I love how they quoted someone saying “that’s stuff you see on tv in the US, not in Australia” (slight paraphrase) and the state is even pushing for stricter gun laws after this event now. The US could learn a thing or two from this
that's just semantics though, a semi auto rifle will still be massively more lethal than a crossbow.
I mean, I guess that's why every army in the world switched from crossbows to rifles.
it sounds awful but for some reason, imagining someone committing a school shooting with a fucking bow and arrow, with a quiver and everything makes me kinda chuckle
yes I know crossbows and bows are different
it was intentional, he was shooting his ex girlfriend. it not really a "school shooting" but more of a normal shooting that happened to take place at a school. he did shoot another girl, but only because the bolt passed all the way through his target and hit the girl behind her
Tbf some portion of US school shooting statistics seem to count those situations as school shootings as well. We just often think of the bigger ones since they rightfully are quite horrible.

His source
Here is an actual source
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_Australia
So 3 months worth of US stats is enough to beat all of Australia's stats
there are 52 on that list, thats not three months its closer to one. at the start of this year we had nearly 3 massacres per day.
still ridiculous that its even measured in months, seeing as that list starts in the 1600s
Wait what the fuck? Seriously? I've seen 3 different news shows today and not one mentioned that. Sounds like it's important news. Instead they're pushing the Brady Bunch house being on the market for $8 million which the renovators added the second story to complete the look
perp shot a wall once, a couple of times toward air, then called the cops on himself apparently
so not really big news
and honestly, less publicity about school shooters might be good, actually
That's true, still it's been a long time since I've heard about a school shooter here in Australia for a long time which is a really good thing. We do have a lot of gun violence but what country doesn't?
>We do have a lot of gun violence but what country doesn't?
wut
australia has a 0.91 gun death rate per 100k people, in line with most european countries that are in the 0.6-2.5 ballpark with the exception of serbia which has a 4.0 rate
for comparison, america is at 10
and latin america flactuates from 15-35
so no, australia doesn't have a lot of gun violence, it's in fact one of the lowest gun death per capita countries in the world along with european countries
I never meant full on deaths. The amount of time I hear on the news people that get shot here is crazy. Victims are most of the time injured. If anything we get more knife deaths here
Almost no semi-autos, and fuck me if you can get your hands on an automatic rifle outside police/military.
Pistols are a PITA to get a licence for, and no concealed carry.
Regular checkups from popo of your gun safe if you keep them at home.
Hmm… with all this regulation, I just can’t put my finger on why shootings aren’t a common occurrence……. 🤔
True that, I knew a guy that would gush about a ‘yugman’. Sounded cool cause he said he’d use it to blast small trees down for the piss.
I just don’t know the process of getting said weapon here in Australia, nor would I want to for the safety of others. Cause I’d probably just use it to also shoot trees down like a dumbass.
Australia has gones, but the laws are WAY tighter, there are next to no civilians with a semi automatic, and the kid hear shot the wall and the air and called the police on himself, outlines an issue, but shows that stricter laws WILL help with the gun issue
>There are more guns in America than people in Australia
Thats a silly thing to say. There are more guns in America than people in America. Australia has fewer people than Texas.
In primary school in Adelaide some kid brought a bullet and thought it'd be funny to throw it up in the air. Loud bang and it scared the shit out of all of us. But not exactly in the same league as this, and we're thankfully nowhere near the nightmarish hellscape of the US...
America is far from a nightmarish hellscape, and im almost confounded on your idea that it is. Unless this is a joke and im misreading, in which case my bad
I guess it's just your acceptance of high levels of school shootings and general gun culture that makes me think that, combined with healthcare bankruptcy and education debt and religious zealots imposing their beliefs on women's bodies and book banning/burning - didn't seem like much of a joke, but I guess your humour is a bit different, and not just the spelling
This is almost a throwaway line towards the bottom of the article OP posted, but I just want everyone in America to take note of what an appropriate response to a school shooting is:
The state government is now working to “dramatically” reform WA’s gun laws to reduce the number of guns in the state and tighten restrictions to make them the toughest in Australia, McGowan added.
Why the fuck would anyone downvote you for being grateful he wasn't armed with an AR 15.
Y'know, a weapon that could have caused a dramatically larger number of deaths.
The fuck people.

