| POLICE are powerless to stop gun crime while weapons exist on Sydney's streets, the Police Commissioner, Andrew Scipione, has admitted, but he will consider lobbying for a gun amnesty if his officers request it.
In an interview with The Sun-Herald, Mr Scipione compared gun crimes to car crashes, saying they were impossible to stop. But he said police were heavily focused on fighting the spike in shootings in Sydney's south-west.
''There is no way I would suggest that we can stop gun crime, that is nonsense,'' he said. ''Whenever you have guns in the community you have the potential for gun crime. That's a reality.''
He said Operation Spartan, launched last month to combat a rise in shootings, was helping to prevent further gun crimes.''We're going to continue going after these thugs,'' he said.
