Gun Laws
Every Australian was horrified of the events that took place
at Port Arthur Tasmania on
April 28th 1996. Every Australian mourned with the families and friends of those innocent men, women
and children.
The Government, with full support of the opposition and
minor parties, reacted swiftly and unparalleled with the introduction of tough new gun
laws.
The decision to implement the current Gun Legislation was
based, not on community consultation, but, upon the alleged actions of a mentally deficient
psychotic with an IQ in the low sixties. To legislate around the horrendous conduct of
the alleged psychotic perpetrator shows the manifest weakness of the government's response.
Australians, not so much angered by the national licensing
and registration of weapons, but legislation aimed at firearm removal from law abiding
citizens, will illustrate to the political parties at
future Federal and State elections - that they have lost touch with the people.
I am sure that we can all feel safe and secure in knowing
that sadistic killers, drug traffickers and other criminals have handed in their illegal
weapons.
Conclusion - The current Gun
Legislation will, unfortunately, effect decent, honest, hard working Australians whose
only brush with the authorities will occur as a result of their no-compliance with a
firearm legislation seemingly designed for the disarmament of the Australian People.
