When you ban firearms, knives become the problem or Jihadists use trucks
I looked up once. Australians have along history of killing one another - often in groups, such as families - with fists, knives, fire is a favorite, hammers, vehicles...all kinds of things. You know what they don't kill one another with all that often? Guns.
All it took was one incident of a mass shooting, and the Australians acted like leftist chicks who'd never seen a gun before suddenly confronted with one. They freaked out. When their increasingly totalitarian government (gee, I wonder why /sarc.) suggested they turn in their guns, the vast majority of the population lifted up their skirts and ran to the nearest collection point.
7 people; 5 women and 1 man included, plus at least one wounded; a baby whose mother died to protect it.
You know what stopped the mass murderer - who was known to the police, by the way, which suggests that it may have been a "newcomer" to Australia - a female cop with a gun.
Yet, if you read the headlines, they would have you believe that knives and guns were involved in this jiha...er, murder spree with no known motive. By a man who was known to authorities.
