Guns aren’t banned in Australia. Ignorance or dishonesty on your part?

You gonna sleep with one eye open, gun in your hand in the event someone like granddad cannot enter your room in the wee hours with his rifle bent on killing you.

U.S. shootings are so commonplace they do not even register in your awareness anymore.

You people really need to step back and reconsider this nonsense of your second amendment having any relative value in the present times, considering it's only gotten you to killing each other at a greater rate than the entire rest of mankind.

How Many lives saved?

This is probably the weakest argument ever in the history of CD. One mass shooting in 25 years and apparently that's a fail.

America has mass shootings every day. THAT my friend, is a fail.

Exactly.

Illogical people dont know they're illogical.

A mere pittance compared to those lost. And.....were they saved from someone attempting to use a gun?

As I stated before; "you need your guns to protect yourselves from your other selves with guns." The perfect oxymoron.

Which explains the irony of your post most eloquently.

I need my firearm to protect myself from other people who have firearms. An obivously failed concept but what's your answer.....why, more guns of course.

"Mass shootings 11 times that of any other developed country" but it's the rest of us who are illogical? /Forrest Gump said it best ......Stupid is as stupid does.

Actually, defensive gun use happens at least 100,000 times a year. Most onky require the mere presenting of a firearm.
