An especially odious breed of Maga has been busy bragging about their gun laws and were brutally put right by basically the entire planet
The world is still reeling from the Bondi beach shooting where 15 people were killed, many of them attending an event to mark the first day of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.
Hard to believe – well, possibly not given the state of America right now – but the unspeakable tragedy was used by an especially odious breed of Maga to brag about the United States’ gun laws. We know, we know.
We mention it only because they were brutally put right by basically the entire planet, an especially important fact check right now that no-one should ever forget.
And we should mention while each and every one of these people get entirely the response they deserve, it doesn’t make their initial sentiment any more infuriating, and very possibly distressing.

Australia is definitely regretting this right now! pic.twitter.com/GEqhFgd0Z1

regretting the fact the killers only had access to bolt action rifles rather than semi automatics firing 60 rounds a minute? Probably not, eh? https://t.co/4KFMeJQtSR

If Australia teaches us anything…
Never give up your guns.

You've had almost 400 mass-shootings so far this year.
I would REALLY sit this one out. https://t.co/aM9TKOUI9V

Australia has some of the strictest gun laws in the world.
It didn’t stop the massacre. https://t.co/dmSlJBNx0w

Australia took away its citizens’ guns, but 10 people at Bondi Beach are dead anyway because terrorists don’t care about gun laws.
The only thing the Australian government did was make sure its unarmed, law-abiding, citizens are now sitting ducks, unable to defend themselves. pic.twitter.com/xzwEziEpxk

In just the past decade, Australia had about 40 deaths, from mass shootings, vs the US which had about 5500 deaths, from mass shootings. But please continue with your very invalid ideas. https://t.co/CvAyZ5WG8c

Hey I thought Australia had ‘solved’ mass shootings by taking everyone’s guns away.

Gun laws in Australia are some of the strictest in the world.
The shooting tonight in Bondi shows very clearly that no matter the case, if bad people want to obtain a gun, they will.
The problem Australians face is we’re not allowed to be armed to defend ourselves…

The fact these scumbags could only get their hands on a shotgun and a single shot rifle clearly saved dozens of lives.
Anyone who doesn’t see that is a fool. Like this guy. https://t.co/lMOnSOLCXI

Australia enacted gun control laws in 1996 after 35 people were killed in a shooting. It only took ONE shooting for politicians to protect their citizens and implement gun control. They immediately saw a sharp decline in homicide and suicide rates via guns. This is the first mass… https://t.co/pJKRMjhOxR

How’s that gun control and mass immigration working out for you, Australia?

Well, they have way less mass shootings than we do. https://t.co/YWibfICy61
