this from jan 20 ( 8 days after the first article )

here is no deterrent to the culture of gun possession that grips many young men of ethnic background in southwest Sydney. And it is a culture. It is not a "spike" or a "peak" in crime statistics. It is a culture that is here to stay. Make no mistake about that.
Just six weeks ago in December, the head of the Bureau of Crime Statistics, Don Weatherburn, reported a 20 per cent rise in drive-by shootings for 2011. He also pointed out that the 88 shooting incidents were "largely contained" to just four police divisions in metropolitan Sydney.
Since January 1, there have been some 13 drive-by shootings and if the trend continues, Sydney could be heading for a record year in shooting incidents unless something is done quickly.
It will take a decade or more to make meaningful inroads into this culture, and that will come only when gangsters see their associates disappear into the prison system courtesy of mandatory sentencing on gun-related crimes.
but i'm just a Aussie eh , i only live here and see whats happened and had to move because of it but because all that dolnt agree with your thinking, i'm wrong
ha ha ha ha your so screwed eh ..
now by removing all the ethnic crime to not offend one group they can move those items to hate crimes and lower shooting deaths etc , honour killings here got renamed to cultural occasion deaths , nice eh
What is missing from American gun laws is personal accoutability for the guns that you own. Also you can't get a gun if you can't prove you need a gun.
Australia had this same problem and solved it. Here's how........
Although didn't Australia have the White Australia policy until the mid 70's...?
Wasn't the intent to keep Australia Lilly-white?
Meanwhile, on Canada the UK etc., well here's a map
See if we can spot the states with the least stringent gun controls, and the most. You'll notice that several states have lower murder rates than Canada, and a couple have lower murder rates than even Australia. So which states are they...?
well, since washinton dc is not a state and it was taken out of the equation, I wonder how high our murder rate per 100k would be then.
A tyrannical government takeover, oh dear what an absolute laugh you gun fondlers are, think you are going to take on the US Marines, believe they will be using only 9 mils and M16s ?
Ah there is nothing like a group of idiots calling themselves are militia when one is crewing a M240, ah the song as the link goes through it.
Australia was a prison colony, and did not start out as the 13 English colonies we did, and never revolted and so never had any RIGHTS... So far as i know they still have no Rights....
And you nor the US Govt can take anyone's Rights..
You can try, but you could die trying..
In stead of making a poor attempt to rationalize the loss of our Rights which isn't going to happen, why not debate what to do with mental defectives who commit these crimes instead.
That would make better sense.
No matter how many laws you make, no matter what happens with guns, the problem will not stop until we deal with the mental defectives period...
You gun grabbers are arguing the wrong problem... And an argument you can't win.

We have Rights you never had..... Maybe if you read the CONS you would find out why the Armed forces can not be used against it's own people. Maybe if you read the Declaration of Independence you would know why we have the 2nd too..
Should anything be regulated? Should we have any laws at all? After all, if criminals will always get illegal guns, and criminals will always commit crimes, why even bother writing laws at all?
There will also always be criminals who get away, so maybe we shouldn't have police either.
Owning a gun shouldn't be illegal because owning a gun is done without causing any harm to any other person. Crimes are crimes because of the harm they cause. Owning a gun causes no one harm. Why do you want to criminalize an act that harms no one?

I am sick of schooling you gun grabbin lefty's.
Why don't you go back to NZ anyway...
Strange that dear boy when it came to a war between those who wanted to keep slavery and those who did not the armed forces on BOTH sides were used.
A piece of paper will not stop the Marines, but it will be popcorn time for the rest of us.
