Philip S,

"The devices replace the gun's shoulder rest with a "support step" that covers the trigger opening, using the recoil from the gun's firing to bump the user's finger to "bump" the trigger, allowing it to fire at a faster rate. The modification can be bought online for $160.

The Stupidity of this is even though legal to own they are illegal to use"

This type of stupidity is not confined to the US, there are plenty of homegrown examples.
Simpl example, one can own an exhaust cut-out but it is illegal to use it.

Foxy, if mass shootings are a "white man's problem" of recent decades, then what happened to white men in the past 2-3 generations?

I think we all know the answer, and it ain't "guns".

Is Mise,

You still here? Why haven't you just gone and pulled your head in for a while. You have no respect for those who have fallen due to a gun culture you want to import into this country.

You supported the dropping of the cooling off periods for successive weapons which now means in some states in Australia a person like the Las Vegas shooter could accumulate the number of weapons he did without raising a red flag. You sir are a die hard enabler of shooting deaths, you are complicit at putting Australian's at future risk of being killed by a firearm and yet you have little to no remorse.

Shame.

Issy, like so many of the gun happy brigade your callous disregard for the human suffering caused by this tragic attack in the US is appalling. Instead of admitting the hideous nature of this, and other gun crime, both overseas and within Australia you always attempt to muddy the waters by launching into some kind of technical clap trap about the nature of the deadly weapons used.
Frankly, the honest caring folk of Australia and elsewhere don't give a damn about those technical aspects you like to hide behind, but rather want to see government enact tough regulation on guns, and gun owners like yourself, to prevent the possibility of future outrages with firearms of all descriptions.
ITS BAN THE GUN TIME!

Dear Shocker,

You stated and "it ain't guns".

Americans seriously need to discuss the mass psychology of
needing so many guns in the first place and the symptoms
created by being surrounded by them. They have to recognise
that gun crimes, mental illness, social networks and gun
access are complexly interrelated and not reducible to
simple cause and effect.
Ultimately the ways in which their society frames these
connections reveals as much about their particular cultural
politics, biases, and blind spots as it does about the acts
of lone and obviously troubled individuals.

Steele,

You're full of bull.

Paul,

Let's ban all guns, let's eradicate them from Australia, let's take all the civilian, police and other Government-owned arms and melt them all down.
Then we can have peace.

Think of it, a country without guns, I'm all for it.

Do you see any problems?
