With his criminal record, he could not have even had an A/B licence. Even if the gun was one most people could readily own, he would have been prohibited.
Thanks for the info.
He should NOT have been granted political asylum in Australia for starters. And since his arrival in Australia & his criminal record at least thereafter, with many serious charges against him, he should have been firmly locked up for good if not deported. Noteworthy however is that the flag he was forcing the hostages yesterday to display was not the flag of islamic republic of iran. It was exactly the flag of saudi arabia in arabic writing but in black not green. Also known as Shahada flag of islam; the colour is significant; a black flag in islam is a declaration of war ie ‘an activist islamist’. In fact black is the real colour of the islam & islamists.
