Australian gun owners are handing over their firearms in a “buyback” that commenced Monday, according to media reports.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced plans for a mass confiscation of firearms from law-abiding gun owners days after the December 2025 attack at Bondi Beach carried out by people associated with the radical Islamic terrorist group calling itself the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. New South Wales Premier Chris Minns claimed the effort would make the Australian state safer, according to 7 News.
“These laws will save lives,” Minns claimed as the state began the “buyback” after passing a law that imposed caps on how many firearms a person could own. To date, New South Wales, which is located on the southeastern coast of Australia and includes Sydney and Bondi Beach, is the only Australian state to pass the legislation championed by Albanese.
Albanese decried in a Dec. 19, 2025, release the fact that more guns were in private hands than at the time of the 1996 Port Arthur mass shooting as he announced his intention to enact new gun-control measures. In August, Albanese criticized other Australian states for not following New South Wales’ lead, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
“It’s not cheap, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars,” Minns said, noting he pushed through the legislation despite upcoming elections.
“We know we’re going to take a hit politically, but some things are more important than politics and this is one of them,” Minns said.
Police in Australia have created a new “Armed Response Command” consisting of officers equipped with assault rifles. Australia banned modern semiautomatic firearms following the 1996 Port Arthur shooting, conducting a massive “buyback” of hundreds of thousands of legally-owned guns.

Criminals throughout Australia are celebrating.
Homeowners will be easy pickings...
“China’s ability to strike Australia ‘will grow over next decade’”
Hey, the government is just trying to make it easier ... for China
American Democrat-instigated false flag incident impending....
and already ‘in the works’ planning stage.
Since they don’t have the 2nd Constitutional amendment to their constitution ... oh wait, they don’t so all the criminal elements there will keep theirs.
At least two states, as I understand it, have opted out of this scheme. I believe they are Queensland and Tasmania.
Notice the only state leader being quoted is from New South Wales, which agreed to go along with the scheme.
And they had not better find a way to protect themselves, otherwise they’ll be charged with something or other. Criminals have their rights too ya know.
There used to be a couple of Australian posters here who kept telling how ignorant we are and how it really isn’t as bad as we think it is ...
“American Democrat-instigated false flag incident impending....”
and then those of us here who call it a false flag get to be called “kooks” and “conspiracy theorists” by most Freepers.
Been there, done that...
Duping Americans is child’s play.
First stage to totalitarian rule: disarm the populace to prevent armed uprising against the shackles imposed by government. As old as time.
“These laws will save lives,” Minns claimed “It’s not cheap, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars,” Minns said,
“”and then those of us here who call it a false flag get to be called “kooks” and “conspiracy theorists” by most Freepers.””
***
And then... there are those of us here... who don’t give a flaming f’arooney ‘what’ the idiot left calls us.
Fools. Islamists attack, Christians surrender. Their government cannot protect them.
