| 1459307 | 2019-03-21 06:17:00 | While I agree that the possession of MSSAs are not necessary here, I also think that these proposed law changes are a thought-less knee-jerk reaction. The goverment should be looking at rules that would have prevented this nutter from obtaining any weapons in the first place and left the law-abiding citizens alone. But wait ! that may have meant more background checks and invasive actions by government "spy agencies" Nobody is going to win out of this. |

| 1459309 | 2019-03-21 07:03:00 | With no gun register they don't know how many Mssa's are out there. I have already heard today someone say I will give back the ones in my gun safe but not the ones hidden elsewhere on the property. This is half the problem already. As someone who has just gained a firearms licence but rarely shoots a gun I can't see why anyone needs a semi automatic. I went for my licence so son can store his hunting rifle at ours rather than at the flat where he lives in town. |

| 1459310 | 2019-03-21 08:03:00 | I see a lot of people arguing against these changes but I've yet to see any of them offer one valid argument why they need these particular type of weapons or why anyone bought them in the first place. Many of these weapons are designed specifically as anti personal weapons and are inferior for anything else. Yeah it won't get rid of them all or prevent some criminals from having them, so we should just do nothing then? The less of these things in circulation the better. |

| 1459311 | 2019-03-21 08:03:00 | this is just a publicity stunt to make them look good in front of the victims families. its insulting. it will not make anything safer, it will not stop any similar attack. this will not do anything other than push more firearms into the hands on crims. it will be expensive and waste huge amounts of police time. both things police are very much short of. if they put the money into the police, you will have a much safer country which is about the only thing that can stop these types of attacks. |

There are a lot of things that we can buy in life that we don't need and that are dangerous. Some people do it out of pure interest, some have it as a hobby or a talent. I don't think anyone should have to offer an argument that they need something that they lawfully purchased as long as they're not using it for anything that hurts anyone else. I think what most of those people are saying is that if you're going to drop $100-200 million and restrict people's access to something that hasn't been a problem for many years and only is now because of one foreign loon bag coming in to the country, then perhaps that might not be a good policy and is a knee jerk reaction. You would hope the experts would take the time, wait for the full results of the investigation to come out, figure out exactly what happened and then decide on policy that is thoughtful and effective as opposed to rushing into it. |

| 1459313 | 2019-03-21 18:38:00 | Anyone who thinks that changing the law will make a blind bit of difference is totally deluded. For some strange reason criminals/assorted idiots do not follow the law. I believe that is why we call them criminals. | CliveM (6007) | ||
