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.

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.

You would think that was obvious and a proof in its own right... but to a gunlover, there is no proof possible.

this isnt about America.... we are nothing like Americans   who think guns are a normal accessory.. they buy their kids guns for their birthdays...

we have a completely different attitude to guns... and we dont give everyone the same rights to own one....

and I do not agree this was an act of someone in a normal state of mind........ to kill 4 children  is not a normal act.. even for Americans....


anyone who gets a gun and uses it to destroy others... has mental issue....short of being a hired killer   who lives with no empathy or conscience whatever.. in other words ......stone cold...

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


Sorry Baron but that's just BS.

he did clean it up  for a while.... how many guns were taken off the  streets????... they would still be out there  if there hadnt been a buyback....


30.000 guns were handed in during the amnesty....as well..

come on these guns are never more....

there will always be loonies out there    and the more guns out there the more chance they will get their hands on one...

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.

There were 640,000 guns confiscated with the buyback.

In NSW with the recent amnesty guns could be surrendered to police or gun shops to be sold or registered.
Quote:
So far, 11,305 firearms have been handed in for registration, sale or destruction across NSW.

Of those, 3579 firearms and firearm-related items have been surrendered to police for destruction or registration.

Anyone with an unregistered firearm or firearm-related item can legally dispose or register it without penalty until September 30 at approved drop-off points, which include licensed firearm dealers, mobile stations and police stations.

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/hills-shire-times/thousands-of-guns-...



So with NSW 3579 were surrendered for destruction and 7726 firearms were surrendered to be sold and registered.

this isnt about America.... we are nothing like Americans 


The gun grabbers always mention the USA with guns even though we are probably much closer to New Zealand for culture.

New Zealand has had no mass shootings since 1997 they never cite their laws because they allow all the guns with silencers that we restricted in 1996.

The gun grabbers never cite laws that work anywhere else in the world because they want to confiscate and ban guns.
