What a misleading wankfest this thread is
Guns are not banned in Australia but their ownership is tightly controlled It appears this tragedy occurred on a property in Western Australia. It is not uncommon for property owners to be granted gun licenses on their properties To try and compare this with a mass shooting as say Port Arthur is totally ludicrous Where do you get this unadulterated sh.t from? |

This is an incredibly rare incident for this country
Unlike th US - where it is a daily passtime Gun control legislation has WORKED It is the the one legacy of the Howard Government - that has majority support School Shooting in Kentucky Was Nation’s 11th of Year. It Was Jan. 23. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/23/us/kentucky-school-shooting.html |

John Howard's Gun Laws are the triumph of good sense and whether you like him or not he is a genuine bona fide Australian HERO for bringing those Gun Laws in
He has saved literally who knows how many lives by preventing us from going 'all the way with the U.S.A.' When Howard was fighting to get those Gun Laws in, he faced enormous opposition from our own Gun Lobby and self interested Parties. But he fought on and with massive support from the Public at large made his Gun Laws iron clad |

Everytown is not a credible source for school shootings they included a shooting in a school that has been closed and has no students. The everytown link shows the black gun homicide victim rate is 30.7 per 100K compared to the white rate at 2.4 per 100k Quote:
Not sure why gun grabbers bring up the USA when mass shootings occur they never cite New Zealand gun laws because NZ allow all the scary black semi autos with silencers. NZ has had no mass shootings since 1997 we have had 2, NZ had their last school shooting 95 years ago. |

And in the USA, mass shootings like this occur over once a day on average. Here in australia it is limited to every few years.
A clever person - is not a 2" gun lover - sees this as a success for our gun laws. |

WA has the toughest gun laws in Australia have they established whether this person had a valid firearms license or an illegal gun? The ABC included a list of mass shootings before Port Arthur most of them were family shootings, the police said there was no further danger to the public with this shooting yet for some reason people think family shootings were a danger to public safety before 1996. How many of these were family shootings in the list compiled by the ABC, since mass shootings are a single event why do people include 5 day killing sprees in that list? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_Australia |

A full list here, if we use Simon Chapman and Philip Alpers unique definition of 5 or more killed which nobody else uses would that reduce this number by a significant amount? https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/mass-shootings-mother-jones-full-data/ Of course the hoplophobic gun grabbers always point to the USA they never cite New Zealand gun laws because NZ allow all the guns we restricted they haven't had any mass shootings since 1997, NZ gun laws work you can't argue with the fact they don't have mass shootings. |

Actually, it isnt a mental health issue. Stats from the USA that most mass shootings are NOT done by the mentally ill although such a claim is subjective at best since even engaging in such a think would seem to imply a level of mental disturbance. But in the case of previously-diagnosed mental illness, almost non of the mass shootings are done by such people. Why this is important is because our sexually impotent fun lovers like to claim that it is mental illness driving mass shootings when in fact, it is the EXISTENCE of guns which is the problem. anyone and everyone can be subject to a temporary breakdown (see the movie Falling Down). Our responsibility is to ensure that when such things happen that they dont have easy and unrestricted access to plenty of military grade assault weapons. |
Title: Re: mass shooting proves gun control is a lie Post by freediver on May 11th, 2018 at 4:44pm
To get an idea of how well gun control works, compare media reports of convenience store holdups in Australia vs the US. I don;t recall anyone ever dying in one in Australia, mainly because there are rarely guns involved. Same crime, but less risk of death. In fact, they often don't even get away with the crime here because they are chased off.

With armed robbery retail stores are about 25% of the victims should we disregard the other 75% of armed robberies? Angelo Cusamano died after being shot with a pistol stolen from a security guard he owned a shop called the gamesman I was a customer of his. About 18% of our armed robberies involve a firearm, bats clubs syringes bottles and glasses combined account for about 10% of all armed robberies. https://aic.gov.au/publications/facts/2014/recorded-crime If you pull a gun on someone and rob them it's armed robbery even if you don't pull the trigger therefore defensive gun use must include those times where a criminal surrenders without a shot being fired, there are over 2.5 million cases of defensive gun use every year in the USA. If the USA were stupid enough to copy our gun laws they would have over 2.5 million more victims of crime every year. Thread here- http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1524533839/5 |

How many people died fo howards political posturing to remove guns from a country that had no gun problem. There is also some question in who really did the shooting Two people were reported to re doing the shooting Every shot a kill shot, which is much harder than it sounds And yet when he supposedly shot at the police, he missed every time. Then there was the special coroner's van which just happened to be in Tazzy at the time The false police call on the other side of the island and the gun conference being held in Tazzy at the time. Too many quinky dinks just to pass a gun law that he wanted because he planned to introduce very unpopular policies that he thought might bring the people to REVOLUTION.

