When the British invaded the Aboriginal's land, 'Australia' did not exist so how were the "Australians" the reason for their 'extermination' ? And besides, are we going to act like the treatment of Native Americans by America was fair and just?

Maybe because the white Australians are the descendants of the British colonist and still treat aborginals bad till this day

You probably don't even live in Australia so for you to pass judgement on the way Aboriginals are treated is a tad silly.

What an illogical non-sequitur argument Whatever Australia has done In the past doesn't stop him from calling out the US' gun laws, unless you have proof that reporter actually supports what Australia did

I'm not saying Australians today and in the past have not mistreated the Aboriginals. But your uneducated first post suggests that such a concept as "Australia" and "Australian's" existed and exterminated the Aborignals when in fact, Aborignal's were not exterminated and the concept of 'Australia' didn't exist.

Let's not forget, the British that invaded originally referred to the country as 'Terra Nullius' meaning nobody's land.

What do you mean sis

Thank you

Than how come they went from being the majority of Australia population to 3% in a matter of a few centuries

The discrimination and mistreatment of the natives is ongoing to the present

Drag them to the pits of hell and back Australia!!!!!

No need for a genetic fallacy - I'm an Australian descendant of British colonists and have devoted a lot of my time travelling across the country to these communities - educating, creating partnerships, sharing culture and ultimately, bridging the gap. If we were to say "Asians did this! Americans did that!" based upon the actions of independent people, we'd be in discussion perpetually.

In your original post, you attempted to dismiss one person's concern for the state of another group of people on the earth we all share, upon the basis that; "[the entirety of] Australia really shouldn't act high and mighty when it comes to senseless death when they exterminated a group of people from their homelands and still discriminate against them as we speak". I don't wish to act high and mighty, nor do I discriminate against the aboriginal population of my country and it's my belief that the American government should work harder to regulate and outlaw gun use so as to make its people - people that I admire and respect - safer. It doesn't come from a place of me being on my high horse or looking down on America, it comes from a deep concern for it's citizens, of whom I hear of violent attacks towards every day.

Without a generalisation or genetic fallacy, I'm just not sure how you could rebut that. I understand that if you're an American, you may feel embarrassed that today people are "dragging" you or expressing concern over a lack of regulation in your country. If you wish for your feelings to cease, please channel this energy into becoming an activist and a voice for safety in regards to gun violence in your country.

She dragged the United States, not America.

You sound so DUMB, jesus christ.

OT:
The good sis Koche is 100% correct. The longer america holds onto its gun laws, the more massacres will continue to happen. Fix it Hillary.

Drag ha!

Why are people bringing Indigenous Australians into this thread? That has nothing to do with gun violence.

I honestly hate Kochie but I completely agree with everything he said.
