Sounds like an eminently sensible idea.

Living in the UK, where gun control is extremely strict, it seems that this is one of the places our law is actually reasonable (don't even go there on investigatory powers ....)

I am sure that most residents of Austrailan towns and cities won't complain about not being allowed the various types of gun banned by this act.

As far as criminals still having guns, while this is true, in our country it does seem that gun control generally has kept the amount of shootings less that it would maybe have been otherwise, and certainly a lot lower than in for instance the US.
