Maybe they shouldn't give firearm licenses to foreign nationals on terrorist watchlists?

Kinda crazy idea, I realize.

How stupid can you get!!

Do they think even for a microsecond that anyone planning to kill or rob someone is going to turn in their guns?

Also somebody should remind these morons that guns, ie, inanimate objects, don’t kill people, it’s people that kill people.

‘Buying back’ guns they didn’t sell, using someone else’s money.
Nice gun you got there. Be a shame what might happen if you don’t sell ...
The government as gangsters

And it seems they redistributed two of them to a father/son team of Pakistanis who had just returned from an ISIS training camp in the Philippines.

But hey, white Aussies, turn 'em in!

They need a Moslem give-back much more.

BTW, if the Bondi Beach thing had happened in Israel, which has less gun control than Australia, the shooters would’ve been dead inside of 2 minutes and wouldn’t have been effective for at least the last 30 seconds. So, of course, the screwball Leftist moron goes the other way.

Nothing protects citizens better than taking away their means to protect themselves. 🙄
Next automobile accident that kills a person means that we all have to turn in our automobiles. Can’t be having these dangerous things all over the place killing people, can we.
