AS THE AUSTRALIAN Government indicates that it will seek to tighten gun laws after the massacre at Bondi, observers are asking why the country’s gun laws have suddenly become an issue only after the shooting?

“This is your typical knee-jerk, vacuous response from an empty regime which just wants to distract from its own failures,” says Ben, a Jew who wishes to remain anonymous . “It’s pathetic. In fact, it isn’t even good enough to be pathetic. It’s beneath contempt. And so predictable it’s embarrassing. Do you really think that Islamic fundamentalists who want to kill Jews, or anyone else for that matter, will be deterred by fresh tightening of the already tight gun laws that were deemed adequate a second before the first shot was fired at Bondi, Mr Albanese? Even if you banned all Muslims in the country from obtaining guns, these fanatics would still find a weapon. If not a gun, then a knife, or even a bomb. It’s not the weapon that’s crucial here, Mr Albanese, it’s the person.”
