Poor Aussies really need to get their gun rights.

Meanwhile I hear CNN was twisting this into another reason Americans need to ban guns altogether.

Worked out well for Australia, I see.

Yep, just one hostage with a CCW could have brought this to a quick end.

I recall reading that Australian citizens who are ex-military could carry handguns. I'm not sure it that's true or if so, how common it is.

I can't believe it was post #24 before this was pointed out. Kudos to you.

Something like this is going to happen here in the states and indeed something similar if not exact has already happened. But it is more likely to be repeated in areas with high gun control and less likely to happen where gun ownership and carry percentages are high. OTOH, it's already happened on a military base and unless the Pentagon and WH brass get their heads removed from their fourth point of contact, will happen again.
