New South Wales Premier Pushes More Gun Control After Bondi Beach Attack
New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has called for stricter gun controls after two terrorists killed 15 innocent people on Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday night.
FOX News published a video of Minns responding to a reporter who asked if gun control could be made stricter.
Minns said: “The short answer is ‘yes.’
He continued: “That requires legislation, and that means introducing a bill to Parliament to – I mean, to be really blunt – make it more difficult to obtain these horrible weapons that have no practical use in our community. »
Minns added: “If you’re not a farmer, if you’re not involved in agriculture, why do you need these massive weapons that put the public at risk and make life dangerous and difficult for the NSW Police. »
He did not say whether the two terrorists – one of whom legally possessed the weapons he had during the attack – were farmers or if they were involved in agriculture. He also did not say how often farmers or others actually employed in agriculture misused firearms in plain sight.
Minns also did not explain how making guns even more difficult for law-abiding citizens to acquire for self-defense would allow law-abiding citizens to better defend themselves.
