A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured.
New South Wales police said they believed a 40-year-old man was responsible for the Saturday afternoon attack at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, in the city’s eastern suburbs and not far from the world-famous Bondi Beach. They said they were not able to name him until a formal identification had taken place but that they weren’t treating the attack as terrorism-related.
The man was shot dead by a police inspector after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters.
Why because you don’t know whats the difference between semi-automatic and automatic?
Automatics are designed to keep enemies suppressed, because of the level of accuracy they have.
What level of accuracy do you need when you’re within a few feet?
Ask the gang bangers in inner cities. Tons of giggle switches out there, but their homicide rate has dropped. Pointing to a lack of accuracy.
Wait, your argument is that these things are so inaccurate that within stabbing distance they still miss their target?
Yup, injuries have climbed but deaths have dropped.

Even Chicago’s own lawsuit details how inaccurate they are.
It’s specifically citing modified handguns, which are not designed for automatic fire in the first place. An automatic rifle, with a stock and grip, is way more controllable than a fucking handgun doing something it wasn’t designed to do without also adding stocks and grips.
Really that’s your go to?
The Glocks are %100 designed for automatic fire, a lower is all that changes it when you have a legal automatic firearm.
On top of that, the last time an automatic rifle was used was during the LA bank robbery. Rifles are rarely used in homicides, and automatic rifles are basically never used.
You have a really bad understanding of firearms and statistics for them.
