It is not an "unfortunate" consequence, it is an "ill considered" consequence to the knee jerk reaction of a small percentage of the population to one (to use your terminology) "unfortunate" act. |
Using your logic there should be no laws at all as all the "good" people will do no wrong and all the "bad" people will ignore the rules anyway.
As far as gun control goes "our" laws work perfectly well for New Zealand, I am by no means of the opinion that they will work for anyone else.
So in order to progress this discussion how about you tell "us" why these laws dont work?
Are you constantly in danger while performing your everyday duties (as a civilian obviously) at home that you need a weapon, do you have a reason to fear your government or local population, do you think Australia is about to break down into a lawless mob?
Give me one law abiding reason you would "need" access to an automatic weapon.
