I find it interesting how this law was passed so quickly after the massacre.
Of course Australia will have less shootings than America, the population difference is massive! What, about 24 million to 360 million?

Thank God I live in a state where people can open carry with no license. I'm sure that scares the hell out of folks like you. Regardless, Louisiana is a very armed and very friendly state. I wonder if the two are related?

I live in an area where home invasions and burglaries are practically unheard of. People know that everyone around here is armed. Gee I wonder if there is a correlation between the two?
Just ask the good folks of Chicago. They have some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, and the highest rate of homicides. Gee I wonder if there is a correlation there as well?

But chicago is full of black people, where ever they are there is more crime. Haiti, Africa, Detroit, Chicago, Rhodesia>Zimbabawe

Plenty of people here still own guns and use them on a regular basis, hand guns and semi auto and auto were outlawed....
Well have fun with your target shooting at your shooting clubs. Those are not the most important functions of owning a weapon.
Interestingly since 1996 we have not had a tyrannical government come and kill us all, and we are not scared walking down the street, so there is that.
Don't worry about that, something will be sure to come (but everyone will be too stupid to recognize it). It will probably come gradually over generations. They won't kill you, they want you alive.

A person armed with a FMJ weapon tells other people that if they come into their homes intending on committing crime, they'll shoot 'em.
As well it should be. People breaking into your house generally don't have the best of intentions.

The day we see no gun related crime in the US, is the day I'll believe that rubbish...

Notice how these mass shootings always happen at schools, churches, hospitols. Places where an individual knows there will be nobody armed to stop them. Once again, could it be a correlation there?
Might as well ban cars, trucks, knives, machetes, clubs, anything that a person can use to kill somebody else. Hell, Cain killed Abel with his bare hands. I guess we need to outlaw those as well.

No doubt whatsoever that it was an inside job.
How many lives do you think it saved however?

The Martin Bryant frame up was laughable. There is a dearth of reporting on it, but
I found "A Mother's Burden" most informative.
Later on, the late night comics would travel to Australia, and perform consumer reinforcement acts to make everyone happy with the job of disarming them. One joker went to a half nude beach and asked beachgoers in string bikinis if they missed having guns around, as part of his act. You can imagine the hilarity which ensued. I can name names on this. I dug them up years ago, bookmarked on a dead machine.

Jon Oliver via Jon Stewart feature in their Australian segment gun seizure comic sketch seizing on Martin Bryant conspiracy/crisis, immediate aftermath.

Yes i do know. In maths the symbol ">" means GREATER THAN. I was implying Rhosesia was fine when whites were in power, and descended when Mugabe came into power. Just like what happened with Detriot, and South Africa.
