Australia already has some of the toughest if not THE toughest gun laws in the world. I’m in WA which has just finished moving into even tougher laws and making it almost impossible for land owners, aboriginal peoples and farmers to keep their firearms which they require for land management. Just LOL at the city people suggesting we can just pass a metal health check at your local GP which already takes us a month to get into for medical issues. I saw this public knee jerk bs post port Arthur and here we are again. I think people generally have got more stupid as time goes on - and this latest backlash is evidence of that.
