Oh look, another confidently incorrect Australian putting their piece into a gun debate.

Australia banned guns,

Australia definitely has not banned civilian firearm ownership.

it was the right thing to do

Very debatable. Letting the government have the monopoly on lethal tools is giving a lot of trust to the people a fairly significant portion of the population consider corrupt.

people who need guns still have them.

Considering you think civilians can't have firearms I'd be surprised you even know what people can own in your own country

But not bloody assault rifles.

Americans can't even own (new) assault rifles. AR15's are not assault rifles, and civilians do own them in Australia too, ask me how I know.

These idiots need to look at themselves in the mirror and realise that they have an obsession with a tool designed on a single purpose, killing and most of which designed for killing humans.

They definitely do not have a single purpose, anyone who blindly says this has no idea how huge shooting sports are. In most western countries it's literally the biggest sport participation wise by a huge margin.

No criminals won't follow the law but everyone has the potential to break the law or steal guns from someone who does abide by the law.

Don't need to do that these days, submachine guns are super easy to manufacture at home, rifles and pistols are just around the corner. You'd probably be surprised how many illegal firearms are already out there, the ADF has lost a lot of stuff over the years too.

It's tough but they are killing machines and if you can't see that you are a f*cking idiot

You can say that about so many more things than firearms, the end use is what always matters though. I'd be able to argue the opposite when shooting sports are the safest sport to participate in, in Australia anyway.
