What are the gun laws in Australia? Were they altered in the past? Did they result in different results?

Why shouldn't it be political? When people die, we should always ask why it is and what we can do to prevent it, so ofcourse it's political.

with a knife? maybe kill 2 and wound like 10.

Guns def. make matters worse, and its way to easy in the US to get one apparently, since you guys have so many mass shootings.

I can tell you're being ironic and sarcastic!
Well! You obviously have never heard of ninjas.

Shocking, wish all the best for families and friends victim to this.

Controlling Guns would have made no difference. People like this would have planned this a long time ago and would have equiped themselves off the Black Market. So in other words, take guns away from people, this event would have still happened.

In Australia people still get there hands on Guns and knifes etc. Only way to reduce the problem is by heavy secuity.

You will never get any control whatsoever if you don't start somewhere. Saying that the problem is to big and therefore nothing should be done to regulate sales is to give up. Australia is a great example of the effects from gun control. Also, people don't need guns to defend themselves, arming everyone just causes more and more violence instead.

There was another mass shooting, smaller, shooting that just happened in the US.

3 of the 5 have died.

So let's simply allow everyone to own every kind of weapon: atomic bombs, tanks, warplanes, you name it.

After all, people will always find ways and weapons to kill others, right?

Oh yeah, that was another withered looking 60+ year old man as well wasn't it? With his switch blade. Honestly people there is no way that person would have killed the number he did without the weapon he used, even the bomb in the concert in manchester killed far less people.

Also the argument of "maybe he didn't buy the automatic rifle himself because only X amount of people in the US are allowed those guns" okay.... so someone else was able to walk into a store and buy it and then illegally sell it to this person, the chain of the gun getting into this old fuckers hands still doesn't exist in other countries as easily as it does in the US.

Of course, the best way to stop a bad guy with a nuke is a good guy with a nuke.
