Australia is quite conservative compared to the U.S. of A. There is no doubt that fewer guns = fewer deaths by guns however, America's politicians consider that career suicide and would not want to give up their jobs just to save a bunch of school kids from a massacre.
Gun Control=Political Suicide

^shrug^ Never can tell with Putin he lies even more then Elon.
The SU27 is almost 40 years old was my point.

Slightly offtopic.
At 44 seconds, does the Putin plane make a 180 degrees turn while flying straight (not 360 so I may be mistaken)?

Not sure what you are talking about peet. 44 seconds is a close up of a propeller plane and there was nothing in the video was any different than other airshow and planes. Not sure I saw anything that indicates a plane doing a 180... hmmm

It's just stalling... Every plane can do that.

Hmmm must have missed the link but must be what they referred to in the article as the falling leaf manuveur. Some stall more gracefully then others ,)

3d printing makes this argument somewhat futile.
But yeah globey, what could possibly be wrong with Americans having all the guns they want? Personally, as a gun-owning farmer myself, I think if you want to live in a society where people are killing themselves and each other at an incredible rate, and now you think kindergarten teachers need to pack, by all means, fill your boots. The rest of the world can watch you and feel mightily superior.