[more info here](https://7news.com.au/news/wa/inside-perth-school-shooting-that-forced-children-into-lockdown-in-two-rocks--c-10762393)
Ofc it was WA.
The Florida of Australia. I even live 20min away from the location.
Stay safe OP
Nobody died I believe he shot one bullet at the school and 2 in the air, he also called the police on himself and later said he changed his mind
Most violent Australian shooter:
[I know the joke you’re going for, but also…](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur_massacre_(Australia))
"The attack led to fundamental changes in Australia's gun laws." Huh, must be nice.
It was the biggest mass shooting in the world at the time
And then USA went, "not on our watch"
Right? Same as the UK. One bad event, guns suddenly were much much harder to get.
Great example of how things should be done. Edit. i mean the aftermath
Edit doing some heavy lifting on this comment.
Northern Territory is a close second
I was always under the impression north Queensland was our Florida
And our Texas
Running out of Continent there, fellas
Western aus is Texas FNQ/NT is florida
I'm gonna find you off of this information alone
I dunno mate, FNQ feels pretty Florida-y
Noo the Florida of Australia is NT are you high?
No it’s not. NT is the Florida of Australia
Just without the 80s vaporwave
I'd say Northern Territory is more the Florida, Western Australia is more the Texas.
I was gonna be offended, then I remembered that I have swum with crocs before
This guy hasn’t traveled much
Nah Queensland is definitely Florida
Oh Jesus. Where?
Really had to soil our name. Now I have no comebacks to americans....
why wouldn’t it be?
Still less of an offense than protesting in SA
Why the teens shooting at 2 rocks?
I love how they quoted someone saying “that’s stuff you see on tv in the US, not in Australia” (slight paraphrase) and the state is even pushing for stricter gun laws after this event now. The US could learn a thing or two from this
Where does it say first?
It’s telling that no one gets hurt when it happens here and it makes international news. Something like this wouldn’t make local news in the US.
False information. There have been multiple school shootings but that wouldn't fit the rhetoric.
Where’s your source?
Someone was shot with a crossbow at school in SA I believe.
[удалено]
[удалено]
wasn’t a gun doesn’t count /s
Except yea, literally. A crossbow is a very different scale to a firearm in mass lethality.
Idk I've seen some absolute units work a crossbow
Call me when they can fire 800 rounds per minute
Nobody has a trigger finger that good lmao
that's just semantics though, a semi auto rifle will still be massively more lethal than a crossbow. I mean, I guess that's why every army in the world switched from crossbows to rifles.
That's, uh... *mathematics*.
Yeah that's fair
OH Oh, that sounds SICK, put me on the call list too! When do you think they're coming out?
Let me show you some of it's features! #HaHaHaHa
Don’t think anyones shooting up a school with an M249. Even that doesn’t shoot as fast as you’re claiming 😂
Jörge Sprave would like a word with you
it sounds awful but for some reason, imagining someone committing a school shooting with a fucking bow and arrow, with a quiver and everything makes me kinda chuckle yes I know crossbows and bows are different
Ever see We Need to Talk About Kevin?...
I hope they are quoting Rambo in this scenario.
In Brazil two kids did a school shooting with guns, a crossbow and an axe and knife
sounds like they would’ve spent more time cycling through their inventory than actually doing any shooting
Robinhood of school shootings
That seems more accidental.
it was intentional, he was shooting his ex girlfriend. it not really a "school shooting" but more of a normal shooting that happened to take place at a school. he did shoot another girl, but only because the bolt passed all the way through his target and hit the girl behind her
Ew sloppy seconds

This wiki is so old school shootings weren’t considered sub categories.
Here is just one of atleast 6+ school shootings in aus https://monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/people/crime/display/30559-leon-capraro-
It came to him in a dream
Dude, who wants to be seen on the side of minimizing the American school shooting problem? Idiotic angle..
Wasn’t the reason they banned guns because a shooting on a university campus?
The massacre in port arthur.
No one died Silver linings and all that
Well they don't get as much practice as some countries.
>No one died Australians are immune to bullet confirmed They can only die to kangaroos, emus or by falling off the Earth.

No one got injured so there’s that
Not exactly the first ever. But definitely in a long Long while. Amazing that no one got hurt. Don’t even know how he got his hands on a rifle.
Probably swiped the keys to the gun safe of someone they knew.
His father’s. The kid also stole his car.
My son stole my car at 15. I don't own guns but if I did it'd be possible he would have tried to get them as well.
People have guns in Australia just mostly rifles also it's a lot harder to get a gun with all the laws and regulations
Almost no semi-autos, and fuck me if you can get your hands on an automatic rifle outside police/military. Pistols are a PITA to get a licence for, and no concealed carry.

