Hey Americans, take notes
Take note on how to vote with emotions? Precisely how we got to where we are actually. Perhaps it’s Australia that should take note on what not to do. Strengthen what’s already working and move forward as a country.
Nah, you can deepthroat boot by yourself. I’m sure these new laws will work as well as the last ones.

Australia gun deaths: 0.90 per 100,000 people
US Gun deaths: 13.7 per 100,000 people.
Canada Gun deaths: 0.78 per 100,000 people.
Wow, I had no idea we had fewer per capita gun deaths than Australia.
As if gun deaths are the only ones that matter? Now do arsons, stabbings, and bludgeonings. I hear Australia has a real problem with arson.

Still significantly lower. But also that’s a weak dodge from your initial failed argument.
So? Violent crime in the US is continually dropping. Why should we predicate our rights based on the lowest common denominator? Are you only as good as the shittiest among you?
Are you suggesting that gun control laws cause arson? Like, I want to rob some guy but I don’t have a gun, guess I’ll set him on fire?

Tbh i have no idea about gun control laws in Australia. Haha
They are highly effective at ensuring that people who do not break laws cannot get guns easily.
They also make it harder for people who do break laws to get guns easily.
Cool, so only criminals who are slightly dedicated to breaking the law get guns and no one else. Got it.
Obviously.
Oh, this is going to be a fun thread!
I’ve always seen Australia as a success story for gun control so am a bit skeptical that it needs changing. There’s a decent argument that the balance was already found 30 years ago, but it’s a complicated topic and tensions are high right now so whatever the right move is, it’s less likely to be found during the period when a more knee-jerk response can override those considerations.
The man arrived in Australia in 1998 on a student visa, authorities said, and was an Australian resident when he died. Officials wouldn’t confirm what country he had migrated from.
A foreigner should not be allowed to obtain a gun licence.
This is the first loophole that needs to be closed.
The paragraph you quoted says he was Australian.
Australian resident, not citizen. That’s not exactly the same thing.
