repeated this fact. not a group that you want to try and remove a right from to meet U.N. rules. not a smart move.

  • 90%?  I thought only half of us had guns.

  • The firearms business within the US alone not counting the military is about $75 Billion per year. This inlcudes ammo manufacturers, hunitng guides, accessories, and of course countless manufacturers. Believe it or not, the only bright spot in the US economy right now is gun sales. The WSJ just mentioned it on Friday or in the weekend edition.

    It is MY RIGHT as an American to LAWFULLY own whatever firearms I deem necessary to protect my family!!

  • Two words that will stop the heart of the gun control activist: desktop manufacturing.

  • google FREE MORGIE

    He's no terrorist!

  • Thomas Jefferson would roll over in his grave if he heard Rebecca Peters. For lack of a better term, she is a complete idiot.

  • peters needs to get laid

  • I'm not an NRA member, but do own and carry firearms. I support the Second Amendment, and the Constitution.

    My mom does NOT carry or own firearms, and is not an NRA member. She supports the Second Amendment.

    Just because the NRA has "only" 4 million members, that is NOT a reflection of us Americans who support the Right of Individuals to Keep and Bear Arms.

    This woman needs to come to America, and interview REAL Americans. Without her armed guards of course....

  • I wonder if they ever looked at the world map. I mean the USA is a hell of a lot bigger than ANY European country which means of course we will have more crime. More people bigger area more crime.

  • June 27, 2008. The Court just ruled in favor of the right to bear arms. I bet Peters is crying herself to sleep every night now.

  • Anyone see the irony of a middle easterner discussing the odd freedoms we have in the United States???

  • I really can not stand that woman. Everything is the gun's fault. Never mind that it's just a tool that needs an operator. Hell, a hammer could really hurt someone....

  • I'm killing this country. No government=no controls of any kind.

    Just fucking watch me!

  • I'm also a proud NRA member. An armed public is characteristic of a free society. She mentioned that a gun is a danger to anyone in the household it's in and the community members around it.A gun isn't a danger or threat, it's protection.The only people a gun is a threat to are the criminals that will try to break into your house.I don't understand why this is such a big deal, it's an amendment to the constitution and it was put there for a reason.Free people have the right to defend themselves.

  • peters is a SHMUCK ! 300 million includes men,women and children not just the voting age...Perod

  • Peters: "In other countries people have much more confidence in their goverments".

    Ah yes, governments in Sudan, Rwanda, China, North Korea, and Cuba have proven how well founded the trust really is (Also those countries have strict gun laws).

    Peters obviously needs to be reminded that governments are resposible for the majority of deaths around the world, not armed citizens. Furthermore, it was distrust of the government that led the creation of America as a nation in the fist place.

  • I wouldn't expect anything less from this silly woman. She keeps talking as if all guns were destroyed that crime would be a thing of the past. What total rot! It's typical of the type of anti western broadcasting we've come to expect from aljazeera.

  • large screen tvs emit dangerous radiation that has some health damage that man or woman(whatever it is) is full of shit

  • I live in the U.S.I own several guns.The news always makes a big deal about guns.They never go to the root of the problem.Before guns,there were swords and knives.How many people you think got killed by those weapons over the years?When you hear the news,Make sure you get the full story because i know of two school shooting that was stopped because a teacher had a gun.

  • I have five firearms. They do not load themselves.

    She clearly states that poverty and racial inequality are the root cause of most crime.

    So why ban firearms? Why not help get ride of poverty and racism?

    I am sure 80% of all crime involves robbery. 75% are by the same perceived race on another.

    That bitch is almost as bad the Brady Campaign.

  • hahaha...i guess im a coward. i legally own two guns and guess what, i didn't buy them to go and kill people...i, like a lot of americans, target shoot at paper, not people. america has become a nation of paper punchers and not cold blooded murderers.also, just 2 months ago, my home was broken into and i defended myself and my family with my semi automatic rifle. what would of happened if i didn't have the right to keep and bear arms? i ask myself that question every day.you decide!!!

  • u said it not me

  • No, most people don't know the difference between ignorant/stubborn and stupid/dumb.

