1 dead and multiple injured in shooting following Chiefs Super Bowl parade

Not down here it hasn't.

 

And our murder rate is much much lower than America

 

You're the one that said it and it's not a legal reason. Good luck with it if you ever have to use it in self-defense.

 

You're also missing most of a dermagraphic that is responsible for about half of the homicides in America.

And you also don't have open borders and your nation actually enforces immigration laws.
It has been pointed out to you repeatedly before that if you subtract the gang shootings from all of the gun homicides in America on an annual basis that the rate will plummet to look much like any other Nation

 

I have never seen that happen. How about you show me?

 

Or maybe he was just making sacrifices to the w**** of Babylon?

 

Here’s a bit of information you probably aren’t aware of. Since the poster you responded to was concerned with your compatriot’s illegal weapon being stolen I thought it might be interesting to look at facts.

Surprise, surprise, the shotgun described above as a great concern to authorities is a lever action shotgun of the type your compatriot either illegally owns or wanted to illegally purchase.



Apparently since the majority of stolen firearms aren’t recovered the coppers aren’t doing as well as you say. Of course this isn’t the first time your opinions have conflicted with the evidence.

If burglars weren’t armed before stealing a firearm they by definition surely are after stealing it! And they are getting away with it! In a country with the 6 th to 7 th highest (depending on the year) rate of burglary on the PLANET! About double the rate of the US.

 

And since the anti-gunners tell us that the only safe way to store firearm in the home is in a safe... And maybe even with the ammunition in another safe.... Kind of makes them completely useless for home defense.

But we know that anyone interested in home defense is not keeping them in a safe. Just another gun waiting to appear on the illegal Australian gun market

 

That's the entire reason why people are checked before entering a crowded venue. To say we would be safer to remove that security check entirely and simply allow anyone to carry inside a crowded event such as a sporting event or a concert, even if they are in the stands with the crowd.. or if it's a concert, in the jam packed general admission area, and maybe even in a mosh pit with their weapon....


If you somehow believe allowing this would make everyone at the show safer, then I don't really think I need to such much more.

 

Metaphors are not facts either, you use of them as evidence of conspiracy is the same old nonsense.

 

Yep. And in todays environment of powerful cordless tools of all kinds, safes are just expensive boxes thieves use to identify where the most valuable stuff is.

 

Since I’m not Irish I don’t have a dog in this race or any reason to care because I’ve already consumed too much cereal in my life to quit suddenly.

 

When asked, they could always say "I need it for roos and such."

 

Its true. Attendees to football games etc are searched. Its like going to an airport.

 

Yes. Sometimes people wonder why someone smashed the window and broke into the car and stole nothing. Simple, - they broke in to see if there was a gun in the car. Recently a friend of mine who lives in a high rise had all the cars at his parking lot, - over 100 cars, their windows broken and if I had to guess, they probably scored 30 guns in that raid.

Me thinks you are a tad too sensitive about the white guy persecution thingy.

 

What about the personal responsibility of the shooter(s)?

"The system" (whatever that is) didn't shoot anyone....

 

Hilariously not, it would appear. Rights are government-issued/revoked privileges in Australia.

With all due respect, I couldn't care less what the death rate is in your country. I don't live there and I have no desire to do so.

 

I think you don't understand what a metaphor is.. but it doesn't detracted from the observation that MSM stopped making this a mass shooting event the second they found out who the perps were. And now, it wasn't actually a "Mass shooting" it was a disagreement that went bad.. The left are laughable in their defense of gang violence and it's costs to our society.

 

So you don't like thoughts and prayers to families and victims.

 

I've never known shootings to have ever stopped in USA.
Capital punishment has been part of the USA since its founding.
Heck, public hangings used to be the normal in some parts.

 

North Korea has a lower murder rate than the US.

 

I don't like snarky trolling. A waste of bandwidth.

 

I don't like trolls either.
Thoughts and prayers.

 

yep, this is absolutely correct. This is one area where I agree with say the anti gun mayor of Cincinnati (who was an intern in the US Attorney's office where I handled most of my cases). He pointed out that most of the stolen firearms recovered by the CPD were stolen out of cars, not gunshops or homes. And he is right. One of the problems are careless owners. the other problem are gun free zones-people carrying handguns legally usually obey such signs and leave their guns in their cars if they are shopping and come across a No guns allowed store

 

we really don't have a death sentence penalty in the USA. when it takes 20 or more years on the average to execute someone, it loses any possible deterrent impact. In 2020, the average stay on death row was 260 or so months. Natural causes is the leading killer of those on death row in some states