How could Bryant fire a weapon in another room away from the phone and still be talking on the phone with the negotiator only to have thrown the gun out the window onto the shed roof after a misfired round that damaged the breach?

John Howard didn't take any guns 'off the streets' - he stole them from legally licenced and generally law-abiding citizens under false pretences, and the States piled in and made a mockery of 'domestic violence laws' by distorting law to such an extent that anyone was guilty by accusation, and any licenced firearms they had could be removed by regulation - NOT by law!
The direct and real result was more illegal firearms on the streets, and all in the hands of criminals, often with no concept of civilised behaviour or code of honour as the old-time crims used to have, such as you don't rob or violate ordinary folk - you only rob the robbers and thieves such as the banks and insurance companies that cover them - hello Royal Commission. It was an act of violence and even of civil war against the ordinary people of this nation, with the clear intention of removing from them any means of self-defence, and particularly against any oppressive or despotic moves by government. The results are available daily to the casual observer in the utter dominance of the common people by their 'government' and their government's mates who want to run the show for their own best profit. Pure despotism writ large. Not only that but this false application of the rule of law started the current war between men and women, which is causing more and more casualties on a daily basis on ALL sides - not least among the children who are becoming so borderline in their social attitudes that those hardly exist any more, and are increasingly replaced with television behaviour. Many children these days are clearly suffering from borderline personality disorder, since they have no solid grounding in basic civilities and codes of behaviour. |

"Significance levels are used to reject the null hypothesis that, for example, there is no correlation between variables, there is no difference between groups, or there is no change between treatments. A significance level of '0.05' is conventionally used in the social sciences, although probabilities as high as '0.10' as well as lower probabilities may also be used. Probabilities greater than '0.10' are rarely used. A significance level of '0.05', for example, indicates that there is a 5% probability that the results are due to chance. A significance level of '0.10' indicates a 10% probability that the results are due to chance. Thus, using significance levels above '0.10' is rather "risky", while using lower significance levels is "safer"." http://wikiofscience.wikidot.com/stats:significance-level rhino wrote on May 12th, 2018 at 12:44pm:

The number of firearm license holders and registered firearms has nearly doubled since 1996 while our population has increased from 18 to 24 million people. We have 1,973,522 firearm license holders with 5,798,980 registered firearms in Australia. Page 63 for numbers- https://www.acic.gov.au/sites/g/files/net1491/f/2016/10/crimtrac_ar_2015-16_final_071016.pdf In Australia more legally owned firearms has resulted in less firearm homicides and suicides, an inconvenient truth. Firearm deaths were declining before our 1996 gun laws, in 1980 the firearm homicide rate was 0.8 per 100k it declined to 0.3 per 100K by 1995, what caused this pre existing decline in all firearm deaths before our 1996 gun laws? http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/productsbytitle/9C85BD1298C075EACA2568A900139342?OpenDocument |

Surely you are not trying to argue there are less homicides from reasons other than guns because there are less guns? Because that would be a new level of stupid in this debate. But not unprecedented. Howard and the anti-gun hysterics argued that the gun laws were a complete success because there was a drop in gun suicides after '97, totally ignoring the fact that suicides had increased overall. |

Most of the 30000 guns handed in were not worth what govco paid for them. Several people I know handed in their old guns and bought new guns. I think if you check the records There are probably more guns now than before the amnesty. And one small note of interest Wasn't at least one of the handed in guns used in a gun crime?

