Kamala Harris Condemns Lewiston Shootings, Praises Australian Gun Control
Breitbart ^ | 10/26/2023 | John Hayward

Posted on 10/26/2023 3:12:22 PM PDT by DFG

During a luncheon attended by Sec. of State Antony Blinken and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the shootings in Lewiston, Maine, and pointed to Australia’s gun control as the path to a better way.

WhiteHouse.gov published Harris’ comments, in which she said, “Gun violence has terrorized and traumatized so many of our communities in this country. And let us be clear, it does not have to be this way, as our friends in Australia have demonstrated.”

Harris did not mention that Australia “demonstrated” another way by requiring citizens to hand over approximately three-quarters of a million firearms during a mandatory buyback in the mid-1990s.

“Australia responded to its own gun violence problem with a solution that was both straightforward and severe: It collected roughly 650,000 privately held guns. It was one of the largest mandatory gun buyback programs in recent history,” Vox reported,

It is still possible to get a gun in Australia, but only after proving a “genuine reason” for gun ownership to authorities, according to the University of Sydney’s GunPolicy.org.

By the way, “personal protection is not a genuine reason” in Australia, yet VP Harris suggests Australia’s approach to gun policy represents a better way.

Isn’t Australia the place where people who refused the mandates were detained in specially constructed camps?

Hey Kami!!!

You might wanna ask the Israelies whether they'd like to have had an AR-15 when the Hamas Nazis showed up.

Kamala Harris type gun control is a rape enabler, as we have just seen.

American leaders should not criticize America to score points with their rabid base, or denigrate us to a foreign leader.

The Democrats used armored vehicles and killed children in Waco.

It was Hillary Clinton sending a message to gun owners.

“I can kill you.”

No gun control.

Never.

Not as long as there’s one Democrat politician.

I’m close by Lewiston with some old friends by my side. Not worried.

She can’t understand normal thinking.
