I heard this argument a lot in the US after Port Arthur while taking fire from the locals about our insane gun buy-back (which appears to have been effective to date).
I'm actually representing Australia in a shooting event next year - so I do have a bias on gun laws, but the thought of a relatively inexperienced person opening up with another assault rifle under the unimaginable duress of such a situation is appalling - they're going to double the number of casualties pretty damn quick. Guns are easy enough to use, but even a stopwatch can create enough pressure to make you miss. Let alone a target that can return fire.
Regards,
Andrew.

now call me an 'ol fuddy duddy, but really? there is a very sick society right there!
so the teacher should have blown his brains all over her students and then the kids are going to be fine! whooaa! i know they would be alive..... but damn they are a mixed up people!