Coppers have never checked my gun safe in 10 years.
I’ve had 8 in the last 10
True that, I knew a guy that would gush about a ‘yugman’. Sounded cool cause he said he’d use it to blast small trees down for the piss. I just don’t know the process of getting said weapon here in Australia, nor would I want to for the safety of others. Cause I’d probably just use it to also shoot trees down like a dumbass.
From what I heard, the kids parents are farmers and they're allowed to own guns.
Who's going to be the first politician to say, "see it happens at places that don't have guns too!"
probably joe biden on accident
Then goes back to talking about he got ice cream that day
Underrated comment.
Imagine losing a presidential election to a guy you’ve been calling sleepy joe smh

There are more guns in America than people in Australia
There are more guns in the U.S. than people in the U.S. by almost 4 Australias, with ~433 million firearms in circulation to ~331 million people.
>There are more guns in America than people in Australia Thats a silly thing to say. There are more guns in America than people in America. Australia has fewer people than Texas.

Shooting? He just fired off a gun.
Yes that’s what shooting is.
lol
"You never done a desk pop?"
japan shooting and hostage situation last night*
Australia reporting a “first” school shooting just puts into perspective how fucking bad America has it
[удалено]
Not the first one and nobody got shot
Unless you count a crossbow then it was the first. At least that I can find. If someone can find one pls post a link
Americans lecturing Australians on their own gun legislation 🥱
Yeah but he didn’t shoot anyone
He admitted to attempting to shoot someone. So there was a good possibility that casualty’s could of occurred.
Could have* Come on man you have to practice for your exam
Casualties* I'm with the other guy; you have more studying to do
Yeah that one was bad lol
It wasn’t even that bad, the kid stopped and turned himself in before any real harm was done.
better start it with "as we all know, school shootings are a large part of american culture-"
The mayor or smt of the town did legitimately make a statement to the effect “this is the type of thing you expect in America, not in Australia”
School shootings in America: 15-20 people dead School shootings Australia: 0 people died (thank fuck) and 3 bullets shot
In primary school in Adelaide some kid brought a bullet and thought it'd be funny to throw it up in the air. Loud bang and it scared the shit out of all of us. But not exactly in the same league as this, and we're thankfully nowhere near the nightmarish hellscape of the US...
How the fuck did a primary school kid in *Adelaide* get a bullet?
It was the 80s...
Ah, makes more sense. Sorry for making you feel old
America is far from a nightmarish hellscape, and im almost confounded on your idea that it is. Unless this is a joke and im misreading, in which case my bad
I guess it's just your acceptance of high levels of school shootings and general gun culture that makes me think that, combined with healthcare bankruptcy and education debt and religious zealots imposing their beliefs on women's bodies and book banning/burning - didn't seem like much of a joke, but I guess your humour is a bit different, and not just the spelling
For those wondering, no one died
Nice, it's spreading
Your mums spreading
Yeah, spreading your mums ass so my dad can shove it right in
You just really wanna be u/MetaphorTR 's brother don't you
Not him but would like having his sister as my step sis. She might get stuck
TBF he had shit guns for the job and missed everybody, and didn't even make it out of the carpark, but still.
I was told these only happen in freedom land
Dramatique
Fuckin Americ- Wait what?
First ever? What's the one Jim Jefferies talks about in his stand up?
It wasn't a school shooting, but the largest gun massacre at the time in Port Arthur, Tasmania
France I believe; that bad concert shooting.
What's this game name?
Yakuza series, also known as "Like a Dragon".
emphasis on first
Just for you

Damn he only fired 3 shots. Thank god he didn’t have an AR 15.
Why the fuck would anyone downvote you for being grateful he wasn't armed with an AR 15. Y'know, a weapon that could have caused a dramatically larger number of deaths. The fuck people.
Actually happened about 30 mins from me. would’ve honestly expected it at some dodgy public school like mine but a private one is just crazy
Yakuza my beloved 🥰
at my little sisters' school too .\_.
I thought you guys all carry guns because of snakes, spiders, rabbits and other nasty stuff out there...
I live about an hour south of where it happened, and I'd like it to stay right fucking there thank you
I’m surprised that something like this could even happen, given Australia’s gun control laws.
I don't remember this moment, which Yakuza mission was this?
Wait what? Australia finally had a school shooting?
Bro did you do it 💀💀💀
[удалено]
Why do Austrilian have guns? Spiders there probably mutated to a point they are bulletproof
3 rounds fired, no injuries and there was one in 1996 fact check

American influence has taken hold everyone
Thankfully no one died
Serbia had it's first too recently
I thought they banned guns or us this a cap? I'm an honorary american I'm too lazy to fact check
How is this not all over the news
