I le aso lea i le 30 tausaga ua mavae, na alu atu ai se tagata ma ia tafanaina i le oti nisi e aofia ai fafine ma tamaiti ae o tafafao i se paka i Port Arthur.
O le fa'alavelave lea na muamua silasila toto'a ai le malo tele i Ausetalia nei i tulafono e puipuia ai tagata sivili mai osofa'iga e fa'aaogaina ai fana i le atunuu.
E manatuaina lelei e Justin Noble lana asiasiga i Port Arthur i le 30 tausaga ua mavae..
O ia ma lona to'alua na asiasi i Tasmania mo se tafaoga i le aso na tupu ai le faalavelave.
“People were so, so scared that one person, a lady, actually saw my police warrant card with my police badge, and she hung onto my belt and then a conga line of people started all hanging on to me as I was trying to walk around the site.”
O Noble na galue o se leoleo i NSW, ma na ia ta'ua o lona molimauina o le osofa'iga lea i Port Arthur, ua mausalī ai lona talitonuga i le tatau ona fa’atulafonoina le umia sa’oloto e tagata sivili o fana.
"If you are a licenced firearm holder and you have registered firearms, then first and foremost, people need to understand that it's not a right to possess a firearm and have a firearms license. It's a privilege."
Ae le'i tupu le osofa'iga i Port Arthur, na faatusa i le 3.2 miliona fana na iai i Ausetalia.
I le mae'a ai o le osofa'iga na faia ai e le malo tele se polokalame e toe fa’atau ai e le malo fana mai tagata sivili, se gun buyback scheme - ma e tusa ma le 650,000 fana na fa’atauina ma faatama'ia pe talepeina ai.
E o’o mai i le tausaga 2001, na fa’atusa i le 'ova i le miliona fana na fa’aitiitia ai talu mai le tausaga o le osofa’iga i Port Arthur.
Ae ua toe molimauina se si’itaga i le aofa’i o fana o loo umia e tagata sivili i Ausetalia.
Na saunoa Tom Kenyon o le Sporting Shooters Association of Australia, o le isi mafua’aga ona o le si’itaga i le aofa’i o tagata i Ausetalia, se population growth talu mai le 1996.
“There's more people in Australia than before Port Arthur as well, I mean it was 30 years ago. The population of Australia's increased by about 50% in that time just, I think it's just under 50% the number of firearms has increased by about 20%. So the number of firearms per person and the number of people with firearms is actually declining as a percentage of the population."
Ae na sanoa Alice Grundy o le Australia Institute, ua tatau ona toe iloilo le mata’upu lenei i le umia sa’oloto e tagata sivili o fana, ae maise le mae'a ai o le osofa'iga terorisi i Bondi i le tausaga ua mavae.
"We know there’s quite a bit of firearm theft in Australia. The biggest single source of firearms onto the black market is stolen licensed firearms. Since 2020, there've been 9,000 firearms thefts so an increase in the number of licenced firearms also can lead to an increase in the number of stolen firearms."
