Expert: Anti-Terror Fight Needs Data, Not Just Gun Laws

A counter-terrorism expert has criticized Australia's push for stricter firearm controls as a "superficial" solution to terrorism. In an interview with FRANCE 24, Yann Saint Pierre argued such laws do not address the core problem. He is the CEO of the Modern Security Consulting Group. He stated that more effective tools are pre-emptive work and the monitoring of data and public behavior. This approach, he said, allows authorities to identify threats before attacks occur. Saint Pierre emphasized proactive prevention and surveillance as key strategies. He believes they are far more useful than reactive measures like tightening gun regulations.
