Port Arthur Massacre, mass shooting in and around Port Arthur, Tasmania, Australia, on April 28–29, 1996, that left 35 people dead and some 18 wounded; the gunman, Martin Bryant, was later sentenced to 35 life terms.
This resulted in the tightening of our gun laws and what firearms can be owned by who and under what licence.
Has prevented a repeat since. Touch wood.
Also owning guns is easy in Australia I have several
More censorship.
Is this comment sarcastic?
It was. I can understand why the mods removed it though
Glancing over their other comments for about 15 seconds, I'm going to vote yes: it's sarcasm.
I'm going with "it has to either be sarcasm or Tipper Gore's lemmy acct" but I'm too lazy to check his history.
