They should put this guy on the watch list.
You can pry my knife from my cold dead hands. . . . . .
Australia has a different legal system and political culture. So, if they like gun control, they can have it. But, to say that our right to own a gun is responsible for that young man’s death is to discount the real reason for this crime — evil. The thugs who killed this nice young man were evil. The gun had no responsibility for the crime. These creeps could have just as easily killed the victim using their car, a tire iron, a baseball bat, a knife, a rock etc. None of those inanimate objects would have been responsible in that case either. It was the evil thugs who took the young man’s life who are solely responsible. If the Australian politician were to blame the thug culture that surrounded these criminals or lack of parenting, etc. he would have some justification for his comments, but lashing out at an inanimate object and our 2nd Amendment right makes no sense at all.
I completely agree with your claim about the lack of statistical authority of Mr. Fisher’s statement. I am an Australian and believe that not only is the guy misguided but he’s totally moronic for urging a boycott of the U.S.A.
To argue it was guns that were to blame for the Oklahoma murder and not the criminals themselves is ridiculous and somewhat perplexing given that Fisher was a member of the Liberal Party / National Party coalition (these are our conservative parties).
Gee, if only you lived in a gun free country like Australia you would have no crime. Australia has some of the most Draconian gun laws in the world but the funny thing is that we have these teeny tiny little problems called murder, rape, robbery, drugs, bashings and they’re happening every day all over our country. Weird thing is that loads of our criminals are armed - go figure Mr. Fisher??
