Man found shot to death in garage in gun controlled Australia...

[Crepitus]

Your very first statement is an obvious lie, as discussed in my previous post. I didn't bother to read the rest as it was probably just more likes lies and a waste of my time.

You read?

Almost certainly better than you do.

 

[pismoe]

That this makes international headlines is a testament to how rare it is over there. Over here, we have 30,000+ gun deaths per year; nobody raises an eyebrow outside of the family

---------------------------------- bg deal , 30 thousand death that include suicides and people shot by Cops doing their jobs and thats out of a population of 320 million . And Its no big deal Candy Corn .

But....they banned and confiscated guns in Australia...

And again.... what is keeping the illegal owner of this gun, someone who is willing to commit murder, from walking into a mall, a church, a school, or a night club and killing lots of people? Which Australian gun control law keeps this from becoming a mass public shooting?

Man found fatally shot in garage

Is your faith in your belief so weak you have to spend all day every day searching for isolated incidents of gun violence in countries with strong gun laws just to validate it? Do you have any idea how weak and foolish it makes you look, to make the same desperate posts every day, day after day?

You are a complete laughing stock, nobody but a few other insecure idiots takes you even remotely seriously.

You see these stories and think they are isolated.....you are wrong...

Gun city: Young, dumb and armed

The notion that a military-grade weapon could be in the hands of local criminals is shocking, but police have already seized at least five machine guns and assault rifles in the past 18 months. The AK-47 was not among them.

Only a fortnight ago, law enforcement authorities announced they were hunting another seven assault rifles recently smuggled into the country. Weapons from the shipment have been used in armed robberies and drive-by shootings.

These are just a handful of the thousands of illicit guns fuelling a wave of violent crime in the world’s most liveable city.

----

Despite Australia’s strict gun control regime, criminals are now better armed than at any time since then-Prime Minister John Howard introduced a nationwide firearm buyback scheme in response to the 1996 Port Arthur massacre.

Shootings have become almost a weekly occurrence, with more than 125 people, mostly young men, wounded in the past five year

-----------

While the body count was higher during Melbourne’s ‘Underbelly War’ (1999-2005), more people have been seriously maimed in the recent spate of shootings and reprisals.

Crimes associated with firearm possession have also more than doubled, driven by the easy availability of handguns, semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and, increasingly, machine guns, that are smuggled into the country or stolen from licensed owners.

-------------

These weapons have been used in dozens of recent drive-by shootings of homes and businesses, as well as targeted and random attacks in parks, shopping centres and roads.

“They’re young, dumb and armed,” said one former underworld associate, who survived a shooting attempt in the western suburbs several years ago.

“It used to be that if you were involved in something bad you might have to worry about [being shot]. Now people get shot over nothing - unprovoked.”

Gun crime soars
In this series, Fairfax Media looks at Melbourne’s gun problem and the new breed of criminals behind the escalating violence.

The investigation has found:

• There have been at least 99 shootings in the past 20 months - more than one incident a week since January 2015
• Known criminals were caught with firearms 755 times last year, compared to 143 times in 2011
• The epicentre of the problem is a triangle between Coolaroo, Campbellfield and Glenroy in the north-west, with Cranbourne, Narre Warren and Dandenong in the south-east close behind
• Criminals are using gunshot wounds to the arms and legs as warnings to pay debts
• Assault rifles and handguns are being smuggled into Australia via shipments of electronics and metal parts

In response to the violence, it can be revealed the state government is planning to introduce new criminal offences for drive-by shootings, manufacturing of firearms with new technologies such as 3D printers, and more police powers to keep weapons out of the hands of known criminals.

'Thousands' of illegal guns tipped to be handed over in firearms amnesty

Asked roughly how many he expected to be handed in, Mr Keenan said: "Look I certainly think the number will be in the thousands."

The Australian Crime Commission estimated in 2012 there were at least 250,000 illegal guns in Australia. But a Senate report noted last year it was impossible to estimate how many illicit weapons are out there.


And despite Australia's strict border controls, the smuggling of high-powered military-style firearms is also a growing problem.

 

[idb]

Obvious fake news.

There are no guns in Australia because they have laws against them.

And everybody turned in their guns and obeys the laws, don't they?

If not then it's clear, Australia needs more laws. Or....fewer people who ignore them. But then they wouldn't be real Australians....

Guns are legal in Australia.
You've been misinformed.

How do you know it was an illegal gun?
Guns are legally able to be owned in Australia.

The moment it was used to commit murder it became an illegal gun.

You're really reaching now.

Yes, actually, they have..... criminals just ignore the new gun laws in Australia...especially the ones about military rifles....

No, I'm not. You are an incredibly insecure fanatic who needs constant validation to keep from melting.

The very definition of a snowflake.

Australians now own MORE guns than they did before the 1996 Port Arthur massacre | Daily Mail Online

Yes...gun control in Australia is a failure...thank you for pointing that out......
