The fact that Austrailia has gun control and does not allow armed citizens to protect themselves, their loved ones, and other citizens from imminent threats of serious bodily injury or death. Makes the terrorists task easier.

Australia has extreme gun bans and no carrying in public is allowed. Guns are allowed by need and guns not used has to be locked up separately from ammunition. The government has the right to inspect house without notice. Gun control really works well. It’s for your safety.

No thanks. I choose to protect my family and myself on my own terms, not begging someone else to do that.

I spent too many years trying to protect the public, and hearing the fear in their voices.

I have seen the evil in this world and talked to some of those who did it.

The one and only time that I thought maybe I should be more "civilized" and didn't have a weapon nearby, my teenage son was nearly kidnapped by two men.

The last 50+ years I have lived with a gun. I refuse to apologize for that.

Timely. With our open border in previous years I can only imagine what we are facing as Christians.

I have gotten really frustrated by the “Media's” term….”WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR!”

People forget that one or more TV news stations, announced the hit on the second tower BEFORE IT HAPPENED!

Just saying, that all media outlets are TOLD what to report! We are fed what they want us to believe!

What happens when you form a country into a gun-free zone? We just saw where it leads.

I may be completely wrong, but I think the younger shooter was using a bolt action shotgun with a red dot sight. That would explain the belt holding shotshells. I thought I saw shotshells laying on the bridge from a drone view that I have seen. A smaller gage shell would allow more shells in a blind box magazine. If the shooter used slugs or buckshot initially, that could explain the early fatalities. Then birdshot later could explain the man who pointed a finger but was not immediately shot down.

All of the above might be because of Australia's restrictive laws on weapon and ammo purchases.

Because of this event, I carried the largest pistol so far under my overshirt to church this morning.

Thank you Keith.

It was a straight pulled Beretta rifle

It was a straight pull Beretta rifle. The other guns were shotguns I believe. Including one that appeared to be semi auto I believe all those were banned in 96.

Good concise report Keith. Much appreciated.

We live across the street from a synagogue here in Riverside County CA. Our Sheriff (you know him well) ensures eyes are on the temple. Members there are well trained as well. Our parish is up the street and we have your guidelines in place - perfect? No but we’re working on it. Darn shame we have to do this. We also have at least 5 drive by’s by deputies during services - Greek church since the boys are well fed.

It’s sad it comes to this. Praying for those in Australia. I’m not smart enough to understand the hatred.

Australia hasn’t had a mass shooting in 30 years. Now compare that to America. Gun control works. Now they will crack down on guns even further. Why? Because it works

Sydney has daily shootings like any big city gun control does not work and it has never worked those that complied with the 96 ban just gave up freedoms and got nothing in return other than empty worthless promises from politicians if they ever try to pull that stunt here in the United States we are going to have a Civil War

The poor Ausies had their gun rights taken away 20 years ago after another mass shooting. The Satanists try that in the US as well, so far, not yet loosing our gun rights.

Australians never had “Gun rights”They’ve always unfortunately been privileges, but they rolled over and did not fight to retain their property. Self defense has never been a reason for gaining a firearm license, I would argue that self defense is the one reason for owning firearms

@Keith Graves. I'm a paid subscriber. I logged in and when I click on the video is says "Sign In To Confirm You're Not A Bot." I'm already signed in. It only allows me to see the edited YouTube video you made, not this full one. Is there something wrong on your site or is this issue only limited to me?

The messages is asking you to log into YouTube, not Christian warrior training. Because I’m logged into Google on all my browsers, when that comes up I click the watch on YouTube and it clears the message.

My church security team espouses Poet Society for our group training. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like that channel teaches military style training and seems to condone walking around with an AR-15 for defense as well as a lot of sales pitching. I much prefer Keith's style of training as we should try to keep our churches open and welcoming. However, at our church gatherings, we do deploy primary and secondary ( back up) personnel at or near our front door.

Were they wearing body armor

Keith Graves's avatar

I do believe at least one of them was. There’s a picture of them on the bridge and I can see body armor laying on the ground, as if it was cut off of somebody.

New South Wales requires a license for body armor. I went through two licensing structures in 99 would’ve gone through a third in 2000 but I had left the country at that point.
