So a guy in Australia murders his wife, daughter and 4 grandkids before calling the cops and killing himself, the first mass shooting in the country since 1996. This is obviously a tragedy and we would consider it as such, I don't know what drives a man to murder his family like that but its safe to say he would have done it whether he had a gun or not. Gun control people not so much, they blame it on Australia's softening gun laws, below are some of the highlights.
"But gun- control experts have been saying for years that Australia’s laws have slowly softened, and they said it was still far too common for Australians to have more than one weapon at home around children. “Like all other jurisdictions across Australia, Western Australia’s gun laws have also been eroded as pro-gun lobby groups continue to place pressure on governments,” said Sam Lee, chairman of Gun Control Australia. “From a gun regulation perspective, this horrific shooting raises many concerns about access to firearms, particularly on rural properties.” Among the ways the regulations in Western Australia have been eroded, critics say: No police checks are required to obtain second or subsequent hunting rifles; firearms safety-training courses are not required; there is no minimum age to obtain a minor’s permit; and there is no limit on the quantity of ammunition that can be purchased at any given time."
