I applaud this hero.
Good Guy without a gun
Hope he recovers without permanent damage
Australia is already passing a new gun law
restricting gun ownership to Australian citizens
https://www.npr.org/2025/12/15/nx-s1...bondi-shootingThe prime minister and regional Australian leaders agreed in a meeting on Monday to work toward even stronger gun measures in response to Sunday's shooting. Here's what they include:
- Renegotiate the National Firearms Agreement, which was enacted in 1996 and established Australia's restrictive gun laws.
- Speed up the establishment of the National Firearms Register, an idea devised by the National Cabinet in 2023 to create a countrywide database of firearms owners and licenses.
- Use more "criminal intelligence" in the firearms licensing process.
- Limit the number of guns one person can own.
- Limit the types of guns and modifications that are legal.
- Only Australian citizens can hold a firearms license.
- Introduce further customs restrictions on guns and related equipment. The Australian government could limit imports of items involving 3D printing or accessories that hold large amounts of ammunition.
They should instead turn to thoughts and prayers for protection like Americans do.

You're too emotionally fragile to know or want to know.
Too reasonable to work here in Murica
all that's lacking is political will
God bless him. Just think if he had had a gun. He could have taken them both out.
MOAR GUNS!
in an interesting twist, there's reported to be another hero, a middle eastern asylum seeker, who kicked the gun of the second shooter while he was holding it
https://www.gbnews.com/news/world/bo...-asylum-seekerA heroic asylum seeker stepped in to help confront one of the alleged Bondi Beach gunmen but was shot at by police and attacked by members of the public.
Footage captured at the scene of the massacre, which took place at a Jewish festival held at the Australian beach on Sunday evening, shows the man running towards one of the suspected attackers who lay injured on a bridge in an attempt to disarm him.
According to his lawyer, Alison Battisson, the unnamed man "kicked away the gun the shooter was still holding".
Police however continued to fire shots at the bridge, prompting the man to duck for cover as he can be heard shouting "don't shoot".
Members of the public then set upon the hero, appearing to mistake him for one of the attackers.
The man has been identified by his lawyer as a Middle Eastern refugee, who has lived in Australia for about 10 years but is on a temporary visa without a guaranteed path to permanent residency, the Daily Mail reports.
He is understood to have an Australian wife and children.
Human rights lawyer Ms Battisson said: This hero is a refugee without a permanent visa. Our client's name isn’t publicly available so we are using AB.
and of course, the Gurmans, who struggled with one of the shooters for several minutes before they were killed
https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/...16-p5no4d.htmlThe Russian-Jewish couple were walking along Campbell Parade on Sunday afternoon as Sajid Akram emerged from behind the Islamic State flag on his hatchback.
Dashcam footage from a passing motorist shows Boris, 69, did not hesitate as Akram opened his car door, tackling him onto the road of one of Sydney’s busiest beach boulevards, disarming the 50-year-old and forcing the rifle from his hands.
As others hid behind a bus stop, Boris picked up Akram’s rifle, aiming it at his assailant as other cars drove by, drivers seemingly unaware of the carnage that was about to unfold.
The footage shows Boris momentarily having the upper hand, threatening Akram with his own gun while his wife Sofia, 61, joins him in an attempt to force the gunman to retreat before his planned massacre could begin.
no shortage of brave bystanders, it seems
may their memories be a blessing
