Does Australia have the gang problems the US has? Deaths in US cities with the highest homicide rates are overwhelmingly gang related.
and this is going exactly as expected
Has anyone ever changed their mind on gun control because of an argument on an Internet forum? 😂
We need remigration not gun control. Weak government.

Why you gotta be so mean to Chicago?! 🤣
One thing that is disappointing is that some people online appear to take joy in the fact that this happened in Australia.
I understand that Australians can often be sanctimonious about our gun laws, so I understand to a point.
But nevertheless it’s says a lot that some people (not saying anyone here) are finding joy in this as if it is a win for their argument/beliefs, more than an unimaginable tragedy.
End of rant, have a good day
Kind of.....
I grew up around guns but it was mostly long guns for hunting. Concealed carry in Illinois wasn't a thing back then. Don't remember ever having a pistol in the house. I had no opinions on any of it either way until college. Was a volunteer in a big brother program and had a kid with me going to some activity. Got ran off the road and pinned in by some nut in road rage incident and realized in that moment how helpless i was. I had a strong desire to never be a helpless victim after that but I have also always been very data driven and rational to a fault. I read as much as I could on what both sides had to say about concealed carry and found the gun control arguments to be totally lacking. Went to a range and paid for a private lesson to try out some pistols and ask some questions and the rest is history.
20 years later and still carrying anywhere that doesn't have metal detectors regardless of what the signs say and I find the arguments even less credible now. But to answer your original question, maybe didn't have my mind changed, but started from a place of honest inquiry and was quickly convinced. So I don't necessarily engage in these arguments to change the mind of whoever I'm arguing with, but you never know who might be reading along and genuinely on the fence.
Definitely not taking any victory laps. You can see what you want to see on this one. Strict gun laws and evil still found a way, absolutely true. Far more death and destruction if they were shooting something semi auto, also absolutely true.
Neither side is ever going to get anywhere parsing through details of individual events, the issues at play are so much bigger.
Same thing when Charlie Kirk was murdered. People were cheering and wrecking memorials. Despicable behavior to say it’s ok and cheer at the death of someone(even if you disagree)
It was your last statement that earned you the “retard of the week” award. Why haven’t we seen these videos. Maybe because they don’t exist.
You guys kill me.
You could turn a blow job political...
You think that terrorism like this began with the 1972 Olympics? You should do a little reading about the terroristic actions leading up to the establishment of the country of Israel. It’s crazy.
Of course that doesn’t justify violence like this attack, but it’s important to keep in mind that these things almost never happen in a vacuum and trying to claim “They started it!” is pretty disingenuous because any ‘starting’ point is arbitrary and usually picked to support whatever side you already cheer for.
Happened on literally the 1st & 2nd post on this thread...
By my count, the first non-political post was the 30th on the thread.
Well, there was that one time when Bill....
...um, nevermind...
Well, there's that. 🤣
I was referring to my personal fatigue of seeing it since childhood. In addition to that, was addressing the people calling Gaza a genocide. Israel did not just attack out of nowhere; it was a horror show on Oct 7 which was the action that caused a reaction. Then the truth came out about how the city was transformed into a fortress, they really were using schools, hospitals and homes as FOBs. When your family is attacked by hornets in your backyard you do something about it.

She's in Canada, but mentions the US and Australia. We need more people like her. The West needs to wake the fuck up.
