Like in France? Oh wait, assault rifles were used there too.

I think the emphasis was on "likely". You can't prevent it from ever happening. But when assault rifles cost hundreds of thousands on the black market, you can bet it will deter at least some people from going through great lengths to get them. Some will though. That's never going to change.

Why would money be a consideration when you plan to end your life anyway? People in Western countries have access to quite a bit of credit and since they have no intention of paying it back there is no care about interest rates.The process to get an Assault Rifle in the U.S is already quite rigorous and as I mentioned earlier 10 assault rifles are going to put you over a hundred thousand dollars. Australia's black market might be more supply constraint because it is an island country with an overwhelming majority of its population living along the coasts, making enforcement easier.
