When Martin Bryan shootings happen in Tasmania, hardcore gum laws were formed in Australia making it pretty much impossible for the average person to buy a gun legally. Considering this guy bought these guns so easily makes you wonder what if the laws were different.
Really the only people who need guns are law enforcement and farmers. Automatic and semi-automatic weapons have no place in the hands of the public.

Since tighter gun laws were introduced in Australia they have been more gun related crimes.  Criminals have more guns than ever. Where there is prohibition a black market will emerge to supply the guns to the people who demand them. Government prohibition never works. 

^^^ This.  Christ, just look at the War on Drugs.  Complete failure, and a national embarassment.
