They mourned, they prayed, they digested their shock, and they bought guns, lots and lots of guns.

Yeah We Did!

Liberals are liberals. And even Down Under liberals...

Just. Don’t. Get it.

Pansies are a large part of the problem in western culture.

Gun grabber “logic” is so twisted it gives me a headache to hear it.

It’s like listening to impassioned victims of Stockholm Syndrome arguing desperately, and “logically,” that appeasing a kidnapper is the only way to survive.

It’s the argument of worms, not human beings.

Also FTA...

In more disturbing news, Americans will soon be able to snap up the latest firearms from the comfort of their sofas, with the launch in January of GunTV - a 24-hour weapons shopping channel.

sad. Once upon a time the Aussies were known as men. Several decades of socialism has turned too many of them into pansies and they just can’t understand how real MEN behave. Expanding problem in the Anglo phone world.

And there are real muslim threats to Australia. More all the time.

You’d think Aussies would nut up and recognize these threats. I suspect many do.

This Aussie forgets (or never knew) that American privately owned guns were sent to his British cousins to help protect England after the British army lost most of their weapons at Dunkirk-—damned good thing we have a Constitution that protects our gun ownership Rights——learn History before you run your mouth off-—WW2 vet

"America is stuck in a self-reinforcing cycle of gun violence, and things might be about to get worse."

Things ARE getting worse, and it's not because of law-abiding citizens being armed.

The shooting left the nation on edge, and it now finds itself in the same position

This dip$#!+ needs better glasses ... he sure can't see America very well.

Yeah, dummy, we're buying guns and ammunition because we have seen what stupid governments (like yours, and New York's, and California's) do to seize power given the opportunity. To hell with gun-grabbers.

Gun violence? If I remember correct, Australia has had a moslem problem also.

You know, there might be a lesson in this for the libtards somewhere. If people go into a gun buying frenzy every single time that ‘gun control’ becomes a topic of conversation, then maybe...just maybe...you might want to give the ‘gun control’ horse crap a rest and try to find a different solution.

To the author: If there is a wave of robberies, and you go buy a better lock for your door, does that make you irrational?

Oh - and you forgot to mention all the ammo to go with the purchased guns.
