  As an American, the craziest thing about that story is that Australia changed their gun laws after that happened. Imagine a government taking reasonable action to save lives… Wild.

    One must entertain the notion that maybe this was intentionally perpetrated to bring about those laws, disarm the general populace.

    Could have been a lone gunman psycho.

    Could have been a planned event, psy-op.

      Like all the car crashes that now require us to get a driver’s license…; can’t mow down the government if you’re trained on the rules of the road!

      People can’t just use tools that impact the lives of others outside themselves in peace; smdh…

        While trying to be a smartass, you are unintentionally correct. Fun fact, driver’s licenses weren’t always required to operate a vehicle. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

        Smdh…indeed

        We now live in cages, carefully crafted by laws & legislation over time. I am never shocked or surprised when governing powers place laws on commoners, anything to put their boot on our neck, nail down our identity for verification, or most importantly extract money from our bank accounts to give to the state to be wasted.

        Smdh.

      No, one doesn’t have to entertain any such notion. And, one speaking like a monk doesn’t make one sound mysterious or intelligent…

      What you’re essentially saying is, we should let something terrible continue to happen, causing many real people (often children) to actually die, because some people are paranoid about something that isn’t happening… In reality, government’s need they’re civilians. Especially in late-stage capitalist societies were civilians act as value generators or cannon fodder for the ruling class. The more people they have to feed into their profit machines, the better.

      There are many counter arguments to the sentiment you shared that show how silly your stance is. I won’t waste my time writing all of them because I think you’re too steeped in your own soup to consider anything that counters what you already believe.
