The intent and consequences were never a consideration, it was a kneejerk reaction made by politicians for political gain alone. The easy way out for them, where they can be seen to be doing something, and damn the law abiding gun owners.

For the pollies it was just, "Back to the trough, and on with the never ending series of overseas junkets and free lunches".

We want less laws more justice. Because as funny as it may seem they are most often mutually incompatible. e.g. a sober licenced motorist who is stopped at a stoplight is rammed in the rear by another vehicle, he is deemed to be partly in the wrong for being there. Don't tell me it's not true, I know of a case where this was the judgement, and when the defendant complained he was interupted by the magistrate to be told, "Mr XXXX before you go any further may I remind you that this is not a court of justice, it is a court of LAW.

What chance does an honest man stand in system like that? This is the mentality that brings about laws such as those we have forced upon us like the current Firearms act.
