Still No CCW Down Under.

It's called being skeptical of things you read on the internet and critical thinking. That's the program.

It's legit to point out when someone (BBBAZZ) uses themselves as an example, that they are in their '80s and may be stretching things a bit.

Great, you got some guy's opinion. If you really want to show this shooting is extraordinary for a single shooter vs an unarmed populace, then compare it to other shooters vs an unarmed populace.

Here's one, Luby's Cafeteria in Waco Tx.

Oops, he killed 23 and wounded 20, I don't think that helps you.

Here's another one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Edward_Pough#GMAC_massacre

Killed 11, wounded 6.

I'm certainly no expert on this, I just looked on Wiki. I'm not finding info that supports your military expert's opinion.

The gunmen in these shootings would have been physically
stronger, more alert, and would have had far greater intellect than
Martin Bryant, they also would have been much more proficient with firearms.

And the reasoning behind these claims? Hazard has already referenced & linked to a conspiracy web site that makes those claims. The discussion has moved on to how reliable those claims may be.

So, how strong was, or wasn't, Bryant and how strong did he need to be? He had 2 rifles which he used one at a time. He walked and drove around. I don't see anything he did needing any more strength than a child.

How much intellect does one need to shoot people in a restaurant? He was smart enough to drive a car.
