that is idiotical in the extreme, it it's true, if it's not, then he should not have said it.
so is that the law, and is it as it should be???

It varies from state to state in the good ole USA - not like Oz, I guess. You have your own crime problems, albeit not primarily with guns.

There's no law that says that laws have to be as they should be.

sure we have problems, what place doesn't.
but to let them have guns at 18, and not alcohol until 21 is obscene.
i guess it's different to somebody looking in(me), than it is to somebody that has always had it so.
i can read all the stuff about don't blame guns, blame the person, and whatever, i just don't understand why people need guns.
from what i read it's a 'god' given right to own one in your fine country.
fine, i just don't understand why one would want to own one in the first place.
for what purpose?
so i guess you would call me a 'liberal' and i certainly lean slighty to the left, but it was a very conservative prime minister in my country that tried to get rid of guns, by buying them back amd making stricter laws.
best thing he ever did to my eyes.
what other first world country has the amount of slaughters as your country?
if it's not guns then what is it?
is there something fundamentally wrong with american society?

Here's a small, but telling, example of whats wrong in American society.
Bravado fueled by ignorance.
Did it make you feel good, jocko, to put someone down
with a stereotypical insult? Did you take a deep breath
first - even thump your chest once or twice while typing?
Pathetic douche.......

There is something fundamentally wrong with about 40% of the population. That's the 40% who claim Donny Boy is just great, rapid fire guns are an American right, and no American should get a government handout.
Oh. And Steve, those are the real Americans just in case you haven't heard.

In Australian years? 147. You have no idea what you are talking about. You attempt to compare what goes on in Australia and somehow hypothesize that you have an ffing clue about this country.
The problem here is not guns but the absolute lack of upbringing and failure of parents and communities to stop this BS, Meanwhile, down under you drink piss beer and attempt to give us some BS global insight.
Get back to sucking on lollipops you wanker!!!!

Nothing like worldly advice given from a citizen of a country that doesn't have the technology to produce their own automobiles.
