I'm not sure of the exact count, but I've been told that it went up by one yesterday (or the victim is possibly still alive, though in a critical condition).

EDIT: Just found something.

OCTOBER 16, 2014 8:41PM

"A MAN was rushed to hospital this afternoon after he was shot at a Perth gun range this afternoon.

"Police say the man received a gunshot wound to the head at Lone Ranges Shooting Complex in Belmont just before 3.30pm."

the average person is a retard. Its a fact IQ is decreasing and some parts of Australia, particularly QLD and WA are behind the 8 ball intellectually. Its also a fact that you can keep a retard amused indefinitely wth video games.

Yes, well the things you'll never understand could fill a warehouse.

Not that you even need to understand it - do you also question whether "we" need things like golf courses or tapas bars? There's obviously a market for them all - society doesn't revolve around catering to you specifically.
