see what happens when anyone can access any gun.
Suseonline,
Again you're coming back with a runaway comment. Nowhere did anyone suggest that anyone should be entitled to own a gun. It's like saying anyone should be allowed to drive a car. It has to be done with competence & sense of responsibility. Only those who have completed National Service can own one and, if they go haywire through drug & drink then they forfeit that privilege.

Individual,

I hate to say it but anyone is allowed to drive a car, so the analogy doesn't apply.

is Mise,
Ever heard of suspended licenses or licenses taken away altogether, or health issues, age etc. ? How do you obtain a driver's license ? Renewing licenses every year etc. Try and walk into a gun shop & say you want to buy a firearm & ammo. You think they just sell it to you without proof of competency ?

If we want truth tell me how likely such an attack will take place here.
Then tell me who would use the guns.
A story growing bigger tells of two eight year olds caught trying to light a bush fire.
What if such as them stole dads gun.
A thread built on a personal view/wish.
Ignoring the fact by a wide margin Australians, and be grateful for it, will never let such a thing happen.
Our gun laws protect us far better than freeing up gun ownership would.

Belly,

Why do you think offenders choose multiple killings to get the lasting attention they seek?

Individual,

What you say only applies to public roads and public land, on private land anyone can drive anything.
It is quite common in country areas for unlicenced, underage children to drive an unregistered/unregisterable vehicle down to the front gate of a property to catch the bus to school.

Firearms and their users must be registered/licenced regardless of where they are; so any such analogy between motor vehicles and firearms is thus faulty.
