australian tragedy

[Hamloc]

Landdownunder you made a strong case why restricting access to guns works in Australia and why it can work in Canada too. And reasonable access for farmers and hunters can still be allowed.

Mass shootings in the US are many many times more numerous. And the Republicans side with the gun industry and gun nuts every time in opposing restrictions to access, even after little school kids die.

In Canada the Conservatives oppose more restrictions as well. But farmers and hunters will still have access to the guns they need.

No doubt you have seen the reports of arrests at Coutts Alberta this past February of a far right separatist group that was planning to kill cops because they opposed the federal and provincial government for a variety of crazy reasons.

So its a little rich for some of the usual suspects to tell us how sad they are for Austrailans during this gun tragedy but then fail to acknowledge the growing risk that extremist individuals and groups pose in our own country and in the US with much easier access to deadly weapons and the cultural of hate and violence that go with it.

Chuck2 did you read any articles on the incident before you made all your above assumptions?
The 2 Train brothers had a long history with Stacy. First Nathaniel married her just out of high school, they had 2 children. Then her and Nathaniel separated and her and Gareth(the other Train brother) became involved. The property where this occurred had been turned into a fortress of sorts, with fortified doors, underground tunnels. They had a large stash of guns. One article said they had become meth users. In final assault by police it was reported after Stacey was shot, she was on the ground still shooting at police and was then shot dead.

From what Landdownunder said the Australian government disarmed Australians in the mid nineties, sounds like in a similar fashion that Justin Trudeau is attempting to do today in Canada. Yet these 3 people still were able to arm themselves. I haven’t found whether the guns they had were legal or not. One difference between Australia and Canada, Australia is an island, Canada shares an almost 9000 km(according to Wikipedia) border with the United States.

As I said, a very tragic story. In typical left wing fashion Chuck2 you use a tragedy to attack the beliefs of those who disagree with you by looking at only a small part of the story. No lol.

I'm surprised it took him as long as it did to take the bait but at least it's his own writing.

Strange how resident conspiracy theorist's lentil's post about increase in mortality, disappeared. Those kind of posts feed the misguided minds. Those kind of conspiracy theories play into those like the truthers landownunder mentioned. Tragedies like this will become more common if no one calls out the conspiracy nonsense. Questioning public policy is fair game. Promoting fear and distrust from sites like Rumble is a dangerous game.

And what's that got to do with my private property?

As usual just more f..king lame excuses of from the pro gun crowd on Agrisilly.

Landownunder told you how Australian Conservatives dealt with the gun issue and it largely worked. And you can still go hunting and shooting all you want.

The US model of gun culture and everyone has a right to a gun whether they are mentally stable or not is exactly how not to deal with gun violence.

And yet many of you can't see the problem after almost weekly mass shootings and on a tragic scale that is unbelievable and unprecedented in a modern developed country.

Apparently you have not read the original posts.

I've always wondered what percentage of the illegal guns coming in to Canada come through Mohawk territory that the boarder runs through.

Does evey legal gun owner suffer because they are basicly a sovereign nation an like the wild west? Untouchable?

Get rid of ALL of them then.
