The tragic events that unfolded on Sydney’s Bondi Beach, where two terrorists brutally claimed the lives of 15 innocent individuals, have ignited a fervent call for stricter gun control laws from New South Wales Premier Chris Minns.

FOX News published a video of Minns responding to a reporter who asked if gun control could be made more stringent.

In the wake of this horrific attack, Minns expressed his firm stance on the need for legislative action, stating, “The short answer is ‘yes.’” His vision is clear: to introduce measures that would make it significantly more challenging to obtain firearms that serve no practical purpose within the community.

Premier Minns emphasized the risks posed by these weapons, questioning their necessity outside of certain professional spheres. “If you’re not a farmer, if you’re not involved in agriculture, why do you need these massive weapons that put the public in danger and make life dangerous and difficult for New South Wales police?” he argued, highlighting the heightened threat these firearms pose to public safety and law enforcement.

However, Minns did not provide details on whether the terrorists involved in the attack had any ties to farming or agriculture, nor did he comment on the frequency with which firearms are misused by those legitimately working in these fields. The revelation that one of the attackers legally owned the guns used in the assault underscores the urgent need for reassessment of current firearm regulations.

Minns added, “If you’re not a farmer, if you’re not involved in agriculture, why do you need these massive weapons that put the public in danger and make life dangerous and difficult for New South Wales police.”

He did not say if the two terrorists — one of whom legally owned the guns possessed during the attack — were farmers or otherwise involved in agriculture. Nor did he say how often farmers or others actually employed in agriculture misuse the firearms in view.
