Don't bust a gut laughing too hard! It could happen here, if we fail to take the threat seriously. At the moment complacency is our biggest enemy!!

Those on this site who have expressed a migratory interest in Australia should look at this article as a kind of wakeup call.

Australian government has slid so far to the left that they are probably one of the most socialist governments on the planet.

Of course they can find solace in their beer. Some are indeed crying in theirs.

What is being done to reverse these laws and give Australia a second ammendment. Surely there must be outrage to this. Is the entire country brainwashed, or is the government controlled by a mob?

"DON'T BE A MEMBER OF THE SILENT MAJORITY AND LET THE VOCAL MINORITY LET THIS HAPPEN IN THE U.S."

That bears repeating especially since only 5% of all gun owners belong to a pro-gun group. The rest of the gun owners are Freedom Freeloaders, a term created by the NRA.

Is there any data to back this up? Not that I don't think it's really happening but it would be a lot easier to "prove" that gun control only serves to create victims if we had hard numbers from sources other than Ed Chenel, a police officer in Australia.
