The Media in Australia "primed the pump" for the draconian gun laws.

After the Port Arthur rampage mass murder, they sprang the trap.

Now, Australians are trying to clean up the legal mess.

Folks occasionally piss and moan about the NRA, but without that organization, things would be even worse here than in Australia - despite the Second Amendment.

And gee, all because of the actions of someone (Martin Bryant) who should have been locked up in a mental hospital as soon as he reached adulthood as he constantly demonstrated that he simply could not be trusted to live his own life and handle his own affairs in that basic, proper manner we all take for granted.

At least have the courage to look through the media at the sponsors.

That comment wasn’t directed specifically towards you, by the way, but everyone.

Australian Media Frames Gun Law Reform as "Kick in the Face" to Survivors

Nice to hear that it isn't only our media that are incompetent, fake news, lying SOB's.

Like in the US, there are more privately-owned firearms in Australia today than in 1996, and less crime. The only result of Australia’s gun laws has been to restrict its citizens’ liberties

...Today, as the restrictions have been shown to be largely ineffective,...

Worth repeating

The American news media primed the pump for the 1968 GCL here. Anyone remember the hysterics they went into back when John Kennedy and later Bobby Kennedy were killed?

“Australia is an incredibly law abiding country. There is very little crime, and a very low homicide rate.”
Well I watched a documentary once about the aussies. Lots of shooting and killing. Those people are violent. I think it was called “Mad Max”.
