during a speech on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris praised Australia’s strict gun control laws, which include a ban on automatic and semi-automatic firearms and a mandatory buyback program that removed nearly 700,000 privately-owned firearms from circulation in the 1990s.
“In our country today, the leading cause of death of American children is gun violence. Gun violence has terrorized and traumatized so many of our communities in the United States,” Harris said. “And let us be clear, it does not have to be this way – as our friends in Australia have demonstrated.”
Unlike in the U.S., Australian citizens do not have a legal right to gun ownership. Gun owners must have a license, and each firearm must be individually registered. Self-defense is not considered a valid reason to own a gun.

if inept harris is in charge of getting something done on gun control

“Self-defense is not considered a valid reason to own a gun.”
The primary reason for owning a gun is self defense. This stupid statement is a good example how the left reverses reality and live in fantasy land.
I’m not sure if this is still true but
guns were as readily available and less expensive after the ban.
Anyone pushing this crud in light of hamas and our own historic lawlessness is more brain dead than the avg brain dead leftist idiot.
She’s not stupid, she’s evil.
Democrats are ALL evil, only a few are also stupid. Fetterman and Biden, for example ...
Millions??? Ya really think so?
My town of 65,000 (96% white) has had zero murders this year. NONE.
Willie’s ho wants to take away our rights. How do you feel about that? They already took our Freedom of Speech and I had to adopt my own Right to Articulate My Opinion as an alternative to the Freedom of Speech.
Projectile vomiting.
Was it Utopia?…
This commie bish should move to N. Korea where I’m sure she would be happy being told what do in every aspect of her life. She might even get to eat more than once a day unlike most North Koreans.
When we potentially face the same threat from a wide open southern border as the (unarmed) Israelis, I don’t see people peacefully giving up their means of defending themselves, family & property.
The Nazi (illegitimate) VP said what?
If the police are coming for your guns, their shirts, no matter what color they appear on the outside, are Brown.
..and War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Education is Ignorance. This is not That...
Defund the police...
but disarm the populace.
You can always tell the autocrats by the slimy ideas they pontificate. This is one of them. NO!(The timing is so suspect...)
Courts have repeatedly struck down gun bans, like “assault weapons”. That was just done out thisaway in CaCaLand.
All conversations about such guns are absolutely nothing more than virtue signaling — telling the NPC’s that these guns are bad and “I will save you from such evil.”
When faced with a supporter ask: “In which jurisdiction has such a ban survived at least two levels of court action?” It is important to stress at least 2, ‘cause single judges are owned all over the place. And, the guys above such turds don’t want him/her in their chambers.
Oh, the answer is zero. They all die as they climb the ladder.
No, she’s stupid. Flunked the DC Bar exam so she is no great legal mind to begin with.
Certainly with blacks and the criminals, both of which comprise a solid foundation of the DEM party.
