Imagine if the Sydney attacker's weapon had been a gun and not a knife.

The men pinned him to the ground until police arrived.

But condsier this. Had this alleged attacker been armed with an AR-15 assault rifle, as so many of America’s recent mass shooters have been, the outcome would’ve been far worse.In those incidents in the US, which we seem to hear about every week or so, someone wanders into a shopping centre, place of worship, office building, music festival or school and unleashes carnage.

In roughly the same amount of time that the man in Sydney sparked uncertainty and terror, those Americans can slaughter countless innocent people.But what we can all surely agree on is that Australia’s strict gun laws should never be watered down.Source:Instagram Our priority must continue to be to have the strictest possible oversight to keep firearms out of the hands of those who wish to use them to kill others.

Any efforts to take a backwards step on the legacy of the government in 1996 to toughen our gun laws would be a recipe for disaster.But in Australia, we prefer a situation where a group of top blokes with some chairs and a milk crate can stop a bad guy with a knife.

Channel 7 news were reporting a man was wielding a machete..

Imagine

“Imagine if he had a nuke and not a gun”

imagine if he had used his knife to hijack a plane

Imagine if there weren’t Muslims in Australia in the first place

Imagine if he had a Truck of Peace, with or without fertilizer

Imagine not inviting people like him into your country.....

Imagine you still had a homogeneous society where this didn't happen at all, like you used to.

Imagine if he had magical powers and not a knife

You mean like in Paris 2015, where guns are banned? Imagine third worlders not actually being in white countries.

imagine if he had a bomb or plane or lasers that shoots out his eyes

Imagine if we ban democrats from owning guns ? The world be much safer

Imagine if people were allowed to defend themselves.

Imagine all the people as John Lennon would say

Imagine if the Sydney guy had been white - the entire auspol press would be in a non stop orgy of ‘omg whiteness is terrorism’ that would last for weeks. Cut and pasted straight out of the insane US media like every other issue our shit-tier rags run with.

Yeah, and imagine, if because of that, one of the car drivers said 'screw this' and ran him over? Your question answers NOTHING. Also, did you guys miss Curtis Cheng dying? He was shot, you know.....

Imagine if he’d still been in his native land instead of Sydney 🤬

Imaging if you didn’t make up stupid senators seriously at time when people are questioning there thoughts on getting there guns back to protect ourselves seem the cops are struggling to we are sitting ducks our guns should never been taken from us because of one incident

Newscorp is secretly wishing for this. The media is sick

Illegal fire arms still exist in Australia you know? Criminals don't care about laws.

Imagine if ppl followed the law. We could have guns and knives without the killing. Imagine if Hitler didn't take the guns. Evil is evil.

Bahahahaha this is how fake news spin this Freaking gold.

If he doesn't have a criminal record, a documented mental illness and is over the age of 18 then it bloody well could of been. I swear 99% of Australians have no idea what our gun laws even are.

Imagine it was John Lennon

Imagine if he was the Government.

Imagine if the attacker was a bull elephant...🤔

Under current gun control it would have been a disaster, because the only one with a gun would have been the criminal. Imagine if he had a gun and so did the women he stabbed, and the law abiding citizens who stopped him. Stupid loaded question.

Imagine if it had been a milkshake. We'd all be feeling like bloody gooses then, wouldn't we!!!

Imagine if we stopped importing incompatible ideology before it started?

What a stupid article 😡

Imagine if all that toxic masculinity didn't come to the rescue mmmmm

Newscorp what dreams are made of 💦

He could have easily got an illegal gun and then one of the heros who stopped him with a knife would have been able to do anything. They'd be dead.

They would have used 2 milk crates 👍🏻

Imagine if there were no such thing as Islam.

Imagine the media’s hyped up conspiracies if the terrorist was white

Imagine if he was a white conservative. You guys would be salivating like fat kids in a candy store.

Imagine if he screamed Allah akhbar and was a Muslim. Hold on ! He did!

Imagine if he'd quoted a Bible verse 🤷‍♀️

Shows gun laws work

But it wasn’t. And that is in part due to stricter gun control. If it were made even stricter and I know carrying a knife is an offence, but perhaps it should be an illegal act of threat or violjence with harsher penalties, maybe these crimes could lessen also. SydneyStabbing

Watch now as the media squeeze every drop out of this tragedy.

Imagine if he shot laser beams out of his eyes!

Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people living life in peace

Its a pretty shit knife though.

And those brave lads put themselves in so much danger. Faith in humanity being slowly raised.

Imagine he was Khan from Star Trek & Imagine he could become invisible & Imagine if he had space weapons. & Imagine..... Report the news - leave the fiction to authors...

The guy was mentally ill, why is the media still banging on about this 24 hours later. Time to move on.

Imagine if me Aunty had bollocks. She'd be me uncle.

Imagine if the citizens had firearms.

Imagine if you didn’t let in this dangerous ideology

Imagine if the government had done their job properly and he had been locked 🔒 up and confined in a secure mental health facility receiving the proper care, that he so obviously needs...?

