Shooting In Gun-Free Australia Leaves ‘At Least Two Dead’
Breitbart ^ | 3 Oct 2015 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 10/03/2015 12:21:04 PM PDT by Hoodat

On October 2–just one day after Obama suggested an Australian-like gun ban might be the way forward for America–a gunman opened fire outside a daycare by State Crime Command in Sydney, Australia. Fox News reports “at least two are dead.”

Details are scant, but The Sydney Morning Herald reports that “the gunman, who one witnessed said was dressed in a black gown, opened fire on a police IT worker outside the State Crime Command, which houses some of the state’s top detectives, in Parramatta at 4.35pm on Friday.”

Parramatta real estate agent Edwin Almeida heard shots and looked out the window, where he “saw a man in a black gown pacing and waving a gun outside the police centre.” He said “his frightened staff ran into their office and heard three to four gun shots.”

An officer at the State Crime Command said officials had detected increased “chatter,” leading them to believe an attack was coming. He said “every officer had been ordered to wear their guns on them at all times this week, even while at their desks.” . . .

If one has a heavy rifle, is out of ammo, and has SCA heavy fighting experience...

“Guns don’t kill people.”

Steel butt plate on a WW1 or WW2 rifle will do the job

"man in a black gown"

Must be a Tea Party member dressed formally for the 4 o'clock.

John Lott was on the Mark Levin show yesterday. He mentioned that Australia’s arms situation in terms of numbers were back to status quo ante with regard to the government buy back.

I guess the show is available on his podcast,

I would have used the Mosin m44 or SKS with folding bayonets (good zombie rifles) as an example, but then liberals would ban bayonets. haha.

Criminals... right!

“shooting of a NSW Police Force employee in Parramatta will focus on how the lone 15-year-old, FARHAD KHALIL MOHAMMED JABAR, could have been radicalized”

IT’S A BIRTH RIGHT IN ISLAM!

Long black gown? Perhaps a poor mohammaden refugee flleeing violence and strife in a war torn land, given sanctuary in Oz and now completing his mission of jihad?

It’s not the guns that need to be criminalized, its the muslims shooting them.

Last two shootings in the media are by muslims.

Islam needs to be criminalized.

It’s not really gun free but highly restricted.

Islam should be banned in civilized countries. It is incompatible with a free and open society.

Shut down the mosques and deport all Muslims.

I remember seeing video of some poor Australian guy who was attacked by a lunatic in a road rage incident. He kept frantically calling the police as the nut tried to break out his windshield, and it took the cops forever to arrive. If the man had been armed, he could have protected himself instead of being at the mercy of a dangerous nut.
