    Explain again how the registry will prevent this?
    If he hasn't said it already, Cahill will chime in and say the gun used in the shootings was stolen and that's how registry would of stopped the violence.

    Because the thief would get a bad conscience and regret stealing it and hand it in to the Police? I am just trying to connect the dots but Cahill only drops crumbs and there are a lot of hungry birds hanging around.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    And he’d be wrong - again.

    Hope the affected families have time to grieve before this is politicized both here and in the more public domains

    If you listen between the lines, especially to Coster, that horse has bolted.

    Drugs are way easier to detect than guns, drugs & firearms go hand in hand, no shortage of drugs on the streets

    I give Coster credit that he didn't generalise and actually said a tiny (or maybe a very smal) minority of licensed fire arms owners likely sell on to criminals. And he is probably correct.
    He also said that registration has put the spot light on owners to ensure that their security was tight. I agree with him on that. He was actually more objective about the event than some on here.
    While most of the criticism of registration is valid we shouldn't be blinded to any benefits or become too subjective.

    When things like yesterday happen some on here are inclined to immediately whine like they are the biggest victims. Spare me.

    I wouldn’t give the guy any credit, he’s the worst police commissioner ever and shouldn’t be in the job.

    Actually, my bad. That was Cahill’s interview I was referring to. Not Coster.
