Perhaps the Aussies should read Churchhill’s opinion on the religion of hate, rape, misogyny, lying, murder, and inability to move from a sixth century philosophy.

“”Their solution is always more government and less liberty. Why is anyone surprised when the government allows virtually unrestricted immigration of members of a death cult.””

Gee.... it’s almost like... it’s an intentional pattern by leftist government goons.

Import hoards of non-white, anti-Western civilization savages. Crack down on anyone speaking out against it. Demonize white citizens in favor of the non-white hoards committing crimes. Rinse, repeat, until all are under one jackboot and until all are ‘equally’ controlled and miserable. It’s the patented commie way.

“Diversity is our Mass Suicide”

We need to import more foreigners whose religious duty is to kill us.

Why? The guns didn’t kill anybody. The damn muslim terrorists did. Americans didn’t blame ovens for what the bastard future Nazi democrats used them for during WWII. Guns aren’t the problem BONEHEADS!!! Try hating the muzzies as much as you do guns. It will bring the world a long way from Terrorist murders. Geez. Ovens weren’t the reason for the WWII HOLOCAUST you idiots!!!

Easy excuse. Reminds me of the 1990’s WWE video game where they tell people to use one character because you can use the same move to win every match.

Now this from The Free Press, part of Australia’s 10 News (the network was acquired by CBS in 2017, and The Free Press is also part of Paramount Global as Bari Weiss runs Paramount’s news operations worldwide)

They enact strict anti-gun laws.

There’s a mass shooting.

They think they need more strict anti-gun laws.

I think an RCA would conclude liberal politicians who have sold out to international interests are the root cause.

Back in 1976, Nelson “Pete” Shields, founder of Handgun Control Inc, now the Brady center told how to ban handguns, one little step at a time. In 1984, they went after rifles.

I keep such things since the first call to register handguns in 1962.

From 1976.

Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.

Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.

So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.

My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”

-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58

“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”

-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview

HCI, around 1984, suddenly made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed But they showed their hand. As a result all gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.

*******
And HERE IS how they will do it, one small step at a time.

And to think, in 1962 Thomas J Dodd and Emauell Cellar proposed the first federal law on common firearms.

1962; “We don’t want to take away your guns, we ONLY want to register handguns! Rifles and shotguns will not be affected”.

1964: “We only want to register all your guns, not ban them! Only Army surplus guns will be banned.”

1968: “We only want to register your guns, and ban “Saturday Night Specials” and small foreign handguns along with army surplus rifles!” (They got the ban on 5 shot army surplus rifles and handguns and small foreign pistols)

1970: “We only want to ban Saturday night specials! Large handguns and rifles will not be affected!”

1976: “We only want to ban all handguns! Long guns will not be affected!”

1981: “The NRA is a rifle organization! They should give up their handguns, and they can keep their rifles!”- Lee Grant on GMA

1984: “We must ban “assault Rifles, unsuitable or hunting!”

1989: George Bush bans import of some foreign made “assault rifles”.

1992: Ten year Assault rifle ban passed by Clinton.

2000: first calls to ban single shot .50 cal rifles...

2012 calls for MORE bans on semi auto rifles and handguns. If you can’t ban them then go after ammo limits, the magazines and styles of the stocks.

And so it continues.

If guns are banned, they use knives (which England is trying to ban)...

“In the realm of UK knife laws, there exists a list of prohibited blades. This is the main and fairly extensive list of knives you’re just full on not allowed to have, either at home, or in public.”

...They’ll use trucks.

Shooting went on for 10 minutes, and then 10 more minutes after the cops arrived, one shooter was thanksfully tackled by a real hero.

What would have been the outcome if this had been a beach in Texas?

As usual, a knee-jerk reaction from a politician that misses the root of the problem by 100%.

They could also use sandwiches like that guy in Washington who threw a sandwich at a federal agent:

“Sean Dunn, a 37-year-old former Department of Justice employee, was charged with misdemeanor assault after throwing a sandwich at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer Gregory Lairmore in Washington, D.C., on August 10, 2025...with Dunn shouting at officers, calling them ‘fascists’ and ‘racists’ before hurling the sandwich.

A grand jury declined to indict, leading to a lesser misdemeanor charge.”

In the video I watched, it was clear. The second long gun he accessed was more difficult. It was not clear if it was a shotgun with extended magazine or if it had a bipod under the barrel, parallel to it. My guess is it was another shotgun, because it had a red dot sight.
