I’ll only dig up my stashed guns when the rest of the population wakes up and revolts against our oppressive scumbag Govt!

Fuck that! The police don’t get to decide what the laws should be. That’s parliaments decision. nopolicestate springst

If Police request it..are we kidding ourselves, let's wait until more innocent people die, then we ask again if we should change the law..🤨🤔🙄

Gun Laws make no difference to gangland violence. Their guns are mainly illegal anyway!

Gun laws only affect the law abiding. This is where the focus needs to be.

What a week response from the Premier. “We’ll change the laws if asked...” how many fatal shootings in a month will it take? 10, 20, 30?

A warning to all Muslim security guards the word is out that white supremacists are out to get you!!!!

Good ban them all

Bit late.

Gun laws are for legal weapons and law abiding owners. Doesn’t seem relevant ?

Fuck OFF Vic police & Government, Control illegal guns from getting into criminals hands. If you can't do that why do you go after legal firearms owners? Because we are easier targets than you doing ya JOB! SINCE WHEN DO POLICE MAKE FUCKING LAWS & POLICY?!?!

The police have been requesting it since Martin Bryant. They have also been requesting tougher court house laws and fed up with arresting criminals to be released to them arrest again. It’s simple, make Australia safe wether it’s gun laws or locking these pricks up or deportation

Change all the laws you want but if you can’t stop the flood of illegal pistols entering this country the shootings will not stop

That would be good. There is too much crime in Melb.

A bit odd. Does he know something we don't about the gunman?

Look at all the right wing whingers come out of their caves😅😅😅 Sorry dumb arses but Melbournes voted 5th safety city in the world and no1 in Australia

Melbs has gone to shitsville fuckedup

Melbin will continue to be crime riddled while comrade Andrews is in charge

Out of control city!!

Toughen up on criminals!
