    I can’t blame doctors for letting obesity color their opinion. Look around your doctor’s waiting room. Everyone is fat. Imagine the suffering and illness they see daily due to fat. How can those observations not color their general attitude?













  • Australia isn’t remotely comparable. They never had the gun culture we have and the guns that were turned in were a bunch of rusty beaters no one wanted. (If you know what you’re looking at, there are plenty of pics out there.)

    They never had the shear number and variety of guns we have. And those numbers have expanded wildly in the past decade or two. For example, no one really new what an AR was until they were banned, now it’s the most popular rifle in America.

    Most important, Australia didn’t have a constitutional right to bear arms. Doesn’t matter if you agree, doesn’t matter how you parse the words, the 2A exists and the courts have almost always upheld it.

    Also, Australia didn’t ban guns.
