Ok.
There are way to many posts for me to read right now, but i'll rebut points that have stood out.
1stly, How do you think half of Robbers get guns? They are given a background check, they are found to be clean, the are issued with a weapon. Technically, these people are the "Right Hands", but we all know better. Any man, women or Juvi carrying a gun is a potential criminal. I mean, It is a split second decision, shoot someone or don't. Now, peole have said "But, I am the Right Hands" or "Im not a criminal", etc. That's easy for you to say, but thats what most people think of themselves up until a point. What is stopping any of you from grabbing your gun now, heading to your front yard and shooting every living thing in sight? A conscience, maybe, but nothing physical. Anyone who is not naive know there are bad people on this planet, thus crime. Most people use a gun purely for sport, others, they never really need to touch their gun, its just in case. Some, however are so corrupt in the mind, they shoot people, without reason. These are technically the "Wrong Hands" but, no one ca never be sure what the "Right Hands" and the "Wrong Hands" are.
2ndly. I am not B.Sing you about the kid, it was on the news for about a week. And Since America doesn't really get any news on Aus, compared to what we get on you guys, you probably didn't know about it.
Hawkmoon.... Do you really not see Education for my future employment an essential? What about clothes? And Uniforms? Do I turn up to school naked, with no book? I doubt my school would look kindly on it. Also, I said DEPENDING ON THE ROE, meaning in most cases, excepting where the RoE change, your gun should be a last result. But Im not saying throw rocks at the enemy, im saying, If they surrender, or they shoot at you or seem to be carrying a weapon, you take them down. But you don't shoot anything that moves, or looks like a person. Thats not how it works. And Maturity has nothing to do with life experience. Its how you handle situations and act around people. Someone who blows rasberries and makes farting noises aren't very mature. I've just exposed about 30% of my school. People who understand that the only way to get stuff is to work, who can talk with adult, who is currently studying for the best grades possible, would you not say there is a difference?
Um, the London guy wasn't a pickpocket, I was merely using a pickpocket as an example. He was a simple tourist. Like, if you traveled to, say, India. And the Police there came running up to you, shouting some strange dialect at you with there weapons draw, the instant human reaction is to freeze, fight, or flee. The guy ran because he was scared, and was shot. But the police were only doing what they thought was for the good of their countries. I bet it was a similar situation in the US around 9-11. Any suspicious person would have been pulled up an checked, it was just luck no-one ran, because your cops wouldve reacted the same way, with good reason.
