Is Mise is right. Kids who are found spraying graffiti in schools shall be shot on sight, lest they get away before the cops arrive.

And there I was thinking that Katter is extreme.

morganzola,

There is nothing to stop some deranged person in Australia from committing a massacre in one of our schools.
They don't need a gun.

How would you stop such a person?

Be constructive and you might just give society the idea that will stop a future tragedy.

The world has moved on from when we were young Hasbeen.
csteele,
too right, due to moron educators our young have successfully been turned into morons as well. Moved on indeed, but what direction I ask ?

How would you stop such a person?
is Mise,
Another, sane person with a gun would certainly prevent him/her from letting off more than three rounds.

For those who think that it can't happen.

"The Osaka School Massacre took place on June 8, 2001, at Ikeda Elementary School, an elite primary school affiliated with Osaka Kyoiku University in Osaka Prefecture, Japan.

At 10:15 that morning, 37-year-old former janitor Mamoru Takuma entered the school armed with a kitchen knife and began stabbing numerous school children and teachers. He killed eight children, mostly between the ages of seven and eight, and seriously wounded thirteen other children and two teachers. Takuma was later convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. The sentence was carried out on September 14, 2004. The Osaka School Massacre was the second largest mass murder, along with the Matsumoto incident, in recent Japanese history, exceeded both of the crimes only by the fatalities caused in the Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway. This incident, however, was set apart by the young age of the victims, by its occurrence at a school, and by the murderer's history of mental illness. Because of these factors, the Osaka School Massacre raised questions in Japan about the country's social policies regarding the treatment of mental illness, the rights of criminals and victims, and the accessibility and security of Japanese schools.

After the attack, Yoshio Yamane, the principal administrator of the school, announced that it would receive a security guard, an at-the-time unheard-of feature in Japanese schools. Additionally, J-Pop artist Hikaru Utada rearranged her song Distance in honor of Rena Yamashita, one of the murdered schoolgirls (because of an essay contest she had won, talking about how she respected and wanted to become like Hikaru), retitling it Final Distance. Exactly seven years later, a similar stabbing massacre called the Akihabara massacre took place, though not in a school but in the streets of Tokyo."

Dear individual,

Moronic behaviour, mmm, let's see.

If I were to give an example it would be Americans following the advice of the NRA that the solution to school shootings is not greater gun control but to put armed guards at every school.

Further only a moron would think that any relaxing of gun laws in Australia would not potentially increase the risk of school shootings in this country.

I do not want a Columbine in my country.

Dear Is Mise,

Hells bells mate you are a fearful person. I live in a country community where we don't feel we need to lock our doors or our cars so perhaps I'm biased but I rail against that American import of gated communities. I would much rather pay more taxes for better social spending, including mental health, and strong policing than armed guards or guns at every school.

Your stance is like legislating that everyone should be taking chemotherapy as a preventative measure against cancer.

As to keeping weapons handy within homes there are nearly a couple of thousand legal guns stolen through burglaries each year, mostly crimes of opportunity, and around sixty of those will be ultimately used in the commission of a serious crime. Ensuring the safe storage of weapons is something I don't think we can afford to be relaxed about just on the off chance we might nail the odd fox. I think every measure to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals should be supported, even by yourself.
