Way to ignore everything I have posted.
Australia since 1996 has more firearms than before the ban and buy back. Yet has less mass shootings.
So you make that work. More firearms in civ hands than ever, yet less shootings.
Is it the number of guns or some other factor?
Not even close. What I read is that your system failed to stop two terrorists from committing a mass shooting, even though you have some of the strongest gun control in the world.
What that tells me is that guns aren't the issue, the issue is society as a whole. We allowed a genocide of the Palestinian people and now there are people who are using it as a means to retaliate.
Violence is going to happen with or without guns. Mass carnage isn't something new since guns were invented. Humans are violent. The only things we can do to reduce that violence is work on society. The more educated a person is the less likely they're to commit violence. The less a person is in poverty, less likely to commit violence. Just these two things branch into, a lot more solutions to our violence issue than "ban guns".
That's not what I pointed out at all. I pointed out that the ban didn't do anything. They have more guns now than they did pre ban.

You're largest city being Sydney compared to one of our cities like Chicago is nearly twice the population size and is in a smaller footprint. So sure most of your population lives in the cities, so does the USA, but you're still way more spread out, and like I said before you actually have safety nets.
You already had low gun crime before the ban anyways. You're trying to compare apples to oranges here.
Just remove them and give it a coat of paint then. Or are you wanting to change it to something else thats not plaster?
I'm betting that behind it is drywall. It looks like someone just wanted an accent wall for I'm guessing furniture(chairs) to not bang against a softer material like drywall. I'd check behind it first, you might get a nice surprise.
When you're intentionally rude, you're breaking the rules. Pretty clear cut.
Pretty much all of my blocks are from rule 1...which is vague for a reason.
The point about having a life is that I couldn't possibly be in an echo chamber even if I wanted to be.
You're in a echo chamber here...no one said outside of lemmy.
As for your bit on "being an authoritarian," it's again just your persecution fetish flaring up. I'm okay with revolution and violent resistance to fascists and capitalists, sure, but there's a huge difference between that and the idea that communists just want to kill everyone that disagrees. History proves that false.
Please show me a peaceful transition to communism...hell your own comment that you're ok with violence against capitalist is nice and telling considering the majority of the world is capitalism right now.
As for China, no, living there doesn't make ine a communist, but the system is supported by over 90% of the population. The public supports the government.
Lol this is like asking people if they love the USSR....they don't have a choice.
Again, you're so off-base that you're like a caricature of a conservative uncle.
Says the guy who's brain washed into believing CCP propaganda and has no clue how china is, as he sits in his western bubble.
This is ridiculous, lol. You did break the rules, the modlog is public.
Lol yes rule 1 a joke rule to block/ban/delete anything that goes against the propaganda from tankies lol
I don't know what your persecution fetish is for, but I work for a living, organize, and have a life.
What does working have to do with anything about removing comments and banning people?
I have no idea why temp banning people for breaking community rules means communists want to kill people we "don't like," it's ridiculous.
It's called being an authoritarian. You're cool with destroying anyone who goes against your beliefs. You just can't do it in real life because you're not in power.
As for there being billions of communists, the PRC alone has 1 and a half billion people alone, and is far from the only socialist country.
ROFL, you think the people of china are communist because they live there? The CCP rules china with an iron fist. Tiananmen Square Massacre proved that.
Really, your insults are so weak it's kinda pitiful.
Lol
You got temp banned because you broke the rules, not for replying to me. I've had plenty of conversations here.
Lol sure thing kid.
Secondly, I do comment outside of Lemmy.ml, and I work and live my life outside of Lemmy. I couldn't possibly be in a true echo chamber even if I wanted to.
No...you really don't.
Unfortunately for you, though, there are billions of communists around the world, and more are created every day. We aren't a tiny fraction. Communists are absolutely better than MAGA, where MAGA fights against marginalized people and the global working classes to perpetuate imperialism and profits for a tiny subsection of society, communists fight for the working classes against genocidal imperialists.
Lol no there is not billions of communist rofl what dumbass logic is that. Your communist heros of the past have killed more people than magats have. The only reason you like being a communist is because you think once a revolution happens you'll be in charge, and you'll get to kill people you don't like. Hell .ml is %100 proof of that. You ban anyone who "breaks the rules".
Again, you don't actually seem to be capable of making a point. You just spout insults and accusations without backing anything up, it's really very boring and none of your insults actually land.
My insults are more so for my own amusement... honestly don't know why I haven't blocked this instance yet. It's filled with hateful tankies who are chomping at the bit to murder anyone that they deem a threat to communism.
You're straight up using russian propaganda. You literally are saying Ukraine shouldn't be fighting against russia and give up because it's drafting citizens. Guess what happens when a country is fighting for its survival. Shit gets rocky.
On top of all that. You haven't called out once that russia has been doing even worse shit to get soldiers....tell me again how much propaganda I'm a victim of.
Go read more russia today and believe it.
Naa the last time I replied to you I was temp banned, and my comments removed. Your just in an echo chamber and why you won't comment outside of ml or other tankie instances because you don't have the mods there to ban and delete comments for you.
End of the day, I'm glad that you and the rest of the tankies around lemmy are a tiny fraction of the worlds population. You're no better than maga and any other right wing authoritarian group.
The ends do mean exactly that. This shooting has already spured more gun control which will further remove the ability for a civilian to own any firearm in Australia.

Also the "has more guns than before the ban" is in that article. It's 25% more than before the 96 shooting.
The end goal is complete disarming of the population.
And once again you ignore the rest of what I have stated... because the end for you is no one owning firearms. After that, you'll be there with the UK and their knives ban.
Humans are violent when uneducated and poor. This isn't some bullshit statement. It's Truth. The more we combat both of these globally the less violence there will be.
