Don't give me this exploiting tragedy for politics nonsense, that's ALL the antis ever do. He should double down and tweet again, pointing out their ghoulish hypocrisy since these idiots apparently need it spelled out for them.

I don't know about that, have you seen the way some people shoot, probably more people would have ended up dead from being shot than mowed down by this twat.

I guess I have to ask.What were the cops aiming at when they hit him in the arm? And also the reports said "gunshots".Did some go astray?Tough situation I know but...
Thoughts?

For me if you want to stop firearm deaths and the theft of them there is a simple solution.
Anyone found guilty of intentionally shooting someone and causing serious injury or death. Sentences should be, mandatory,
Serious injury. 20 yrs. No early release.
Murder. Death by public guillotine.
No excuses like I was on drugs or wife was f***ing my mate.
Just one public guillotining and half the unregistered firearms will be in the local bay.
Murder with knives, poison etc hanging in prison. Again mandatory if found guilty.

THis bloke had done some real bad s**t leading up to what happened in the city and it was a case of him knowing he was going away for a long time so in his sick mind he decided he would go with a bang.
