This is what a rational reaction looks like.

1) No, he was addressing the issue.

Too bad. You mean more lip-service, more political theater. We were hoping he'd actually address the problem. I guess neither he nor you can ever say what the problem really is, all you see is an excuse to justify banning your object of fear: guns. You live in the fantasy made-up world of imagination where if just nobody had guns, then no one could kill themselves, and if they can't shoot each other, then everyone will get along and be happy.

So what better and easier place to begin but by disarming the people who are the TARGET of crime first.

The problem is being continually addressed. You can't fix everything. America is armed to the teeth, but you have on average one mass shooting a day. Guns are not solving your problem. I do not fear guns. They don't particularly bother me. You have a fear of your own fellow humans beings. I generally don't.

With the same, failed rhetoric for the 9,800th time.

You can't fix everything.

Apparently these people can't fix anything. Maybe L.A. should offer them a job.

America is armed to the teeth,

And saddled with a mountain of repressive and illegal laws. Go try get a CCI in New York State. Shoot someone there to save your life and they throw YOU in jail and let the assailant free.

but you have on average one mass shooting a day.

Bullshit. But I can see you're having one pissed off dude per day tired of a broken system where nothing is ever fixed and all he gets from lawmakers is the same lip-service over and over just designed to protect certain minorities.

This is the legitimate response to the IS terror attack against Australia. Australian Prime Minister Albanese said of the US military's retaliatory strikes on Syrian bases belonging to the Islamic State (IS), "The US action was timely, swift and decisive, and we support it." Australia needs to crack down on Islamists at home.

That has worked so well in the US so far hasn't it?

Are all citizens "required" to arm themselves in the U.S.?

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.

That’s actually what Hitler did.

 

[Lisa558]

So tell me….

Did the liberal PM of Australia acknowledge that this problem has been greatly exacerbated by the massive influx of Muslims into his country? And how this was only a matter of time when an Islamic cult that is brainwashed to think murdering Jews is a path to Allah leads to Jews being targeted and slaughtered?

First thing,…we slam the door shut on Muslim immigration from dangerous Islamic countries. There is no way to know who the deranged Islamics are, and the right of Jews not be murdered when out celebrating Jewish holidays supersedes the “right” of Muslims to immigrate to normal, civilized countries.

I know liberals - or my new name, MIDs* - will disagree, since, after all, we’re only talking about Jews. Now if blacks were the target, it would be different.

*Mentally Ill Democrats

 

[Lisa558]

Are all citizens "required" to arm themselves in the U.S.?

Well, as the Islamists have streamed into this country and put Jews in their crosshairs, yes….Jews are arming themselves. Even the Brooklyn Hasidism are buying them.

For others, we just make sure we have police at our Jewish celebrations now. I live in an area heavily populated by Muslims, so the risk is greater here.

 

[Crepitus]

Again... so far.

Would you like me to put all these posts in chronological order sos you can better understand?

But I'll bite...



The other slightly smarter retard. The one that doesn't have to wear a patch on their eye at dinner.

So your contention is that there are only 2 Democrats.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Yeah, but our PM can't pardon convicted felons. Can't make executive orders on a whim. And if there was a tiny, eeny weeny sniff/hint of him being retaliatory towards his political enemies, he'd be out on his arse.

Do you believe that should have happened to Biden and the other who went after Trump?

 

[Seymour Flops]

I have to wonder why there was no crime wave in the U.S. right after WWII.

These were very literally the "Weapons of War!" that liberals fear so much. The M1 Carbine was noted for its extremely high rate of fire.

Wha' hahpened?

How were mass shootings not happening all over? Especially by the American citizens of Japanese ancestry who could have become radicalized due to their inhuman treatment by FDR.

By the OP's logic, 1946 - 1968 should have been the most violent period in our nation's history.

 

[Woodznutz]

If anything people should be even more armed. If the shooter knew that EVERYONE around him was armed, he may not have done it. If everyone is armed and someone pulls a gun with intention to do a mass shooting, they'll be shot dead on the scene and rightfully so by someone around them. Without being well armed in public you are a sitting duck to criminals who are armed.

The terrorists would likely just change tactics if they knew they could only kill a few Jews before they themselves were killed; driving a vehicle into a crowd for example or setting off a bomb.

For decades 60 percent or more of Americans supported the death penalty, while at the same time state governments were doing away with it. Popular support means nothing.

California did away with public referendums because what the people wanted flew in the face of what the state government had in store for them.

You sound as if you believe only "Jews" are targets.

It's estimated that 12 Christians are killed each day for their faith in Christ. But here's how the mainstream news reports it:

"Estimates of religiously motivated killings vary widely, but it is believed that thousands of individuals from various faiths are killed each year. For example, in recent years, estimates suggest that around 3,000 to 6,000 Christians are killed annually for their faith, while similar figures exist for other religious groups, though specific numbers for Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and Muslims can be harder to determine due to varying definitions and reporting methods."

1) Don’t quote the anti-Israel Wiki to me.

2) Jews are the primary target of younMuslims at this time.

3) We need to stop the migration of your type into civilized countries.
