Anti-gun lobby takes a shot at Olympic shooters

An anti-gun lobby group says Australia should forego competing in five Olympic and Commonwealth Games shooting competitions to allow for a much broader ban on handguns. Roland Browne of the National Coalition for Gun control says changes to handgun laws proposed for every state and territory do not go far enough. "The reasons that these reforms fall short is that the gun lobby has convinced the government that there is a need for high-powered semi-automatic handguns in Commonwealth and Olympic Games sports," Mr Browne said.

Yep. They've gone nuts.