Every household has at least one gun But DEATH by gun is lower than Australia. howard thought his gun laws would give him power. Just as other despots have done in the past Hitler, Mussolini to name two Then they proceeded to take over as despots do. howard thought he could do the same, but failed The only good thing that howard will ever do for the world is die With his passing, the world will become a much better place. |

Valkie you get the booby prize for that response
Clearly, the Gun Control Laws have been an outstanding success The Gun Laws had nothing nothing to do with Politics, in fact at the time John Howard was getting a furious backlash from the Gun Lobby Are you truly putting up an argument that if we didn't have gun control that the homicide rate would go down? As a retired Police officer I find that laughable. Given the choice about going out into the Community where everyone is armed to the teeth and having the current status quo every cop I have ever known would choose the status quo |

So Let me get this right Every Australian cop has a gun right? And by your own argument every one of them is a potential shooter in the making? Guns are a tool Like a chainsaw or rabbit trap to a farmer Legal gun ownership is not a problem in this country Only salivating , screaming cowards like howard fear gun ownership. Illegal gun ownership is however a problem. And gun laws are as effective against illegal gun ownership as are ICAC investigations into petrol sorting ( just bovine feaces) At this point I might add, I personally don't like guns I don't own one and never will. a gun is a cowardly weakling tool, one used by anyone who has not the ability to fight like a man. Our nanny state and country are gradually making everything illegal guns, knives, nail files etc etc. That is because the cowards in power know that eventually we people will stand up to them, and when we do, we won't need guns. |

When was the last time the said "druggie" had a spare 5k (illegal firearms aren't free) laying around to blow on a gun? They barely have $5 to scrape together for an ice break coffee milk. A syringe is available from their last hit. Machetes are sold at bcf therefore can be stolen pretty easy. Spearguns.....cashies for 20 bucks. Knives are in the kitchen draw. Cricket bats are 5 bucks on gumtree or better still flog one from the next door neighbours kid.. It's not the druggies that have the illegal firearms.... their suppliers do though...hence the druggie gets a 12guage shoved in their face if they don't pay their tick bill. |

Australia will never be like the USA.
The 'region' of North America is much like in association with the region of the Middle-East. North America is Politics (Police) and Middle-East is Military (Soldier) ...culturally/empowerment. Both are 'associated' closely as Health (Europe) and Fitness (Asia) are. Both are 'associated' closely as Food (Oceania) and Farming (Africa) are. Both are 'associated' closely as Religion (South America) and Art (Sahul ...aka Australia). So you see. Australia (Sahul) will never be like America. Middle-East is the most Military (WAR) region on the planet ...and historically. Police are similar to Soldiers - for one thing, they both have 'guns'. DEATH in Australia will never be a 'Gun issue'. Howard was just famous for putting a Band-Aid on a minor scratch here ...while SUICIDE was wrecking havoc in Australia. ICE IS FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN GUNS HERE. ...it is, of course, the most 'poisonous' country on the planet. ;) |

Black market guns are cheap in places like the US, and expensive in places like Australia where they are heavily regulated.
That's why so many Americans die after some druggie or wannabe gangster moron gets their hands on a gun. In other words, gun control works. |

No....if you have the money then it wouldn't be that hard to find a willing salesman. Can you understand that? Nothing saying it is cheap. Nothing saying it is hard to find. Just that, like everything, if you have the money then getting in contact with someone will be a lot easier than If you have no money and are just "asking around". In doing this though you have just invited dogs to lay in your bed....so expect the fleas that will follow. This mentality of "drugos/junkies are armed" is something made up. That's why they hold up shops with syringes etc. Their dealers and the dealers suppliers, sure, they would have some contacts. They "normally" dont use the substances they sell and are more "buisiness" minded.....but a usless druged out junkie/user.....no way. |

Let me get this right
On the one hand, we are to believe that gun laws, designed to prevent as many people as possible from not owning a gun, are a good thing because we CANNOT trust people to do the right and sensible thing because they are typically incapable. But on the other hand, we are to believe that drug laws, designed to prevent people from accessing dangerous mind altering drugs, are a bad thing because we CAN trust people to do the sensible thing and self regulate the use of mind altering drugs because they are capable. There appears to be somewhat of a contradiction here. We can either trust people or not And putting mind altering drugs into the mix certainly complicates things, does it not? |

Living in a flash house....all the while claiming a disability pention or something similar. Using their merchandise a little. Not really covering any tracks. Care factor of some kind of untouchable drug lord but in reality just a scared weak nobody who is trying hard. What about the ones that you don't meet? The smart ones. The ones you wouldn't even consider....and the people they sell to would probably blow your mind. People in, pardon the pun, really high places. I'm sure they have help from those people in high places too.
