Incidentally, the rifle one of the attackers were using is a Beretta BRX1. It is a straight pull bolt action rifle, and was introduced in 2021. How it got into Australia is a very interesting question, I think.
If a fucking island surrounded by water has issues with contraband getting in, it's easy to believe the Powers That Be™ wanted it to happen, doesn't it?
Well, I'm kinda "professionally" curious, as it were, because I am pretty well versed on firearm laws in the US, but only superficially in Australia. I mean, I know about their ban, and all, but I know the ban isn't all firearms, that some people still have hunting rifles and shotguns. I don't know if new stuff like that Beretta is allowed, or not.
They (father & son) apparently owned 6 guns legally. The Beretta BRX1 is even legal in Canada! And we have Draconian laws easily as bad as Australia's.
It's legal with whatever their licensing system is. Or, is until next week.
If they had the connections to actually smuggle illegal guns into Australia, I presume they would have gotten proper combat weapons. When Islamists murder people in Europe, they have full auto AKs as often as not.

It is legal in NSW, probably about to change.

It's almost as if gun control laws were always a bandage on an underlying cultural sickness.
It's almost as if gun control laws did nothing to the underlying stress, so it just keeps getting worse at the fringes.
