Mr Walter Mikac and others talk about "gun laws watered down" or "we don't want the current gun laws watered down". Can someone tell me what gun laws have actually been watered down?
Also, Reference is always made to John Howard's Gun Laws and the buy back scheme but no reference to why an investigation wasn't carried out as to how and from who Martin Bryant obtained the weapon? As I recoil. Howard at the time stated that we don't want to point fingers or blame etc but why not, every time there is a incident involving a firearm, every law abiding LAFO is attached or threatened with further restrictions.

Are you suggesting corruption in an Australian state police force? Profiteering for personal gain through criminal contacts or off-loading to mates as a sideline?
Ha! No way... never in a million years!

Marty was a retard....who had shot a few tin cans with an air rifle, and took an AR10 into the gunshop, with a round in the chamber, not knowing how to operate it.....
Finished his first spree with one round left in the mag, an 'emergency' round pending a fresh... ..yep retard...
It was also said the guy in the broad arrow had a pock marked acne scarred face, when you MB was said to have a baby smooth face...
There was also a mysterious camo clad guy sitting in the passenger seat of one of the emergency vehicles....who has since been given a name....
and the most interesting is the meat wagon that was purchased just prior to PAM, disposed of after PAM... that could carry several years worth of Tassy homicides.....
But anyway, its all history now....at least until the 30yr embargo is lifted!

He had managed twenty head shots, from the right hip, in 90 seconds EVEN THOUGH HE WAS A LEFT HANDER! There are only about 20 shooters that good (better than Olympians) in the Western World. They are the SPOOKS who work for various governments. Martin stopped shooting after firing 29 shots (of the 30 in a magazine). This leaves a live round in the breech while changing magazines as they found out later. To count while firing at a rate of 48 rounds per minute is a technique that requires tens of thousands of shots to perfect. It is a military skill-at-arms far beyond a mentally retarded youth who fired at a few tins and bits of cardboard in the bush.
Don't immediately slam it down as tin-foil hat crap, this was for real.

Not to argue, but can you show the references to the details you have mentioned above. I'd like to read the lot. Clearly I haven't read all that you, Genesis and others have.
*Edit: never mind, I've found all your info almost word for word here

This doesn't mean he is innocent but it does mean the opportunity to fully understand the event was never taken. The authorities decided a trial would be too traumatic for the victims families but how the hell does that make any sense? There have been thousands of murders thoughout Australian history, no doubt traumatic for those families too but why the special treatment for the Port Arthur massacre?
Something also to consider is when you obtain a gun permit you are automatically on the watch list. No criminal record required. You are flagged on L.E data bases, you are monitored on forums like this and from what I understand about Australian gun law you waive your right to refuse L.E warrantless entry to your home. That is what ot means to be a law abiding gun owner.

Suggested Martin Place seige would have been worse with an Adler vs a pump action.
Hard to swallow this s**t.
