Martin Bryant was his name

That's such an American name.

He had a severe mental disorder

His bedroom was full of fluffy toys and he lived with his parents IIRC

aw buddy

He was like a child

furry before it was a thing

lol

he was a furry before it was cruel

Oh wow, that hair

thats where he keeps his gun

woven into those gorgeous waves of hair are his legally disassembled gun parts and attachments

"Further testing following his arrest indicated a verbal I.Q. of 64 and non-verbal reasoning and cognitive functioning of 68, giving a full scale I.Q. of 66, an age equivalent of 11 years in the 10th percentile (90% of 11-year-olds would score higher)."

I wonder if he washed his own hair or if his parents did it

I'm tired of people shaping society to accommodate the lowest common denominator

probably his mom did it, while he played with bath toys

This is one of those conspiracy things that is worth a listen to

People have suggested that this shooting was orchestrated by someone else and he was slapped with the blame for it because of how low IQ he was

The gun shot parts are what I find the most interesting

It sounds near him, but he is on the phone, if he were him shooting it'd be louder I'd assume.

pump action / semi automatic shotguns are illigel?

Except for like 10 people per state who have been approved by the state police chief as someone who runs one of the major animal culling businesses

There was an Australian on YouTube who used to show his guns and he had one these special licenses but his license was revoked because they said they did not like him showing guns on YouTube and acting like they were a good thing or whatever

i can't remember their exact words

so ar15 are ok but no pump action shotguns?

no

it means semi-auto's of all kinds AND pump actions are illegal

semi-auto shotguns, rifles, etc

except handguns

but they are in a different class of license

Also another weird rule I heard of is that they if you have land you can shoot a shoot gun or rifle on it right? But handguns are only legally allowed to be used at a shooting range

That’s retarded, but what do you expect from a nation that was founded by convicts

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

and despite these laws, the Sydney Siege was an Islamic terrorist who held hostages in a cafe and killed people with a pump action shotgun

illegally owned

But I remember Radion saying if it doesn't have a stock it's technically an handgun, so can you just get the stock off and than it's ok?

that was in 2016

Radeon is speaking about US laws though right?

What laws are you speaking of?

Australia literally has lists of specific guns you are not allowed to own at all

^

I was talking about Australian laws

Having a list actually makes more sense

You can have more nuance this way

Well they outlaw types and also specify certain guns as well

hence the ban on semi-auto, pump action all together

they also have a law about not being able to buy any gun that has been used by any military world wide within x number of years

Does that include handguns?

The military owned part

just rifles

Then there are certain calibers that are also outlawed

im guessing that make the available alternatives more expensive?

no surplus?

From what I seen there yeah, everything is very expensive

So basically anything that useful for anything other than sports

And I count hunting with that

Well yeah, owning a gun for protection is illegal there idk if you saw the picture of the news article from Australia after their law change before

Oh yeah I saw that

So hunting and sports are considered their only "valid reasons" for applying for a license and going through the written and physical tests

does that count protection from wildlife?

If you own over a certain amount of land or have the permission on it, you can fire rifles and shotguns on the land but you can't for anywhere else

That includes shooting pest animals on that land

they also have limits on magazine size

I think the lower class license is 5rd mag and the other class is 10rd mag

For like bolt actions

thats an affront to my right to have terrible aim

lmao

and like lever action shotguns also have a limit

I think it 8

IIRC

could be 5 though

I remember hearing about a whole load of shit from there of the government trying to ban this specific brand of lever action shotgun calling it "new rapidfire technology" and owners were modifying it to get like an extra 2 rounds in it or something

(it was just a regular lever action shotgun btw)

i'd hate to be in a country where apartments have to have bearproof trash bins and not have whatever firepower i thought necessary

i wonder if theres a way to show a lack of corellation between the advent of highpowered weapons = hella more murders

thats what they are complaining about

it's a f†††ing Duck Hunt gun

lol

The only difference between it and other lever actions that were already in Australia was that it held a couple more rounds, afaik

so it's a mandatory cooldown. like in a videogame

They seemed to miss the part where lever actions have been around since the late 1800's

"new rapidfire technology"

lol

cutting edge as f

🤣

this is so retarded

I just visted an Aussie gun website the other day

And they were selling lever-actions

And I was all 'yay I should buy one'

Also, from an Oz GC website:

I find it 'interesting' they would use such a graph

considering it shows that TAS passed new gun laws in 1992

When the massacre happened in 1996

And it also only lists firearm homicide rather than homicide in general, although perhaps we're not supposed to notice that
