re: : sue12 -aussie gun stats dlux, changes to gun laws were first proposed in Victoria in the 1980's after the Hoddle and Queen St. shootings with about 22 ammendments proposed. The gun buyback came after the Port Arthur shootings.
All were knee-jerk reactions, and as the stats indicated, have not have had the desired effect.
The reason is obvious, all only affected the law abiding and responsible gun owners. In the case of the 22 ammendements, only one amendement, (it was proposed that an extra 5 years jail be added to any sentence if a firearm was involved in the offence), affected the criminal.
