First, they don’t have a constitution like ours, and 2nd amendment specifically states shall to be infringed.

Australia is a socialistic country, America is a Republic.

No doubt. MSM will see to it even if the data doesn’t show it.

these people can’t “see” it yet.
a confiscation puts them in the exact same position they were in on 02/14/2018 - unarmed, unprotected against a bad guy.

Once Australian men ( cough ) handed over their Guns and their ball, they have 100% third wave feminist garbage rammed down their throats.

Name the gun law we don’t have among the thousands we do have that would prevent shootings. In the meantime, liberals have no problem with murdering our children in the womb.

Australia does’t have South America feeding criminals over their border like the USA does.

Actually, I think it says, "Shall NOT be infringed..."

The incidents of home invasions skyrocketed. And - if the homeowner defends the home and somehow injures the invader, it’s the home owner that is charged. Go check it out.

Same authoritarian australian government believed it best to take aborigine children from their parents. That lasted until just a few decades ago.

I had to shake my head concerning the “school shootings in Australia” comment. It (Port Arthur in 1996) was not a school shooting, but a mass public one and that there had been only one or a couple of such incidents of that sort beforehand. The Port Arthur shooting was perpetrated by an individual long known to his family and others as barely mentally competent and functional and certainly should not have been given a licence to legally buy firearms as he was in Tasmania.

Firearms prohibitionists also will not bother telling you that nearby New Zealand did not enact similar very strict regulations and did not suffer any mass public shootings during the same time frame (none since a February 1997 in which six were murdered with a shotgun).

Australia did not have any rampage school shootings before they instituted their extreme restrictions on gun ownership and use.

They have not had any rampage school shootings after they instituted their extreme restrictions on gun ownership and use.

This is propaganda fed by those who want to disarm the population.
