Shot and killed in the USA: Australian baseball player: We were bored so we wanted to kill someone.


The senselessness of this murder has stunned and outraged Australians, and former deputy prime minister Tim Fischer, who led Australia's gun control reforms alongside former prime minister John Howard in 1996, has called on Australians to boycott the United States. "Tourists thinking of going to the USA should think twice," Mr Fischer said. "This is the bitter harvest and legacy of the policies of the NRA that even blocked background checks for people buying guns at gunshows. I am deeply angry about this because of the callous attitude of the three teenagers - it's a sign of the proliferation of guns on the ground in the USA. There is a gun for almost every American."
Mr Fischer has suggested that Australians turning their backs on America would send a stern message about the need for tighter gun control, and help build pressure on the US Congress to finally act.
