Most reading this article are likely aware of the horrendous terrorist attack on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, which claimed sixteen lives, that transpired several days prior to this writing. As is no surprise, the Australian government, which has allowed unvetted immigration from problematic regions, now proposes cracking down even harder on guns, in a country with some of the strictest gun control on earth. Yeah, that will do it. Maybe they should make murder more illegal while they are at it. And, courtesy of their gun control, only the two terrorists who committed the atrocity were armed.
According to the information we have so far, the initial police response was abysmal; cops were close by, but the rampage went on for over twenty minutes. A heroic civilian on scene tackled and disarmed one of the two killers, and the hero was then shot by the police as he was holding the long gun he wrestled away from the killer! Fortunately, he survived. The terrorist he disarmed ran away, re-armed, and continued shooting people. This is yet another reminder that holding a long gun in such a situation puts a target on you, especially around police officers this inept. They failed to neutralize the killers, yet shot the good guy. Amazing.
Finally, the incident came to an immediate end when a good cop showed up. Apparently, a detective. He arrived on scene, drew his pistol, and shot both murderers from a distance that is being reported as roughly forty meters. He killed one and dropped the other, who survived, but was neutralized. So, two rifle-armed killers stopped by a man with only his handgun. At forty meters. Thus, we have another example of accomplishing the task that nobody wishes to be faced with, yet may prove necessary: stopping rifle-armed killers with your handgun.
