25. And this is atleast the 2nd mass shooting there in the past 2 months

Yesterday

18 people were injured in a shooting in Sydney in October.

And, given the high incidence of firearms being stolen in AU, along with advacements in 3d printing technology capable of making homemade weapons....do you really think that any gun control laws are going to be able to prevent a shooting if someone is motivated enough to carry one out?
