Is this idiot actually serious? US, gun massacre country of the world, lecturing Australia about guns?
The US regularly has mass shootings FFS. When was the last Australian one? Port Arther, Martin Bryant, prompting Howard's gun laws as they are now. There has been none since.
How many mass shootings have there been in the US since then? Good grief man, this idiot needs to shut the fuck up.
Update:
From John Howard, ex PM, 2 days ago. I hated his gov but praise where it's due. This was one thing that he got very right, bringing in the gun laws that ended mass shootings and saved countless lives over the years.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: If you apply Senator Leyonhjelm's argument to this week's siege in Martin Place, which is presumably what's prompted him to say this, the suggestion is that if one of the hostages had been armed, in other words, had a concealed gun, they could have protected themselves against the gunman.
JOHN HOWARD: That's an example - with the deepest of respect of generalising from a particular set of circumstances - the truth is that in countries that have laxer gun laws, the likelihood of people who obtain a gun legally then using it for murderous, even terrorist purposes is much greater.
There's no country in the world that can have a system of gun licensing and registration which can guarantee that somebody who gets a licence and buys a gun in accordance with the law won't later on use that for a purpose perhaps he or she never had in mind when the gun was purchased.
It's just an exercise in logic to understand that the more guns there are in the community, the greater the likelihood of mass murder. more
Update 2:
More stupidity from the US with messages of support :s