Imagine if the Sydney attacker’s weapon had been an atomic bomb and not a knife or a gun... 😱🙅🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Imagine if he hadn't been in Australia to brandish any weapon ?

imagine if the lindt cafe shooter had a knife instead of a gun

Imagine all the people living in harmony. You may say that I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one.

Imagine it was a car and that he ran everyone over. We should ban cars

It wasn't tho... Cuz guns are illegal... Settle down Rupert.

Imagine if Australians had the right to defend themselves, with a firearm not a milk crate.

Thought exactly the same thing. Thank goodness for common sense gun laws. But whether that woman was his victim or not, feel for her family.

imagine if we didnt import islam.

When Remington M blocks you. Hahaha 🤣🤣

Do I have too? Imagine it was a rubber dildo instead. Provokes better images than torn apart people...

Muslims use knives, swords, machetes and vehicles Guns aren’t their thing We are currently in Eid Al Adha where a sheep has its throat slit with a knife as a sacrifice Makes you wonder why the young woman in the apartment had her throat slit doesn’t it?

imagine if we had a homogenous country where random acts of multiculturalism didnt happen

Then the people of Sydney better be armed!

Your pen is a million guns .

I'd still be saddened that society is fractured by mass immigration. These attacks just increase division and tighten the screw of authoritarianism.

Imagine if your journalists knew how to write a story

Imagine if it had been a car, a truck, a fire, a gas, a pipe bomb, a pressure cooker bomb, a bulldozer. The list is endless

Imagine if the ?

Imagine if this brand still had credibility

Well it wasn’t a gun. You can thank John Howard for that!

can everyone report this tweet please? let's get em banned!

What a stupid, clickbait headline! Just report - facts matter.

LiaJHarris Exactly. Was thinking the same thing Thank God we have tight gun laws. There would of been plenty more casualties and people killed if he had a gun

Imagine if News Corp didn’t exist. Ever. Life and people better off.

You mean gun death is less painful?

Imagine if he had a cannon.

Imagine if he had an Egg!

Or Julie Bishop!

Imagine how quickly this could have stopped if a bystander had a conceal carry license.

Imagine if the lunatic had a gun ,

But it wasn’t because our gun laws are tougher than the US. Aus 1 - USA 0

Would have needed a bigger milk crate

Imagine if he had a laser on his head

God Bless you, John Howard/St Lazarus the Reformer/Sir Don Fn Bradman's bumboy!😇

So the person killed with the knife was not significant enough for you?

Imagine if he didn't kill anyone because our mental health system was the best in the world!!

Imagine he was naked..

I like this new 'going against the Right' type of story. Pauline and the Nats won't be happy. Welcome to the centre Newscorp.

Imagine if we had concealed carry laws. He might have been stopped before he stabbed anyone. Just imagine!

Seriously? Not appropriate mate. 😒

Imagine if he bought a Remington 7615/7600 pump action rifle, in .223 or .308 with a few extra 10 round mags. Perfectly legal on a cat a/b license and went postal. Does this journo even know firearms? Semi auto in OZ requires cat d and a legitimate reason, farm/pest control

Imagine.

But it wasn’t 🤷🏻‍♂️

Or even worse, a car or truck or bus.

Imagine that we know that a 'man with a knife' is fake news code for a MUSLIM EXTREMIST

Imagine if he had an assault knife instead of a kitchen knife.

Really he still killed a woman WTF is wrong with you people 😡

Imagine if instead of one person it was 100 people with knives Are you kidding me

Imagine if he used a pickle?

Imagine if it was a nuke

If we had gun laws like the USA there would be 40 dead

Clickbait

Imagine if he wasn’t alone

So proud of our gun laws!!!!

Oh settle down we’re in enough shock as it is wankerreport

Imagine if it was a truck

Imagine if he had a car instead of a gun? Thank god he never chose a car

And imagine if you were a journalist who didn't write garbage like this.

Why is this a topic? Are people that bloody blind that they don’t know about the gun crime that DOES happen in Australia?

Imagine how quickly this could of ended if concealed carry licenses were made more available.

Jesus, just when you thought 'journalists' couldn't get any more pathetic. Now they're resorting to having to 'imagine' things to push their narrative. Just stick to reporting the facts instead of humiliating yourselves at every opportunity you clowns.

These things aren’t supposed to happen in a gun-Free society. 🤷🏿‍♂️ BanAllKnives

Imagine if he had an attack helicopter!

9 deaths in 30 seconds.

Imagine if we based policy off actual data & not the fantastical imaginings of writers for failing newsmedia companies.

Thankyou for not allowing ease of access to automatic weapons . How worse this could of been.Also this religion of peace is ruining Australia 😥

Imagine if Newscorp didn’t exist. Bliss!

We don’t need to imagine, we have seen what happens in America and frankly I’m glad we have our gun laws.

Imagine if it had been a spatula & not a knife! Ban knives now!
