Not gun culture...THUG CULTURE

[Da Coyote]

And, if Australians plan to visit Obama’s type of cities, they should well not plan on a visit.

However, there are still vestiges of civilization here...albeit rapidly diminishing. However, they should remember that we now have a “Department of Just Us” which has displayed all the honesty and morality of past Detroit mayors.

Perhaps they should wait until after CW-II. Things could be cleaned up a bit afterwards.

[Secret Agent Man]

CRIMINAL CULTURE, THUG CULTURE, CULTURE OF DEATH.

Not law abiding gun owners.

The aussies you’ve disarmed and are now suffering under your own aussie thug culture scream their total disagreement to this nutjob politician.

[txmissy]

“Gun Control” would not have prevented this crime. His statement has zero relevance.

[PATRIOT1876]

Most of the Australians that I’ve come in contact with are smarter than this dim bulb

[redreno]

Two Aussie friends that I met at Burning Man, should be here in a few hours. They can’t wait for me to show them how to shoot.

[Resolute Conservative]

I have never cared what any other country thinks about mine and never will.

[goodnesswins]

Seems politicians the world wide are DUMBER than the majority, and just barely more intelligent than the THUGS they protect.

[Slyfox]

They should blame the kids coming out of school who have learned how to think as a psychopath and the schooling that taught it to them.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Gaffer~:" Thug culture seeks to use guns to create terror, get revenge, and destroy society."

We already have domestic terrrorism called : thugs and gangs !
DHS is 'protecting '(??) us from foreign terrorists by crotch grabbing , and pat-downs.(they haven't stopped a single attack)
While the FED govt. is suing NYC for 'Stop and Frisk', which has been proven successful among the domestic terrorist street gangs.
What was up is now down; and what was down is now up.
Go figure !

[MondoQueen]

In countries like Australia they can have strict gun laws because the people in those countries are law-abiding citizens. Not so in cities like Chicago. Who are the ones using guns in drive-by shootings? Not the law-abiding citizens.

[cripplecreek]

Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear UK beats up on Americans on the show but actually loves America largely because of the guns. Last winter he was in Florida sending twitter pics of himself firing a 50 cal machine gun to Piers Morgan just to tweak Morgan.

[dfwgator]

Aussie Gun Control Laws couldn’t prevent this.

[Slings and Arrows]

“The U.S. has chosen the pathway of illogical policy with regard to guns,” Australia’s former deputy prime minister Tim Fischer said Friday. “They cannot expect not to have any criticism of it worldwide.”

Criticize it all you want to. Just don't expect us to care.

[oldenuff2no]

What they should avoid is where our feral black Americans roam free uninhibited by parental supervision, morals or ethics and where there is a total lack of effective policing and political leadership.
Oakland, Philadelphia, and Chicago are a few of the places where the gun control laws are extreme yet the feral blacks are regularly on killing sprees. Another way to spot these dangerous areas is to look at the political leadership. If democrats have been the base of power at the city, county, and state level for a long period of time then it is an automatic that it is a high poverty and high homicide area. Visitors from overseas should also realize that there are many black on white attacks and homicides that our media will not report accurately. Hate crimes by blacks seem to be almost condoned by our media's lack of reporting and by our federal government's complete lack of comment or action. That is just how it works in the good old USA.

[cripplecreek]

Gangs really piss me off because our government officials have legitimized them and pandered to them causing them to grow and spread like they were some kind of legitimate social club.

[silverleaf]

can’t blame an aussie for being clueless about rasist thug culture

[backwoods-engineer]

senior figure in the victim’s home country blamed the “gun culture” of United States for the death

Then STAY THE HELL ON YOUR SIDE OF THE PLANET! And leave us the hell alone!

I am so sick of these ninnies telling US what to do!

[tumblindice]

Save the bollocks and chillax, Tim. It's a gang--not a gun--problem.

[Pecos]

No, Mr. Fischer. The problem is not guns. The problem is thugs knowing that they stand little chance of actually serving time for blatantly killing someone. Or if they do go to jail, it won’t be for long, and the government will make sure that it doesn’t affect their future. Socialism - just like in Australia.
