Australian PM Anthony Albanese proposes tougher national gun laws after mass shooting in Sydney

Albanese said he would propose new restrictions, including limiting the number of guns a licensed owner can obtain.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday proposed tougher national gun laws after a mass shooting targeted a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney's Bondi Beach, leaving at least 15 people dead.

Albanese said he would propose new restrictions, including limiting the number of guns a licensed owner can obtain. His proposals were announced after the authorities revealed that the older of the two gunmen — who were a father and son — had held a gun license for a decade and amassed his six guns legally.

“The government is prepared to take whatever action is necessary. Included in that is the need for tougher gun laws,” Albanese told reporters.

I wonder how many Australians are hearing this creep and thinking “Yes. That’s the answer. Disarm us.”

Putting on my tin foil hat, a Hanukkah celebration on the beach in Australia at a location where a terrorist can gain the high ground with security provided with a minimal number of people.

Instead of looking at all the antisemitism in Australia and allowing uncontrolled Muslim immigration into the country, the first thing the Prime Minister wants to do is crack down on gun owners.

Not saying the Labor Government in Australia was in on the terrorist event, but they have been leading the charge for a Palestinian State.

Well it’s now obvious to me this priminister isn’t at all interested in addressing muslim hatred in Australia.

Either he’s a closet muslim himself, scared shitless of ‘em or he’s a complete incompetent.....or all three.

Yeah, have to keep those .22 rifles out of the hands of farmers/ranchers who shoot rabbits tearing up their farms.

He should ban religious observances by Jews while he’s at it.

Maybe ban Judaism. Or any religion except Islam.

Also impose Sharia law and make women dress in Cousin It outfits.

Talk about missing the issue. The guy is a moron.

It’s perfect! More government restrictions that don’t solve the problem, but harm the law-abiding!

Finally common sense. Oh, I misspelled STOOPIDNESS. Guess knowing he’d be okay for a while the assclown on the bridge knew he need not duck down. Eventually some incoming started him ducking. 😠

How about an ultimatum to Islam: Another jihadi attack Mecca gets nuked and all Muslims are exiled.
Then follow through.

They always target law-abiding citizens for the simple fact that they are law-abiding. That is much easier than getting criminals to stop. Australia, which already has very tough gun laws, will be outrightly draconian .

Despite being a known member of a Sydney based ISIS terror cell. I guess they were afraid to offend ISIS.
