These are just the facts not a defence of the newly made criminal for owning his own gun he bought legally.<br /><br />Crims also know this and will be out looking for these guns (in the usual limited hiding places, under mattresses, ceilings, cupboards, and garages) during their burglary shopping sprees.<br /><br />We wont know these figures because of course the gun owners won't be able to admit their gun was stolen (which they weren't supposed to have) during a robbery. These stolen guns (that now don't exist) will enter the underworld but police will say "we are safer for it".<br /><br />Eventually some of these guns will likely be sold, but only to those with cash and who wont tell police. That means the guns will likely find criminal hands with available cash and no tell!<br /><br />So we have powerful semi automatic firearms that represented the smallest percentage of guns used in burglaries, armed disputes, suicides and robberies and were previously held in secure safes but now kept in unsafe places which will likely make their way into the wrong hands.<br /><br />The most important question not being debated and fixed is HOW DID THIS AUSTRALIAN MALE WHO HAD BEEN TO MANY SUSPECT COUNTRIES WHERE HE WAS RADICALISED NOT RAISE SERIOUS RED FLAGS AND CONCERNS TO THOSE GOVERMENT AGENCIES TASKED TO PROTECT US?<br /><br />If we had a half descent media we would have answers from our elected Government officials about this.<br />We don't so can expect it can happen again. Only this time they will use Ten shot 22's and 1080 in local water supplies or a truck load of readily available fertiliser. <br /><br />But who is surprised when Government bureaucracy is involved? <br /><br />Reagan was right. The 12 most frightening words to a law abiding citizen are... <br />"We are from the Government and we are here to help you" <br /><br /> <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
