the firearm is not the problem it is just the tool used,
we have seen different tools used here in Australia that are not banned,
we know it would be ludicrous to try to ban them
we all know that the nut behind the butt is the cause of firearm incidences,
firearms do not have a mind of there own and cannot get up and kill people
Duncan I get yours and Gwion's perspective I do,
I just don't agree that making another rule because this ones not working
because someone didn't take things seriously enough and did not do there job is a good thing
especially when it penalises other law abiding people who do no wrong
nobody can legislate crime away, cannot, cant
it will only stop the law abiding people from doing or having what they had or did, we all know that here in oz
the people who do this type of thing don't care, they will find a tool to do the job
it does come down to someone did not do what they should have to stop this wacko from walking the streets let alone having a firearm
no different to the warnings that were not taken seriously regarding Martin Bryant
and we need to get a media service that tells the truth
yea that's going to happen
we also have hardware stores that sell firearms here in oz legally, why cant a hardware store sell firearms
my daughter who has lived in America 5 years, cannot buy a firearm till she is a resident, do not believe the crap you hear about buying guns in the US
