First they take away your guns, then they lock you in your homes, and now they're coming for your Foster's Lager? What the hell is going on in your country?
 
Check your Austrailian history. Citizens there voted FOR gun control laws back in 1996.
 
What you see now are the after effects.
 
 
What do they say? You can vote your way into Socialism. You'll have to fight your way out.

It is true that the gun control laws introduced in 1996 enjoyed a high level of support from the Australian community - and still do - but we didn't actually vote for them.

They came about because of the Port Arthur Massacre which came six weeks after the general election of 1996. Until then, there was no intention of the government doing anything to change the laws, at least not in the short term.
