Gun owners need to understand that it isn't a right, its a privilege the rest of us allow only if conditions are met.

If something happens that alters the situation those conditions are set for, they need to respect changes that may come.

Setting themselves up as victims, like they have here, makes me question the participants mental capacity to evaluate their own behaviours, therefore their own risk to those around them.

Two people were killed by a gun owner in circumstances where his ease of access to guns greatly increased the severity of the consequences. Communities have a right to expect gun owners to seriously appreciate the risks of their firearm possession.

Also screw the Nationals for making this a political fight, especially a rural v metro fight. This is bigger than you're never seen dirt akubra hat and white pressed shirt with rolled up sleeves country cosplay.

If some idiot wraps his car around a tree and government decides to reduce the speed limit on that stretch of road, do you whine about how you've been unfairly targeted? "It wasn't me that had an accident!"

Some idiot ran some people over deliberately and now I have to get rid of my ute and buy a sedan.
At my own expense.
And this is going to stop another idiot how?

Yeah, I'm going to whinge.

I believe you can still buy utes in Australia.

So, related, but not a direct result and i'm not sure where its at. But theres been rolling gun buybacks for a few years now, to reduce the cost impact on gun owners of getting rid of some of their guns, especially old easily forgotten ones. So cost mitigation has been and should continue to be a component.
