But that's impossible! Guns are illegal in Australia! Everybody knows, once you ban all the guns, that immediately and permanently stops all gun violence from happening, ever!
Mate, we've had less mass shootings in 25 years than the USA has had in November alone this year, are you just cooked in the head or what?
One of the perpetrators had 6 registered firearms. A frankly ridiculous amount for one person to have. Further proof that access to deadly weapons is… oh, I don’t know, maybe just possibly a bad thing that should be tightly regulated.
Imagine how bad it would have been if they had automatic weapons.
To be fair to legitrimate shooters, if you're a farmer or game shooter you'll need different firearms. It's a bit like owning six different sized spanners. The number of guns isn't the issue, it's the use.
Father was a member of a gun club and a license owner for 10 years. What's interesting is that his son was under investigation by ASIO in 2019 for a possible connection to ISIS.
Ten people dead and you want to "pwn the libs"
You're a goddamn embarrassment to the species
Have you tried actually addressing your issues instead of just getting angry about them?
folks like you is the reason why the rest of the world can't take people from the US serious anymore.
Hey mate, you need to fuck off some more. Then fuck off again.
Dickhead.
Fuck riiiiiiight off
Wow, so mature! Much wow. Nah dog you can fuck right off
Are you paid by the NRA or are you just being a dumbarse cockhead NRA schill for free?
They're not wrong, though. Banning things doesn't stop people from obtaining them. See: abortions and cannabis.
Also fuck the NRA.
Coincidentally, they are wrong (the guns were legally owned), but it doesn't even matter. They're coming into a grieving community to sarcastically troll about US gun legislation using some ridiculous strawman argument.
So they can get fucked.
How many mass shootings in Australia in the past decade can you look up?
How many in the US have happened in the past month? Or better yet, the past week?
