Hmmmmm…if they banned and confiscated guns…what are their gang members using in their gang shootings?
Detectives investigating the shooting said a dozen targeted killings in the past two years had created a power vacuum within some of Sydney's major criminal groups.
This, they said, had resulted in former partners in crime turning on one another in an increasingly violent battle for supremacy.
"Obviously, with all these shootings and people are being killed, there's opportunities for people to try to take their place," homicide squad commander Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty said.

And this?
A turf war…..with guns….on a big island where they banned and confiscated guns?
What can you do? It’s everyday life now,” a neighbour who heard the shots told a local TV station.
Many of these killings are attributed to a highly-publicised turf war between two crime gangs – the Alameddine Family and the Hamzy clan.
The war has intensified in recent months after the Alameddines joined forces with the Comancheros, Australia’s biggest outlaw motorcycle gang, to wrest control of Sydney’s lucrative drug trade by eliminating the competition.
The partnership is already bearing fruit for the criminals. Among the most recent fatalities are Mejid Hamzy, a brother of Brothers 4 Life kingpin Bassam Hamzy, teenager Salim Hamzy and his father Toufik, who were gunned down in their driveway.
