Stupidity knows no bounds. First, this was the first mass shooting in Australia in 30 years. Second, if the murderers had had AR-15s, the number of deaths would have bern closer to 150 than 15. Third, the US in 2025 has had far more than one mass shooting a day. Go away.
If you ban “assault weapons,” a mass murderer will just use shotguns & bolt action rifles. If you ban shotguns & bolt actions, a killer will use a knife, a bomb, or a car. Nothing will stop a determined mass murderer—except an armed civilian or armed police officer.
