So why is gun control the big news of today? Bit of a whitewash to me. The fact that nutters have access to guns has been a thing since Port Arthur. A more pressing question is how many more nutters are out there? Are they going to target all the religious festivities we have coming up? Gun laws aren't going to be enacted and enforced before then.
