Some believe the gun laws in Australia worked. Yes, they DID for law abiding citizens.
Laws mean NOTHING to the black market and terror rings - if anything, they ENHANCE them. The amount of machine guns, unlicensed handguns, semi-automatic rifles and heavy ordnance I have been offered in my years of firearm collecting is bewildering. The Police know it, the Government knows it - they just don't want Joe Blogs and Joanna Blogs knowing. Let alone the Anti-Gun establishments knowing the truth.
I could go out tomorrow and purchase any number of illegal handguns.
Shooting someone followed by a by-stander during a re-enactment on the other hand is several shades of sheer DUMB. There are safety parameters and rules in place at re-enactments, one of which is that someone visibly checks for either a loaded (as in projectile) firearm, and also checks to make sure none of the re-enacters actually are possessing projectiles. How these safety parameters were ignored or overlooked speaks for itself, late arrival or NOT.
