Australia Doubles Down on Gun Control After Mass Shooting​

For decades, Australians have watched in disbelief as America endured mass shooting after mass shooting. Each horrific episode touched off a familiar cycle of horror in the United States, an outpouring of grief, followed by calls for tougher gun laws that would inevitably dissolve to the status quo.

Most Australians felt certain that things at home were different. After all, three decades ago, it took just 12 days after a massacre in which a gunman killed 35 people in Port Arthur, Tasmania, for the country to adopt sweeping gun ownership restrictions. For two decades after the carnage, there wasn’t a single mass shooting in Australia.

The shooting, which left at least 15 dead and scores wounded, has forced a hard look at gun control in Australia — how the number of licensed firearms had steadily risen over the years, how some of the pledged changes were never fully implemented, how the country had gotten complacent in three decades largely free of this particular brand of indiscriminate terror.

Governments are suppose to be designed to be responsive to the wishes of the majority. To solve problems the majority want solved.

AI Overview

Yes, recent polls consistently show that a majority of Americans favor stricter gun control laws in general. For example, polls conducted in late 2024 and 2025 found that 56% to 60% of U.S. adults want gun laws to be stricter.

It has been an epic failure of governance that the US continues to essentially do nothing about the annual, mass slaughter of Americans.

Here's a better reaction. Each citizen is required to carry a weapon for self protection. The moment a bad guy pulls his gun, he's met with a barrage of citizen fire power. Stop being sheeple on the way to slaughter. Be lions.

So people out in the outback are going to have to go out there unarmed now?

 

[TheInfiniteSadness]

Stricter gun control wouldn't have prevented the Bondi shooting. This crime was caused by "hate" and if the shooters weren't allowed legal guns they would have obtained guns illegally to commit their crime.

You should apply to be the spokesman for the NRA. More guns = more shooting deaths.

AI Overview

Research consistently indicates a strong correlation between a higher prevalence of guns and an increased rate of shooting deaths from suicide, homicide, and unintentional injuries.

That's a lie.
As for public opinion polls, that's why we have a representative form of government and a Constitution.
Hearing the bleating from the sheeple doesn't mean a thing when it's simply wrong and stupid to do what they want.

They have laws so strict that normal citizens have a hard time owning them, but a Islamic terrorist, who isn't a citizen, who's family was investigated for terrorist ties, has no problem getting them.

And retard you thinks the solution is MORE gun control?

Well, you ARE a retard...

Gun control doesnt work which was just proven. How about more criminal control

The NRA is too soft. I'm with the GOA! It's nearly Christmas. I think I'll buy myself a gift -- a new gun.

The more guns you have the greater the chances you'll be injured in a self inflicted accident. Maybe buy two?

That's a lie.

Key Findings and Data

• Homicide: Studies have found that states with higher rates of gun ownership have disproportionately large numbers of deaths from firearm-related homicides. The U.S. gun homicide rate is significantly higher than that of other high-income countries.
• Suicide: A majority of U.S. gun deaths are suicides. Access to a firearm in the home triples the risk of death by suicide, largely because firearms are a highly lethal method. Most people who survive a suicide attempt do not go on to die by suicide, but the presence of a gun often removes the chance for survival and recovery.
• Unintentional Shootings: Easy access to unsecured firearms increases the risk of unintentional injury and death, particularly for children and young people.
• Risk in the Home: Contrary to the belief that guns in the home provide security, multiple studies suggest that people living in homes with guns are at a significantly higher risk of dying by homicide or suicide than those in gun-free households.
• State-Level Correlation: A clear pattern emerges when comparing states: those with weaker gun laws and higher gun ownership rates tend to have higher rates of gun violence, while states with stronger gun laws have lower rates.

GFY.

The "police" in Sydney stood by and watched while the terrorists slaughtered people at will. Then, when a bystander finally jumped in to do the job the police wouldn't, they shot him.

Gun laws aren't strictly enforced so that the State can eventually confiscate all guns. In the meantime, government policies drive people so mad that they shoot other people. All by design.

During the past 40 years crime has declined. In that same period millions more guns were sold. How could that happen?
Accidents from cars is far greater, bikes and swimming pools too.
Guns stop over 1 million crimes in any year.

If people want restrictions on the 1st amendment, should we do that?

If you believe so, there is the proper way to do that.

It's not with laws.
