    The funny part is all the people from Australia that would make fun of America's lack of gun ban every time there was a mass shooting here that are now saying "Can you guys please keep the jokes and politics out of this tragedy? Have some respect."

    The article says that this was Australia's worst shooting in 2 decades. 6 dead for a US mass shooting wouldn't even crack the top 100.

    Australia has 24 million people, the US has 345 million. Not to mention the shitload of other differences.
    Difference #1, the second amendment.
    Amendments were meant to be amended!!!!!!! Like Slavery!!!!!!

    Compare gun deaths per 100,000 people between here and every other non-shithole country. We lose easily.

    Sounds like there may be a niche for fast strategy shit hole gun runnin.

    So which ones shall we amend? 1st? 4th? 5th? 10th? The first ten were not meant to be amended.

    The 2nd was meant to amend the government!

    If you don't like the comparison then take it up with Race. He started the the thread.
    But I do like this comparison, because it isn't about making a comparison at all. It's about exposing people who don't want to use consistent logic... i.e. people who use every shooting in America as a reason why we should adopt a gun ban like Australia.

    So if it happens in Australia, then yeah we get to flip the tables. We never wanted the tables in the first place, but the libs brought them anyway so now we have to flip them.
    That's a long winded way to say that it's about sticking it to liberals. It would be more of a table flip if this guy shot up an elementary school or a Keith Urban concert using non-semi firearms. Mass shootings is one of the few gun related stats that I think make sense to benchmark against other 1st worlds. If this is Australia's worst mass shooting in 2 decades then it speaks volumes about how fucked the current US situation is.

    It's about sticking it to liberals. And boy do they ever deserve it.

    Take Chicago gang shootings out and we probably look pretty good.
    I've heard that argument before. I don't really know the numbers well enough and I'm too lazy to research right now (plus my comp is fucked). It's probably a lot better, but a) Chicago, Detroit etc. are still part of the US and b) some countries are still probably far ahead of us minus violent cities.

    Spend a dark rainy night in Rio to get some perspective.
