I have hardly ever posted - and before I get abused I think this is one of the best hotrod sites around, you guys rock!! I hate to bring up and old thread.. but..Dave S in my opinion is a car building legend and I am 100% with you on this subject, and if one of you pro gun guys can actually give me a "real" reason for carrying a weapon, regardless gun, knife or whatever I will be impressed. Like we say in oz drink a cup of concrete and harden the F up !!!

I am an Ozzie, and lived in Texas from 2000 to 2003 and have had this debate with my American friends so many times, and I have lots of American friends . But not once have I heard a decent argument for carrying guns. My first day in Houston three guys were shot and killed at a car wash just around the corner from Rice village.

Sure we have violence in Oz, but we don't unload a 9mm every 10min like you guys do. Its mental, really think about it for a while - the world if a tough place, but how many of you have actually left the great USA!! The rubbish about hunting for food ?? c'mon give me a break, it cost a couple of bucks to get a cheese burger - your ammo costs more. Also FYI I have worked and lived outside of Oz for the past 15 years - including some pretty rough places in the " middle east" and Africa.

If i hear its not guns that kill people, people kill people one more time I will puke. Sure we kill people in oz but guns crimes are nearly non existent..

Anyway stop shooting people and the world will be a better place.

Cheers,

Lyndsay!1
