Hey Americans, take notes
Take note on how to vote with emotions? Precisely how we got to where we are actually. Perhaps it’s Australia that should take note on what not to do. Strengthen what’s already working and move forward as a country.
Oh, this is going to be a fun thread!
I’ve always seen Australia as a success story for gun control so am a bit skeptical that it needs changing. There’s a decent argument that the balance was already found 30 years ago, but it’s a complicated topic and tensions are high right now so whatever the right move is, it’s less likely to be found during the period when a more knee-jerk response can override those considerations.
The man arrived in Australia in 1998 on a student visa, authorities said, and was an Australian resident when he died. Officials wouldn’t confirm what country he had migrated from.
A foreigner should not be allowed to obtain a gun licence.
This is the first loophole that needs to be closed.
The paragraph you quoted says he was Australian.
Australian resident, not citizen. That’s not exactly the same thing.
