WOW 30 people killed in shootings in Australia between 1996 and may 4, 2018 when the WORST MASS MURDER in Australia since 1996 occured (in a murder/suicide a farmer killed himself, his wife, daughter and 4 grandchildren). Yes sir, tell the families from Sandy hook, Orlando, Las Vegas, and Fort Lauderdale that it is Australia with the gun problem, not us.  You really are an idiot if you think that post advances your argument when the Australian reality is put up against the reality of what is happening in America!  Give me a break, even taking the population into account we have more gun murders in America in 2 weeks than Australia had had in 23 years!!  It ain't rocket science to see they have done something right, but it is obviously  politically impossible for the American rightwing to admit it.

Now, if you want to argue that Australia and the US have similar problems with stabbings, arson and hit and run maybe we can agree, but as to gun violence ...fahgid aboud it!
