Well, since no one would dare “torture” them, they have little reason to stop being vicious criminals.

Am I wrong or does that black flag look a little familiar?

The reports say that hostages are being forced to hold ISIS flag.

That’s IMPOSSIBLE!

Australia is a gun free zone!

Good thing Australia has gun control. If these “gunmen” had real guns, someone could get hurt.

Chocolate enemas would fix that, maybe some
chocolate boarding too.

Australia will now learn son hard lessons. Their gun ban could very well reverse itself.

Unfortunately; the logic employed by the leftist gun-grabbers is that incidents like this are precisely why they 'need' strict gun-control, and that even stricter gun-control would have prevented this. Of course; they will completely overlook the true cause of this, which is the so-called 'religion of peace'. If anyone dares to point that out, they will be branded 'racist' (even though islam is not a race, so I am not sure how that applies)

I believe they did away with autoloading long guns. I remember reading at one point that shotgun owners would be able to exchange their auto shotguns for a Beretta Over/Under at Gov’t expense. Don’t know if that came to pass, but personally I’d take a good O/U shotgun over an autoloader any day of the week, but that’s just me.

What a unique viewpoint you have. You should be made editor-in-chief of the NYT./s

Oh wait, he's an Amish guy too; you're probably not qualified.

Any country still pimping gun confiscation for the Muzzies and commies needs its @$$ kicked. They are putting the lives of their innocent civilians at risk.

Prayers for Australia, I was always afraid of this day coming.

Every one talks about Port Arthur , but ISIS doesn't care about that.

Let's Pray this isn't Australia's Madrid Train Bombing.
