If Australia didn't have such strict gun laws this wouldn't have happen!

If Australia didn't have such strict gun laws there would be more mass shootings and those people who would get shot would far out number a small group on a fictional boat.

In real life these tour guides do tend to travel with a shotgun just in case (I know an NT guide), wouldn't have been a movie if the croc was shot in the first 5 minutes!!! But no, preach to us how Australians would be safer with more guns pfft

I bet you're the kind of twit who walks into a coffee shop with your gun holster visible so you can impress everyone with your demonstration of second amendment rights; or bores the *beep* out of others with tales of your latest trip to the gun range.

Take your stupid politics somewhere else because your argument has nothing to do with the movie I watched. I don't recall anyone having the opportunity to shoot the croc until it had killed four or five people. You do know that even a .50 caliber is spent after traveling through about two feet of water? And a shotgun would have been worthless against the animal depicted in this movie unless you hit it point blank with a slug between the eyes. Sorry, but not every situation can be solved by a hero with a gun, and most civilians carrying them are far from heroic.

As for reality, try comparing the per capita gun deaths in Australia with those in the U.S. (that's where you're from right?). Every day, more people are killed accidentally by guns in America than crocs kill in a year in Australia.

So here's your question for the day: how many American lives are saved each year by a heroic civilian with a gun? Now, how many Americans are killed in a gun accident each year?

So maybe we could say that if America had gun laws as strict as Australia's then so many THOUSANDS of lives would be saved.

And the film would have lasted 15 minutes.

Oh dear.......really?

All the dangerous animals animals in Australia and there are still less deaths in that country compared to America.......i wonder why?

In reality they probably would. I'm pretty sure there's plenty of people in the NT with guns due to the crocs and everything else out there that can kill you. It's like another country up there.

Wrong. First, they don't get a clear shot of the crocodile until several people were already dead. Second, bullets are virtually ineffective if they need to penetrate water. Third, a single shot likely isn't going to kill a huge, fast moving, underwater, armoured animal.
But even if they could kill him, how many Australians die each year from crocodile attacks compared to how many Americans die each year from guns? We're talking about comparing an average of less than one fatality per year versus tens of thousands per year.
Guns don't solve problems, they create them. Guns don't safe lives, they destroy them
