Mass shooting at Bondi Beach

Why?

The rules may seem "pants on head retarded" to you, but here in Japan they stemmed from the Supreme Command of the Allied Forces (SCAP) who were the occupying forces of Japan after World War Two.

Initially, ALL firearm ownership for regular law-abiding citizens in Japan was completely forbidden.

Over time, some very small exceptions were granted for those deemed to need them: police, hunters, etc.... but each and every firearm had to be separately registered with the authorities, and each and every registration needs to be justified individually.

These rules under SCAP later became in some way the basis for gun (and sword) ownership laws of Japan now.

The idea that a single instance of gun ownership opened the floodgates for as many guns as you wanted to have was not accepted, probably partly because of the fear of either far-right imperialist groups getting hold of them or far-left groups such as the Red Army Faction.

There are some countries whose gun ownership laws have a basis in history. In fact, that is true of the US also, given that the 2nd Amendment was derived via state constitutions from the English Bill of Rights.

But other countries will use their own histories as a basis for gun regulation, which is eminently sensible.

Perhaps if you took the time to think about why certain countries have their own rules, you might realize they are not actually pants-on-head-retarded.

Be fair, he might be referring to some of the US rules as being pants-on-head-retarded. Kennesaw springs to mind, where it is compulsory to own a gun.
 
It's always lovely to see the knee-jerk reactions.

What you need to be asking, is why a bloke born in the lucky country felt the need to kill Jews. And it's not "Islam" because there are a million muslims in Aussie and only one terrorist attack.

Someone can check for me how many muslims there are in this photo, from a whole month before Bondi:

I counted 0, and with 1 sent back to RSA, I think the rest of them are white Australian men.

I count an alarming amount of mullets sported.

As long as nobody's surprised by the attack - it was bloody obvious from the moment Israel turned from Hamas-hunt to genocide that there will be terrorist attacks against Jews across the world, and this just the latest.

It's striking that there has been no similar outbreak of attacks against ethnic Russians following their completely unprovoked invasion of the Ukraine. Why do you think that is?
 
Come back when Ukraine has been under Russian military occupation for 70 years and the Ukrainians driven in to Reservations.

People hailing distantly of Russian descent don't generally identify ethnically, religiously, nationally, and show unwavering support for a nation most have never set foot in, and are generally supported by superpowers while doing so?

So killing random Jews in reprisal for Gaza makes a lot of sense? Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Forgot all about 1917-1989 or so? Never heard of Stalin's manufactured famine in the 1930s that killed millions? Compared to the Ukrainians, the Palestinians have had it easy.

No, not close at all. A contemptible post by the Atheist.

Exactly there is nothing wrong with killing tens of thousands of muslim children but kill one jew and you are in serious trouble. You have to weight the value of peoples lives by their choice of religion.

Looks like he enjoys a beer, which will be handy, because he's never going to have to pay for one again.

Gutsy effort, taking on a bloke with a gun, and appears to get shot at by the other shooter, so I hope he's ok.

Not likely he will be why would people care about a Muslim after an Islamic terrorist attack?

I am perfectly aware of the fact that everything and anything will be used to excuse, justify, banalise or minimise antisemitic atrocities, using the despicable practice of hiding them by more or less openly calling them justified retaliation.

Thankfulyy no one really cares about pro semitic atrocities, 15 dead jews is a worse crime than 20,000 dead Muslim children after all.

Its why "Never Again" was not a blanket statement about genocide which no one really cares about, look at all the genocides no one cares about in the world to show that. No it was and is only about the jews because genocide against them is special and worse than regular genocide for some reason.

You answered your own question: antisemitism.

If you want to know what motivated that antisemitism, the teachings of Islam. Israel is an excuse, not the reason.

Hey the teachings of the bible killed millions of jews, don't cut christians a break. Stop excusing the holocaust.

And what exactly did any of those killed have to do with killing Muslims?
