NEWS FLASH - CRIMINALS DON'T CARE WHAT THE GODDAMN LAW SAYS! THAT'S WHY THEY'RE CRIMINALS!

Gee, that sure sounds so silly compared to "let’s give everyone a gun so when they get drunk they can shoot up the bar, or when someone bulls out a book they can overreact and empty 3 clips into them. Yes we have very restricted guns laws here and HOLY SHIT, very few crimes involving firearms. If people need to pack a fucking 9mm under their jacket to feel safe something else is very, very wrong. You see the amazing thing here is I can walk anywhere I want in the city without think "shit, I could do with an Uzi and few frag grenades round here...stunning thought. When I’m with people driving past people I know I can lean out the window and yell at them without worrying about some paranoid nut pulling out a glock and blowing my head off, I kinda like that.

That having been said I don't think I'd bet my life that the loser who just hit me with a projectile, while I was minding my own business walking down the street, is only using a paintball gun. I'd err on the side of caution and blow his ass away. That kind of anti social behaviour should be actively discouraged.

Is it me or is that a self-defeating statement.

Look I agree the guy was bloody stupid but the trigger-happy attitude is what pisses me off. I mean if someone did that here you would not that "he has an M-16 and is spraying the street because you CANNOT GET THEM. I have never heard of a crime in Australia since these guns laws involving an automatic rifle.
