As with many other situation such as this, one good guy with a gun could have prevented the 2 innocent person’s deaths.

Oh, how could I forget? Australia is a “gun free zone!”

In 2008, gun owners in Australia were forced by law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms which were destroyed by their own Government.

If one of them had been available yesterday to a good guy, the Moslem thug would be taking a dirt nap and everybody else would be alive.

No it isn't. I'm a gun owner myself - one of somewhere around a million Australian gun owners owning millions of guns between us.

No, they weren't. Your information is seriously flawed.

(It wasn't 2008 - it was 1998 - and most of the guns were voluntarily sold to the government in a buyback - people were not forced to surrender them in most cases. They chose to for a fair cash price).

There's a lot of misinformation on the web about the situation in Australia.
