Quote from: "Shen Li"^Oh FFS, this is the kind of crap Romero would post. It was meant to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but also convey a point. Eliminating gun ownership won't necessarily lower violent crime rates. Also, we see the types of governments that do NOT trust their citizens with guns. A lot of them are pretty fucking scary.

But proper gun control does work. America's lack of gun control proves it.



Funny how you have to use ridiculous examples like Hitler and Stalin. It just goes to show that you can't use real world examples like Canada, Australia, the UK...

That image was meant to be facetious moron. However, Switzerland has a very rate of gun ownership. They rejected more restrictive gun laws via referendum. Is that a country now another South Africa? Hardly.

QuoteGetting rid of all guns wouldn't lower violent crime rates? Is that supposed to be a joke comment as well?

Restricting gun ownership is supposed to get rid of guns and thus violent crime? The same way that prohibition eliminated alcohol. ac_lmfao  This is a fucking joke right? Nobody could possibly be that fucking naïve? Maybe you just finished a big fattie before you wrote that.

Quote from: "Dove"It's not legal gun owners responsible for these crimes. In fact no one knows how this shooter even got his weapon.

Quote from: "SPECTRE""Our nation's weak gun laws and easy access to unmatched firepower allow virtually anyone the ability to carry out such a lethal event. At the same time, the NRA and its financial patrons in the gun industry work to make sure the next mass shooter has all the tools he needs, by promoting and marketing increasingly lethal products designed with the sole purpose of killing as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time available.



The firearms industry can get away with this because guns are the only consumer product the federal government does not regulate for health and safety. Airplanes are regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration, and if a jetliner crashes, we immediately investigate the causes to prevent it from happening again. Food is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. A food poisoning outbreak prompts authorities to trace the source of the contamination.



Yet when guns are used to shatter lives and communities in mass attacks, we accept it, surrendering to what the National Rifle Association labels the "price of freedom."



How hard is this for these dumbshit yankees to follow??



More guns = more gun deaths.



Less guns = less gun deaths.



Its basic, simple logic. But fear is rarely logical. An American has to have a gun to defend himself and his family.



Why?



Because they guy next door has a gun.



No wonder they fuck up every military exercise they've ever embarked on.

QuoteA teenage gunman who shot dead a NSW police worker outside the force's Sydney headquarters in an attack "linked to terrorism" has reportedly been identified as Farhad Khalil Mohammad Jabar.



Officially, police have only described the killer as a 15-year-old boy of Iraqi-Kurdish background and born in Iran, and say they won't confirm his identity until "all formalities" have been completed.



A day after the shocking attack which closed down parts of Parramatta, investigators are trying to work out what led to the teen, named in media reports as Jabar, to shoot Curtis Cheng as he left work at the State Crime Command on Friday afternoon.



Mr Cheng had worked for the police finance department for 17 years.



After gunning the 58-year-old down from behind, Jabar continued to fire.



Dressed in a loose-fitting black robe, he was reportedly waving his pistol about and yelling as he moved in front of the police centre before being shot dead by officers.



Commissioner Andrew Scipione says police are still a long way from establishing a full picture of the teen or what motivated him to carry out the "disturbing" attack.



What they do believe, is "that his actions were politically motivated and therefore linked to terrorism".



At this early stage of the investigation, Mr Scipione says they have no information to tie the boy to a specific group.



"There is nothing to suggest he was doing anything but acting alone," he said in Sydney.



The teenager's family have spoken to police and are co-operating.



Mr Scipione said he had been advised the teenager attended a mosque before the shooting but reminded people such attacks were the acts of a small minority.



"Simply because a person is of the Muslim faith doesn't mean they are a terrorist. We shouldn't be treating entire communities like they are all suspects, because that's simply not the case," he said.



He has spoken with Islamic community leaders who have condemned the shooting and offered full support.



Detectives visited the mosque again on Saturday morning, News Corp Australia reports.



Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who described the shooting as a "cold-blooded murder", echoed the commissioner's comments.



Blaming or vilifying the Muslim community would be utterly counterproductive, he said.



"The Muslim community are our absolutely necessary partners in combating this type of violent extremism," he said.



Mr Scipione remembered Mr Cheng as a "much-loved man" who would be missed and said he was hoping to speak with his family on Saturday.



NSW Premier Mike Baird has expressed his condolences to Mr Cheng's loved ones.



"How can someone so young undertake such a chilling act? It doesn't make sense. It should never have happened," he told the media.



He urged all Australians to not let fear or anger take hold and called for unity.



"This is not a time to point fingers, for anger to reign ... what we have to do is come together and solve it," Mr Baird said.



Mr Scipione said the events of Friday would be taken into consideration with regards to security at the NRL grand final at Homebush on Sunday.



"There will be a very high police presence regardless (but) you may well expect to see higher visibility," he said.



A coronial inquest will be held into the shooting.

 So banning guns will cause less violance just like banning drugs caused less addiction.  Got it. The last I checked people don't sit around plotting to do a public shooting but darn it....guns aren't legal. If only guns were legal...I could shoot people.  Makes sense RW. I'm so glad I could read and be told how to think, despite that pesky thing called reality.