  • The Congress has the power to issue letters of Marque and Reprisal, which assumes there are people with privately owned crew served weapons who can cross an international border, and seize property belonging to an offending nation.

  • Assuming no one had any guns, bodybuilders, professional fighters, police, and anyone unscrupulous enough to conceal a knife gains an instant, irreversible advantage over everyone else around them.

    Gangs of people become much more powerful against the individual, and organized robbery, crime, drug dealing, etc becomes an easier, less deadly endeavor. Now all you have to do is wrap a cord around someone's neck to get their cash, and there's no reprisal.

    I'm out. Guns are an equalizer.

  • Firearms protect us from tyrants. People like her would surrender us to the tyrants. Tyrants sometimes stand on the corner selling drugs to your children and daring you to do something about it. They sometimes wear finely tailored suits and run for office. They come in all shapes sizes and colors. Some pick your pockets under the color of law and some feed their enemies into tree shredders feet first. But be sure of one thing, there are tyrants.

  • Sassi is to be commended for his patients. There is something obtuse about her admitting that the police cannot provide individual protection, yet her denying the logic that an individual should have the right to protect themselves.

  • What is it about "regulated" that this woman doesn't understand? No, she understands, she is attempting to distort the perception of the viewers. Her arrogance is evident in her willingness to stick her nose into our domestic policy and attempt to tell us what is good for Americans. She demands regulation of handguns while ignoring that they are thoroughly regulated now. What she really means, is take them away from people.

  • how is he arrogant? Considering the culture bias from phrase like 'your society' and 'your people' that came from Peters' Mouth, I find it hard to call Sassi arrogant and pretentious when it was in fact Ms. Peters who sounded like it more than anyone. To make it worst, all her stats and claims are wrong. If gun control worked as a crime deterrent, then England's crime rate wouldnt be six times the US's rate. Peter's and some other Brits here should do more research before talking about the US

  • If you ban the guns, criminals (or anyone who really wants them) will get them anyway from other means. It'll actually be worse because of a thriving underground black market that will result from the ban. I'm not sure if banning is the right way to do this! If guns are to be sold either way (ban them or not) then why not let the government charge high taxes while the sales are still legal. Higher taxes and surcharges, and stricter ownership laws are the way to go.

  • British people are quite known for that. Actually, people against things in general are, and they lie and put up bad arguments off of emotion like this

  • When the facts aren't in your favor you have to stay away from them and make emotional appeals. Give statistics without explaining them or putting them in any context.

  • She is really arrogant. She was practically laughing while he was talking.

  • if you'd be less restrained and mad about us wanting to practice our freedom (something Europeans seem to like to give up frequently), then you're the perfect example of who the real nut is

  • I'll second that. Smug and condescending. Wonder if she knows how many rapes and murders are stopped each year by women with handguns? Doubt it. Facts are not important to fascist like her.

  • The Constitution is sound,we have the right,doesnt that mean anything? the goverment's have always disliked guns,and most the people who use guns in crimes are stolen and used by people who cant legally have them anyway,like Prohibiting guns would stop anything.and not everyone here loves guns,but it a worthy right for an honest person.eee

  • She made a terrible argument.... nonsensical and lacking fact. Her statement about public systems in other countries was hilarious, absolute crap.

  • How about an Australian not tell me how America should be? Or describe what my America should be? Or tell me what America does or should think?

  • Then how about YOU get the fuck out of the REST of the world?

  • I'm not in the rest of the world. And we don't tell Britain what to do. We don't tell Australia what to do. We act to protect our own interest, and you can criticize that if you want, from your standpoint, but at the time it seemed like a reasoned response.

    And we're not governing anyone. She is attempting to govern us. I'd gladly let the rest of the world burn, as long as it didnt hurt us.

    And not to be cliche but - You're welcome for WWII. ;)

  • Heard that before. Until you need our; money, science, health services, courage, and Marines...

  • This would never be discussed on primetime Tv in the U.S. If it was, they would probably spend twelve minutes discussing it. Thanks again, AJE!
