So sad, but unfortunately, true.  No good deed, especially if done with a
firearm, will go unpunished.

For all Illinois residents the Illinois senate is voting in the next
couple weeks a ccomplete ban on semi-automatic shotguns and rifles -
call your reps!

And how does this combat trained bus driver arrest a guy armed with a knife,
who has already stabbed somebody?
Yep, gotta love that--if it worked in real life.  I too would applause a guy
that could do that, being a trained professional, um, err, bus driver.

Yeah, but over there, if he was stabbing his wife and then trying to set
her on fire, people would just think that he was getting a sheep ready
for the barbee...

 Didn't I just post other shooting deaths last week, a mother chased and
shot down in front of her kids?

 "No guns no danger to anyone."

 This is the same bullshit tripe Futile John Francis used to spout.

 He then steadfastly denied it, his usual lies.

 Despite your draconian gun laws and mandatory registration and
confiscation, you still have guns and gun crime.

 http://www.aic.gov.au/publications/facts/2005/01_recordedCrime.html

 I usually try and make you guys think, but I'll spell this one out for you
because of Canadian roaming charges.

 Despite the ridiculous gun ban, millions if not billions spent, your
murder rate is unchanged, and your overall violent crime rate is
skyrocketing.

 Because, like Futile John, you just don't get it.

 -Criminals- do not obey gun laws.

 Sadly enough, this included many common hunting weapons, incredibly
valuable weapons, and family heirlooms, and it's plain proof your government
can disarm you as they please.

 Don't ever bother to tell us you have the same freedoms as an American.

 It's also proof positive of what happens when fear based decision making
like Futile Johns' runs rampant.

 Examples like this are why he's terrified to engage in any coherent gun
debate.

 His "beliefs" are all he has to keep his irrational gun fears tenuously at
bay, and he can't risk scrutinizing them.

 Even with this specific example of failure, he's ready to confiscate,
confiscate, confiscate, and try again.

 Removing hundreds of thousands, or millions, of guns, from law abiding
Australian citizens, has done -nothing- to lower crime, or make citizens
safer.

 -Nothing-

 You've been duped, into sacrificing much security, and it doesn't seem
like it was all that hard.

Assyrians Divided By Fear After Shooting Death

April 12, 06

www.theaustralian.news.com.au

The fatal shooting of a Sydney man has divided the city's Assyrian
population, who fear the killer may be being protected by elements within
the Assyrian community itself.

Ashur Audisho, 21, was gunned down last Sunday after arguing with three men
in the western suburb of Fairfield. His funeral was held yesterday at the
Saint Zaia Cathedral, in Sydney's West Hoxton Park.

I'm sure you have an incident that backs that claim, right? :-)
And your "no guns no danger to anyone", is easily contradicted
by..well....facts.

Here, any citizen can make an arrest. Presuming wikipedia is correct, it
looks like y'all can do the same.

Why would it take a "bus driver"?
Do they have courses in unarmed combat in the bus driver schools? :-)
To get a license to drive a bus, do you have to be say, a at least a red
belt in Karate (or equivalent in other martial arts)?
