I am not anti-gun. I’m pro-knife. Consider the merits of the knife.
In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution of knives for guns would promote physical fitness. We’d turn into a whole nation of great runners. Plus, knives don’t ricochet. And people are seldom killed while cleaning their knives.Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]

The assessment sheds new light on the…motive in the foiled attack on the #WHCD on April 25. Its conclusions, while preliminary, offer the most definitive evidence to date that the #Iran conflict, which has killed thousands in the #MiddleEast & rattled the global #economy, could have been a trigger.

The report, a preliminary assessment by #DHS's Office of Intelligence & Analysis dated April 27, assessed that the suspect Cole Allen had "multiple social & political grievances." It concluded that the #IranWar "may have contributed to his decision to conduct the attack," citing social media posts from Allen that criticized #US actions in the #war.

More about what the #Bondi #RC Interim rpt doesn’t talk about. This time from New Politics Newsletter:

“The interim findings of the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion were announced at the end of last week – and while most of it at this stage seems to be uncontroversial, the actions of the NSW Police seems to have been underplayed, and the information that ASIO and the Australian Federal Police may have held on the two Bondi shooters, and how their inactions may have contributed to the tragedy in December 2025, has been withheld.The nine recommendations that have been released seem to be unremarkable, and have suggested a tighter co-ordination of security and police resources, modest reforms to firearms control and a gun buy-back scheme, and the suggestion that existing legal frameworks are adequate, albeit with some strengthening of laws in certain areas. Yet there’s an uncomfortable reality that’s sitting under the surface: if the legal framework is already adequate, then why did these failures occurs? What exactly did ASIO know, and will we ever find out?
[…] the two Bondi attackers […] weapons were legally obtained, intelligence agencies had been aware for some time of the risks they posed to the community, and warnings about these vulnerabilities seem to have been identified but not acted upon.
[…] what exactly is the point of ASIO and the Australian Federal Police if it can’t transform the information they hold on these people that are a danger to society, into prevention and protections for the community?[The] Royal Commission should look at leadership within these security agencies, what their priorities are, and what’s happening to all the massive increases in funding that both ASIO and the Australian Federal Police always receive…

@dalereardon
There is not agreed way forward at the National level. It’s not so much about gun control policies as partisan politics and how many votes are in it.Tinkering the edges is not going to increase the funding and personnel that Firearms Registries required to tighten up enforcement of current rules and regs, let alone any new processes that might be implemented. It’s still up in the air.
Furthermore, the one thing that Port Arthur teaches us is to implement a National Firearms Register, and that is still to be done. Likely never will… so much for govt(s) and #Police concerns for public safety.

Nick Bryant had this comment about #AmericanExceptionalism: "Acts of political violence are fast becoming as much a feature of American life as school shootings. They set apart the United States."

Jon Stewart explained the theme of this year's White House Correspondents' Association dinner: "Let's hold a dinner where the free press is celebrating an Administration that's doing everything in its power to destroy it."
Jon Stewart continued: "The White House Correspondents' Association dinner was supposed to be an evening of fun and merriment until, as most things in America, it was interrupted by gun fire."
