Commenting on the story: National gun register in sight after Qld police shooting

It is very simple, just combine the state registries, job done.

This will not change anything however as nearly all gun deaths since the Howard gun reforms are from illegally imported or stolen guns. Our gun laws see guns owned by very responsible persons with appropriate training. We are not America so this proposed change will likely achieve absolutely nothing.

Murders are state issues and the state police have immediate access to who owns guns already. Nationalise it of course, but don’t pretend it is a panacea to the real issue. What they don’t have is access to who has possession of the multitude of illegal guns that will continue no matter what legislative changes are made. Stop hurting the innocent responsible Australians in a ridiculous attempt to look good and achieve absolutely nothing. It’s a bit like saying let’s curfew all Australians because criminals commit most crimes at night. – Rob Naudi

We are  reminded of our privilege of  living in Australia  and to remember not to take  it for granted. Let us be vocal in our support for women who have lost their right to education and equality. – Kerry Heysen
