You can say what you wish with what you believe is correct. however the debate will always remain and I will always disagree with anyone thinking the strick laws we have in Australia is for safety only. You still didn't tell me why Australia banned and heavily censored games even after removing the guns? That's my entire point with this topic. Once a country gives in a little, they only keep getting things taken away until you end up with nothing. We are down to a sad point in Australia where a Car Steering wheel lock is considered a weapon and should not be allowed visible without being asked the question on why you have one in your car. < Is that what we want?
The car points I brought up to you has its advantages and disadvantages and its still rather funny that the road rules are so strick here with one of the highest amount of speed cameras in the world earning $1b yearly in fines from drivers.

Quote: "So, a camera that people don't know is there, located at a point where the limit drops from 70 to 40, and it rakes in more fines and revenue than the 26-camera system at five sites along the Hume Freeway? Doesn't sound like a revenue-raising trap at all."
^ Is that what we want?
What you and many want to support is more monetization to people where everything becomes a fineable offence. You shouldn't be fined for having a low car, nor a car with tinted windows nor a loud exhausts nor the 1000s of speed cameras that are set up to trap innocent drivers. And before you argue that if you follow the law than you have nothing to worry about, well again that can be said with a country with guns.
Removing guns hasn't stopped gun massacres, as I pointed out with Russia's crime waves only increased with gun shootings when guns were taken away or placed under strick laws. Not all countries will reap the benefits Australia did. Also Australia banned a lot of other things and you couldn't walk the streets with a box cutter in your pocket without being stripped searched and fined for carrying what is considered a weapon.
The government here is like EA, they want to monitor your every move and make sure the moment you slip up you will be fined drastically which they pocket. We hate seeing it in gaming so why do we want to see it in real life? Maybe that's where me and you are different people. I respect peoples freedom of choice and if Americans want to own guns than more power to them. After all taking guns away or placing them under strick laws will only benefit the bad guys.
This is why America supports gun ownership.
