They said he used "a high-calibre rifle". I assume this means a 50bmg.

[bigrich]

disturbing . i wonder if he was licensed ?

[Robin]

They said he used "a high-calibre rifle". I assume this means a 50bmg.

The media said high-calibre rifle, it could be a .22lr and the media would still say high-calibre, the media has a habit of twisting stories to get the best rating and this time its going for fear.

Yeah it was probably an old ruger 10/22 or something like that. Still very terrible incident. it has every media buzzword.

Those QLD cops killed, The VIC cops shot dead. Now a so called random shooting spree in NSW. All 3 shootings I assumed used unregistered guns.

yup, but it's licensed gun owners who'll probably pay for it

100% man. It always is the lawful who pay the price. That's why I like Americas approach. They do not allow the innocent to pay the price for the actions of the wicked.

Blackstone's formulation = "Better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer"

We shouldn't compare ourselves to America. The frequency of mass shootings there, especially in schools, clearly signals a need for change. But we're not the USA — we're Australia, and I'd like to think we handle these issues with more common sense. That said, it's the actions of a few reckless individuals that risk setting us back. The media will inevitably amplify fear among non-gun owners, pushing for sweeping changes. What we really need is a balanced response — one that shows we're responsible and capable of handling this issue without losing who we are.

I disagree. I reckon Americas approach is the best. Their approach seems like common sense to me. Nobody should lose their personal liberty due to the actions of others. Not just guns. This goes for fireworks, firecrackers and every other thing that has been banned in our stupid nanny state federation.

Should I cut my penis off to stop rape? No. So why should my guns be banned if I have not committed a crime? It is such a stupid argument punishing innocent people for a crime they have not committed.

[Wapiti]

You are absolutely the correct one here, Rich.
Anything other than the American approach of personal responsibility results in more theft, more restrictions and history shows us, always, it NEVER ends.

There is NO point in history where ANY restrictions here have not continued to take away property off the real people, and eventually chain them up with others actions and insanity. It is a deliberate march to totalitarianism, and those agreeing with it and falling for the lies are the reason we suffer this sh*t now.

[womble]

Americans have a lot more experience in this than us. Not like they haven’t tried different approaches.
Ultimately you have to accept that bad people will do bad things, by one means or another.
How’s the machete ban improving everyone’s lives in Victoria. Entirely ineffective in addressing the problem.
The only people who will suffer for it are honest people copping fines from a ranger, for using one camping prepping firewood or similar.
200,000 dollar fine for that.

America has actually reduced crime in some cities by permitting honest law abiding people conceal carry.
That ends your mugging problem pretty swiftly. Because the deterrent is in real time. Instantaneous .

You keep banning things , you keep deregulating them for criminal enterprise.
Inevitably you end up with a society that’s run by criminals. Where they hold all the power and influence.
We’re well on our way there.

[womble]

ABC is reporting he wasn’t licensed.

Hopefully that’s correct.

It’s not really getting the sensationalism anticipated. Could have been one of their own who lost the plot. Speculating.

But they’ve ruled out terrorism, extremism, mental health problems history.

Maybe he just wanted the police to come and shoot him.

There is one person in critical condition still though.

[alexjones]

The bloke is some kind of Greek judging by his name. Weird how this news story is not getting a big of a media beat up as you would think it would. He must be connected to some so called elite somehow.

Agreed. I bet the guardian persecutes gun owners hard for the next month or so though.

the guardian when do those leftie lunatics ever stop ! . i do read their articles though . "know thy enemy"

read some absolute clap trap article recently about unbelievable numbers of firearms stolen , notably lots of rifles from farms. so they reckon .one of the most blatant pieces of propaganda i've ever read . unfortunately a lot of the general public would believe it

[ederlezi]

Media have been mentioning a ".30 cal" rifle. It covers a lot. From Russia to the US. I also believe either the guy didn't want to kill (only one seriously injured). Other wounded are because of glass shattered. Or he was a pretty bad shooter. 100 rounds shot with a ".30 cal". You would expect a much higher toll. Or as it has been said, he just wanted to be shot by the cops.

[ederlezi]

Also, 2 hours to be stopped after 50 / 100 rounds have been fired sounds very unexpected to me.

Unbelievable isn’t it. But apparently so. Like nobody bothered to call the cops and report it.

[womble]

I can’t find the footage on line but he definitely had a semi auto. But it was shown on the news on the idiot box.
And it did sound 30cal.
He was plugging moving cars 3 or 4 hits.

This is the bloke. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-06/alleged-croydon-park-sydney-inner-west-shooter-charged/105859136

This is super weird. He’s just some random happy old grandpa . Train driver. No history or links to anything.
This is MK ultra level weird.
No firearms licence or history and suddenly a 30 cal semi auto just pops into his hands and he starts shooting at the public.

Train drivers do have to undergo psychological assessments

And now you already have pretty much all corporate media treating it like old news. Just going to go quiet so we all forget about it and move on.

This is some weird ass sh1t.

This bloke is a sleeper. He got programmed, who knows when or where. And then 2 days ago something switched him on.

And the time frame when this was actually occurring. Basically hoddle street 2.0, like Australia’s worst nightmare.
Where’s the media then. Where’s the live on scene and constant updates on every channel.

And this is the first time ever they haven’t used “high power assault rifle” and it literally was a 30 cal semi auto.
No mention of it.

MK ultra . now there's a weird topic to look at . scary part is it's true . anyway , back on topic, from what you've said about the rifle being semi auto, at a guess i'd say this fella got his hands on a sks . maybe he had it pre '96 and just hung onto it . if it's a M1 carbine i'd debate the "high powered" tag from the media . it'd kill yeah, but a 30 carbine is no 308win .
maybe train drivers are our version of deranged US postal workers

Better headline to draw in readers

[Wapiti]

SKS or SKK? They are .30 cal, and there are 100's of 1000's of rounds stashed out there from prior '96. Ask anyone with a legal farm revolver in .30 carbine how difficult ammo is to get from a gunshop, let alone black market.
These cheap rubbish Chicom SKS/K things are stashed everywhere still.

[alexjones]

Yeah a lot of houses in Queensland would have an sks stashed somewhere. Those bad boys are everywhere.

[straightshooter]

If my memory serves me correctly, Customs had records of in excess of 400,000 SKS and SKK's being imported and the buy back saw less than 200,000 being handed in.

[womble]

Not many were surrendered during the buy back.
And there's import records for them.
So they're somewhere.

[womble]

If my memory serves me correctly, Customs had records of in excess of 400,000 SKS and SKK's being imported and the buy back saw less than 200,000 being handed in.

650 thousand in total handed in

Estimated 300 thousand unaccounted for.

[bigrich]

a mate told me of a major import stuff up back in the day. there was a batch of sks that made it into the country with "select fire" lever on the action . bet none of those got handed in
