Do You Come from a Land Down Under?

When we compare these broader estimates, Australia’s rape and sexual assault rate is roughly three times higher than that of the United States. Australia’s assault rate is about twice as high, and its burglary rate is about 2.5 times higher. [More]

The factor in that 52% of U.S. counties where Americans can be armed to the teeth are as peaceable — or more so — than countries where government enforce a monopoly of violence.

That’s Gratitude for Ya

The crowd greeted Albanese and Tony Burke, the home affairs minister, by calling them “genocide supporters” and “putrid dog.” They even chant “Allahu Akbar.” [More]

So this is what happens when useful idiots are no longer needed…?

Albanese… Albanese… isn’t he the fella who wants all his countrymen’s guns?

Gun-Grabbers Demand More Defenselessness After Brown University and Australian Shootings

Efforts in USA and Australia to disarm potential victims continue after decades of failure [More]

Gun prohibitionists here, there, and everywhere don’t care how many people get killed by their monomaniacal demands for a forcibly disarmed populace.

And his victims are paying for it.

Hey, gotta protect him from honest opinions:

See why they need citizen disarmament?

Do You Come from a Land Down Under

Albanese announces gun buyback scheme as NSW moves on gun limits, protest bans – Anthony Albanese said he expects “hundreds of thousands” of guns to be collected and destroyed through the scheme. [More]

That makes him a schemer.

Hey, I figured out who Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett reminds me of.

We’re the Only Ones Down Under Enough

Bondi Beach hero helped disarm terrorist before police mistakenly shot him: report [More]

While he had his hands raised and was shouting “Don’t shoot!”

At least they finally got around to shooting somebody…

And Carlos Hathcock, hold our Fosters:

Heroic detective killed Bondi Beach terror suspect with ‘once-in-a-lifetime shot’ from over 100 feet away

Meanwhile, the PM decries “right wing extremists” and demands more citizen disarmament.

And Right on Cue

The National Firearms Agreement established after the Port Arthur massacre will be renegotiated and NSW parliament may be recalled before Christmas to pass urgent legislation after a father and son allegedly slaughtered 15 people with legally registered firearms. [More]

So… give the grabbers everything they demand (at the time) and then they come back to demand more…?

And I like how they called it an “Agreement.”

Australia Police Seize Guns from Dozens of Owners Over Personal “Sovereign Citizen” Statements [More]

True, they don’t have a First or a Second Amendment, but contrary to popular opinion, Australians have a right to free speech and a right to keep and bear arms. Everyone does.

What most don’t have is the will to keep violence monopolists from denying them.

Pushing Back

The gun lobby claims it is “winning” the fight against Australia’s longstanding crackdown on firearms, pointing to a sharp increase in licensed gun owners and weapons since laws were introduced in the aftermath of the 1996 Port Arthur massacre as a sign of its strength. [More]

I wish them luck.

They gotta work on that “licensing” thing.

Do You Come From a Land Down Under?

“I recognize and I fully said from the beginning, we don’t have the same freedom of speech laws that they have in the United States, and the reason for that is that we want to hold together a multicultural community and have people live in peace,” said Minns. [More]

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. And free speech is racist.

And now they’re weapon wanding.

It’s despicable, how the heirs of people who tamed a continent have degenerated.
