20 or 30, doesn't alter the fact that the rules are horribly outdated. Like if I was going to be pedantic, I'd point to the fact that MSSA's don't exist anywhere but here.
The interesting common denominator across an awful lot of mass-shootings is that the people doing them shouldn't have had licenses under the rules that existed at the time, but did. Port Arthur, the guy was a retard. Aramoana, the guy had some fairly serious mental peculiarities. Most of the US ones, mental health issues all over the place. Being nuts has always been a bit of a no-no for owning guns. before the advent of semi-autos, as well as after.
If i was a cynic, I'd suggest that trying to restrict guns based on looks was a deliberate ploy to distract attention away from questions about how people who never should have had a license, got one and then went off the deep end.
