'We Gave Up Our Guns And It Turned Out Fine For Us,' Says Australian Man Who Couldn't Leave His House For Two Years

SYDNEY—As opinions on gun control have filled the news following violent shootings caused by guns and nothing else, the non-authoritarian democracy of Australia has shone like a beacon of hope for proponents of strict gun control.

"We gave up our guns and it turned out fine for us," said one Australian man who couldn't leave his house for two years. "I mean, look how safe we are under the protection of the kind government."

"The government would never shoot up a school," said an Aussie grandmother who was beaten by a horde of policemen and women for venturing outside of her home to feed her starving pet kangaroo.

In case you're wondering about Aussie gun control and whatever happened to Crocodile Dundee, keep this in mind:
[M]ost Australians (71%) live in major cities, one in 10 live in small towns with populations of less than 10,000 people.Source

The war on guns in the U.S. is also part of the war on folks who don't live in cities.

This is indeed a most kindly despotism. Maybe the right folks are running it after all.

Yeah, right. God save the Queen.

You will have nothing and be happy.

Bugs are nutritious for you.

Those evil guns have a particularly nasty habit of coming to life and shooting innocent people.

Australia and Canada are both much more urban than the U.S. They have low population densities and so are perceived as bucolic because there is a load of land that is judged by most people to be uninhabitable.

More than a third of Canadians live in the Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver meteropolitan areas as defined by the Canadian census bureau—and that isn’t even including two more of the top ten areas, which most people outside of Southern Ontario would see as part of the Toronto metropolitan area (Hamilton and K-W) if they have even heard of the places. Close to two-thirds live in the ten largest (or 8 if you lump the two in with Toronto). Arguably well over two-thirds because many of the places not in the top 10 are within an hour’s drive of a place that is, which, by my books, makes a thing very likely at least partially a bedroom community.

The solid majority of Canadian land isn’t within an hours flight of one of these places.

Yes it is.

Globalists don’t want you to live in suburbs; They want you packed into megacities.
They don’t want you to have cars; They want you to take the bus or the train.
They don’t want you to have firearms; They want you unarmed and harmless.
They don’t want you to have nuclear families; They want you rudderless as livestock.
They don’t want you to eat burgers; They want you to eat soy and crickets.

Everything that’s happening in America right now is to promote these goals.

It fails every time it’s tried, even in laboratory conditions.

In the late 70’s when I lived in Australia , it was the most urbanized country in the world. Something like 87% lived in the 7 major cities. Jobs outside of the city paid great since there was such a labor shortage n the outback.

The Ozzies still have the Queen’s picture on their money, so (as this shows) they were never really citizens, just subjects.

Found these comments:

Why gun control?
Because armed people will
NOT willingly load themselves
into railroad boxcars.

+-—————————————————

“The fact that armed police did not
go in to protect unarmed civilians,
kids...

... Sort of takes away the
argument that civilians don’t need
arms because the police will
protect them.”
