Great post. As a retired LEO with 50 years combined local and state service I have seen the failure of gun control both on the street, and among officer killed incidents. Of all my fellow officers slain on my city department service, ALL were killed using illegally obtained guns, and ALL used by persons prohibited from even touching a firearm. One was murdered on-duty by a crackhead felon paroled by my state board for a prior murder.
Gun Control, "gun safety" laws and reasonable gun regulation are pointless and contrary to the US Constitution; and leave unarmed citizens as sheep before the wolves of criminals and oppressive government. Thinking citizens need to understand and acknowledge that salient fact.

Further proving that prohibition policies are useless. Thanks for sharing!
As usual firearms prohibition works both ways. The victims of the beach attack were unarmed. The very laws ment to protect them caused them to be vulnerable. It simply comes down to politicians who don’t trust the people to defend themselves from criminals and government overreach.
As a former Occupational Safety Professional, I can confidently state that the illusion of safety provided by either the presence (personal protective equipment, barricade tape, lock, warning sign, etc.) or absence (energy source, guns, knives, train car on tracks, etc.) of an inanimate object has caused many serious injuries and fatalaties.
The failure that caused the Bondi Beach shooting was systemic. Australia's politicritters won't admit it.
Exactly! Another example, Army ranges are rife with the "safety first" mantra to the point of implementing useless requirements that often detract from safety.

Exactly! The illusion of safety might be the worst aspect of the false promise of gun control.
