My next question is in regard to the amount of weapons available in broader society. I am talking in the region of 150,000 illegal weapons. We also have a debate within this committee, and in broader society, about the amount of legally held firearms. Would the Commissioner have any concerns about the huge amount of weapons, legal and illegal, held in society at large? Would she have any concerns about massacres which take place in schools or shopping centres or at social events because of easy access to firearms. Would she have concerns about that and the easy availability of firearms?
