    This is all kinds of horrible. How did he even have a gun?

    While he certainly intended to commit violence against a woman, there’s a little nuance in this example. I don’t believe in this example that he’d have walked away and not shot the people in the house had it been a father and son.

      So how do you get a gun in Perth?

        I don’t know in truth. From friends I know who shoot, they need to keep their hand guns at the range. They can’t take them home. Farmers can have rifles, but I’m having a hard time picturing a rifle being the weapon in this story.

    Tragic. Has violence against women been increasing or are we just reporting on the trend more?
