They'll use it as an example as to why they need more gun control. And all of the Aussies I know enjoy their guns quite a bit even if the process is prohibitive.

Also I should repot that all of my friends and their friends are safe.

Just checked in with a friend of mine over there and she was at this place on Friday and has friends who work at the store.

In a country with so few guns in civilian hands they sure do have some well equipped SWAT teams.

Seems like a bad situation all around. Hostages in blocking the windows, stupid terrorist flag blocking another section and a deranged potential terrorist demanding to speak to the PM. Send in the Australian SAS.
