A 28-year-old man accused of gunning down a young cricketer Rahat Khan in Melbourne’s north has made his first court appearance.

Kamil Yucel, of Dallas, appeared at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Saturday charged with murder, following his arrest on Friday night.

Yucel, sporting a beard and grey windcheater, was remanded in custody during the brief hearing and ordered to reappear in the same court for a filing hearing on Wednesday.


Mr Khan, 20, from Dandenong, died of gunshot wounds in Millewa Crescent, Dallas, on Tuesday evening after a friend driving him pulled over to ask for help.

Hmm. An unfriendly criminal in Australia. How strange.

You seem to miss the point. Australia is routinely held up as an example of success gun control and outright confiscation. So in theory this is impossible. There is no way he could have been shot to death, because banning guns should mean there are no guns.

This shooting is completely impossible.... yet it happened. How? Did the magic of gun control fail? Is Voldemort in Australia magically creating guns? What's going on Harry Potter?

Australia has more guns now than before the "confiscation." Nobody "banned guns." Regardless, I don't see how their gun control laws are a failure if their homicide and gun crime rates are a tiny fraction of ours.

Because their thug culture is less inclined to commit murder than our inner city thugs are.....they obviously have access to all the guns they want or need...but their criminal, thug culture doesn't lend itself to random murder as often as our thugs do....you won't see Australian criminals murdering 9 year olds in alleys because the boys father is a rival gang member.....or murdering each other over facebook insults......

 

[2aguy]

Wow. That brings their total shootings to ??

Why do you insist on posting articles that prove you're wrong?

No...it doesn't prove me wrong.......the criminals in Australia have guns and they use them when they need to use them....

Thug culture is different in the various countries...even between cities in the United States...access to guns is not the issue...the willingness to commit murder is....

Yes yes friendly criminals and all that. Nothing to do with it being exponentially more difficult for a criminal to get a gun.

Highly restricted, but not a full out ban.

Highly restricted for normal, non violent, law abiding citizens...the criminals still get them easily.

Exactly.....you finally get it.......since as you point out the level of gun ownership is back to pre-confiscation levels...

And not one of their gun laws has kept them from having a mass public shooting, the whole reason they confiscated their guns.........

The absolute, only reason they haven't had a mass public shooting......none of their nuts or muslim terrorists have decided to murder 3 or more people.........there have been plenty of mass public shootings with people being shot, and nuts or muslim terrorists with guns shooting people......regardless of all of their gun laws....but they just haven't decided to murder 3 or more people....

Australia is currently using pure, dumb, luck as gun safety....and one of these days that luck is going to run out...

Australia’s Gun 'Buyback' Created a Violent Firearms Black Market. Why Should the U.S. Do the Same?

Just days ago, Australia's Peter Dutton, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, and Michael Keenan, Minister for Justice, held a joint press conference to announce "We don't tolerate gun smuggling in Australia and we know Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs are engaged in it. We have been keen to send the strongest possible message from Canberra that we're not going to tolerate people smuggling in guns or smuggling in gun parts. You'd appreciate that even one smuggled gun can do an enormous amount of damage."

When politicians announce that they don't tolerate something, it's a fair bet that the something is completely out of hand.

"Police admit they cannot eradicate a black market that is peddling illegal guns to criminals," the Adelaide Advertiser concededa few years ago.

"Motorcycle gang members and convicted criminals barred from buying guns in South Australia have no difficulty obtaining illegal firearms - including fully automatic weapons."

More recently, the country's The New Daily gained access to "previously unpublished data for firearms offences" and reporteda surge in crime "including a massive 83 per cent increase in firearms offences in NSW between 2005/06 and 2014/15, and an even bigger jump in Victoria over the same period."

"Australians may be more at risk from gun crime than ever before with the country's underground market for firearms ballooning in the past decade," the report added. "[T]he national ban on semi-automatic weapons following the Port Arthur massacre had spawned criminal demand for handguns."

Much as the Mafia and other organized criminal outfits rose to power, wealth, and prominence by supplying illegal liquor during Prohibition in the United States, outlaw motorcycle gangs in Australia appear to be building international connections and making money by supplying guns to willing buyers.

Scary trend in Australian gun crime



MONDAY’S siege in Sydney that saw three people shot and three held hostage before the gunman turned the firearm on himself was a terrifying reminder of the Lindt cafe crisis just over a year ago.

It comes as another man was shot dead in Victoria at close range last night, three days after a man was killed in a suspected shooting at a Melbourne motel and four days after a man was shot dead at a property in Ipswich, Queensland, with police called just after 2am.

Last month, a man accused of a shooting in Canberra allegedly boasted to police that the victim would be dead if he had pulled the trigger, because he had significant experience with firearms, despite not having a licence.

There were 207 firearms deaths in Australia in 2013, a rate of 0.93 per 100,000 people, higher than in 19 other countries, including the UK, Bolivia and Zimbabwe.

While we often shake our heads in horror at America’s problems with gun crime, it’s clear we are far from immune from the deadly influence of firearms.

-----------

In New South Wales, weapons offences have risen 8.7 per cent per year over the past five years, to 11,471 in the year to September 2015.

The New Daily reported in November that incidents involving firearms rose 83 per cent in NSW from 2005-6 to 2014-5. Charges for possession and trafficking of guns in South Australia saw a 49 per cent rise over four years.

------------
Victoria is similarly affected, with a 52 per cent increase in firearms offences to 3645 between 2009-10 and 2014-15. In Tasmania, there was a 26 per cent increase in firearm-related offences between December 2012 and 2015.

Victoria police chief Steve Fontana this week expressed fears about the rapid increase in shootings in the past eight months. The state’s Crime Statistics Agency Chief Statistician Fiona Dowsley said in December: “Weapons and explosives offences and drug use and possession offences have again seen statistically significant increases this quarter.”

We have more guns because we have more people 320 million vs 28 .5 million. Now! What is the land mass of both countries? How far are people spread out?

Spike in gun crimes reveals nation's secret gun problem

Australians may be more at risk from gun crime than ever before with the country’s underground market for firearms ballooning in the past decade.

Previously unseen police statistics show that the number of pistol-related offences doubled in Victoria and rose by 300 per cent in New South Wales. At least two other states also saw a massive jump in firearms-related offences during the same period.

----------

Taken together, the data suggests that despite our tough anti-gun laws, thousands of weapons are either being stolen or entering the country illegally.

Associate Professor Philip Alpers, one of Australia’s leading firearms researchers and a director of the Centre for Armed Violence Reduction at the University of Sydney, said the national ban on semi-automatic weapons following the Port Arthur massacre had spawned criminal demand for handguns.

Crazy coincidence guys... every single 1st world country in the world with strict gun control and a government that can enforce gun control laws has friendly criminals! What are the odds? Everywhere else in the world criminals know that they'll be more successful if they use a gun... but in countries with gun control, they choose not to out of the goodness of their own hearts! Amazing!
