"Sensible gun laws and I give Australia as an example, work. The most effective of these are having checks on nutters, proper training, guns locked away when not in direct use and restricted semi-auto rifles to need."
- having checks on nutters Criminal records check only
- proper training, Where ?, you do not need to do a training course.
- guns locked away when not in direct use I don't have a problem with that
- restricted semi-auto rifles Knee jerk reaction to one or two events.
"Sensible gun laws and I give Australia as an example, work."
Do they ?. Have you read the papers lately. 23 or so shootings in Sydney
in the last month. Even the police minister is saying it is with illegal and illegally imported hand guns.
Melbourne - tit for tat killings by the criminal gangs for quite a few years.
The cops weren't doing too much to stop it because they were killing each other at night, out of the public view UNTIL one of them did in two of them
in a car at a Sunday football match. Then the cops jumped down their throats but another 10+ died before it was stopped. And it only stopped because all the protagonists were dead, over 36 of them.
What about the 2 Lebbo families shooting at each other for the last 5 years ?
All the above were done with illegal firearms.
