[midnight rambler]

Three Negro minors kill an Aussie college kid and of course it's all the result of 'easy access to guns'.

I am sure race had nothing to do with it.

"Christopher Lane, 22, was randomly gunned down while jogging through the town of Duncan in Oklahoma on Friday afternoon local time.

Mr Fischer, who led Australia's gun control reforms alongside former prime minister John Howard in 1996, said choosing not to travel to the US would help build pressure on the US Congress to finally act.

"Tourists thinking of going to the USA should think twice,'' Mr Fischer said.

"This is the bitter harvest and legacy of the policies of the NRA that even blocked background checks for people buying guns at gunshows.

"People should take this into account before going to the United States.

"I am deeply angry about this because of the callous attitude of the three teenagers (but) it's a sign of the proliferation of guns on the ground in the USA.

"There is a gun for almost every American.''


It comes as Duncan Police Chief Danny Ford said he had secured the confession of the 17-year-old who summoned investigators to his jail cell and claimed he and the younger boys were bored "so they decided to kill somebody".

"He said he was the driver of the car," Chief Ford said.

"They saw Christopher jog by the house they were at, they chose him to be the target, they got in the car, drove up behind him and shot him in the back.

"He said the 16-year-old fired the shot."


some neighborhoods are not safe - a lot of the stories that make the point involve tourists who don't know the neighborhood.


i doubt the gun the bored teenage killers used was registered.

I wasn't aware that minors can own guns legally. Was the gun used by these "minors" legal?

Something tells me the TEENAGERS didn't acquire the gun via legal means. But lets not let any facts get in the way of an emotional rant.

Typical communist sympathizing idiot.

Both state and federal laws prohibit minors from acquiring guns (21 or older for handguns, 18 or older for long arms). There are also laws prohibiting the stealing of others' property (e.g. guns), but hey, let's pass some more laws so we can all feel better about ourselves. It's for the greater good ya know!

We have a thug problem, not a gun problem. Why isn't this being discussed in our society?? (rhetorical question lol)
