Gotta love the downvotes.

Q. Has change ever happened without violence

A. Yes look at Gandhi

Lemmy downwotes, no explanation given but obviously doesn't fit the narrative

Guns are certainly not as abundant as you write in your first comment. Or abundant at all

Edit: oh wait you are not even the guy I was replying to. So you just came here to add nothing, make a wrong statement and insult me. How about you wait until next year, go through that history class yourself, and then you can tell us what you think about how Australia managed to implement gun control? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/15/it-took-one-massacre-how-australia-made-gun-control-happen-after-port-arthur

Ah yes city of Sydney now wants wider footpaths accessible to everyone

Besides that I hope the plan goes through. Coming from Europe I was shocked at how car centric sydney was 10 years ago. Got a smidge better after making George St trams and pedestrians only but still a long way to go

No shit a shooting club is packed with people with a gun.

Doesn't mean Australia is packed with guns just because you see a handful of idiots down the road, that is not representative of the whole population. As you said heavily regulated, there's virtually no guns besides farms and the club down the road from you. Quick search puts AU at 14.5 guns per 100 population. Quite low in the list and well below civilised places like Canada, Switzerland and many eu countries.

What people on reddit and lemmy don't seem to understand is that the shock caused by ONE mass shooting, port Arthur, and the policies introduced as a consequence shifted a country that was similar to the US in terms of gun ownership to become similar to a western European country. Ie guns are virtually non existent (unless you leave next door from a shooting range, apparently that needs to be made clear).

Some people are just paranoid and feel the need to be armed.

Yep idiots. In a normal country wouldn't be allowed to own a deadly weapon. Maybe I am pushing it a bit too far because all other countries have hunters and a tiny fraction of the population with a good reason to own a firearm, but gun owners are idiots is a food enough approximation.

Also, you can store a nuclear weapon safely in a house doesn't mean any idiot should have one.

Maybe you are right but you know what? I know maybe a dozens people who owned a multipla (mostly fiat employees or had access to discounts). None of them ever thought it looked good, or that it was cool.

Edit: i should also add, for those who will look up this monstrosity, also check out the original fiat 600 multipla from the 1950s. That might work as eye bleach

I thought that was the back of the car and thr horns facing backwards didn't make any sense, until I realised where the rear view mirror are and that that's the bonnet. What the actual fuck, 4 years old me did draw something similar a long time ago.

Actually it seems that the primary use is suicides and mass shootings

More Intelligent parents probably wouldn't have guns at home in the first place you sure this is going to change anything?

No we don't. And that was the solution to the problem, take rid of them

And isn't the border between Russia and Finland something like 1300km long? Good luck covering all that even if the majority of the Russian army weren't needed in Ukraine or, you know, dead.

It is botulism. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/botulism

Only if you are from the US. Everyone else is just nodding, thinking about time someone said that, and moving on

It's selsius

And the marketing, the ceo's bonus, logistics..

How can you manage to spell Fahrenheit right but Celsius wrong?

I just read the last word as "charger". Time for bed

LOL fine, me and the other neighbours at some point will stop worrying and telling you you have a leaking pipe, and will start laughing at you calling us simpletons while your kitchen floods and you do nothing

Look I'm sorry it's just that I argue about gun control in the US a lot and you wouldn't believe the bullshit I have to read.

Checkout my comments. Since we started, I had to deal, in another thread, that guns in the US cannot be banned or farmers would be robbed. And another person is trying to argue that if there weren't guns, you'd be riddled with acid attacks like Europe, apparently, is.

In fairness you make some good points about issues in the States. It's just that you mix up things a bit too much and you make it all a bit conspiracy. Keep it simple, work on limiting access to the thing that is used for shooting, and you might see a reduction in, well, shootings.

Other countries have done it. I know you think it's not the same, but it's not like you are working on a better solution anyway, might be worth a try?

Of course, of course you guys are special. Want to go check your water mains now or continue this rant that no one can understand you?
