Australian gun owners are terrorists

[Flyjunky]

Last week there was a terrorist attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney.
2 Muslim men, father and son opened fire on a crowd gathered to celebrate an event of Jewish significance.

They used straight pull shotguns (think semi auto style action but you have to cycle it manually between shots) and a straight pull rifle. Similar to a Blaser R8 action.

They killed 14 people and injured 40. The father was shot dead by police and the son was shot and is under police guard in hospital.

Since covid Australia has had almost unchecked migration. Literally hundreds of thousands of people. 730 000 alone in 2021 according to a quick google search. Few years of this is a big deal in a country of 25 million people.

So after this religiously motivated terror attack what do you think our government is doing?
Yep, rushing in laws to limit how many firearms a person can have and a suite of other possible restrictions and conditions on obtaining and holding a gun licence.

Word on the street is a limit of 4 guns. 4, four, quattro!
Even possibly not allowing you to have a licence for the reason of recreational hunting. That would effectively ban hunting with guns and remove your reason to own guns if you were not into target club shooting.

The shooters were licenced gun owners with registered guns. Now wait for it.......
They were on a watch list for having flown to the Philippines to attend ISIS training.

They were known terrorist affiliates yet nothing was done by any authority.
The laws we already have, if applied would have prevented this attack.

Yet here we are, gun owners being made scapegoats to cover gross government negligence of multiple departments.

Gun owners are essentially being told that we are terrorists.

Terrorists conduct a religiously motivated attack on innocent people.

Govt- "Take all the guns and ban hunting"

Australia just crossed the Rubicon.

Just like Canada, Australia crossed the rubicon a long time ago.

Thread full of hyperbole and brash generalizations based on the poor actions of a few while complaining that the government does the same thing.

Australia just crossed the Rubicon.

I think it was crossed in 1996.

It’s very clear to most rational people with a shred of common sense what the issue is. And it ain’t guns…

 

[Billy Goat]

I don't see this going well.

Its a terrible thing what happened, and also inspiring the actions bystander took.


Keep stuff inline so the thread can stay open for civil discussion.

Canada is in the same immigration path…

So is the USA, just wait until the pendulum swings back left and the needy president opens the flood gates.

In reality, Trump has made a temporary patch to the leak…..at best.

what is happening or happened in australia, canada and other western countries related to gun laws or confiscation is coming to you. not as fast as what we got but make no mistakes you are already there look up the gun laws related to some firearms or magazine capacity in california, oregon, washington, dc, new york, vermont or massachusetts ...and i certainly forget some states.

for the immigrations it is more complex: as our countries are not attracting the immigrants you want or desire and in the same token some industries are profiting of the illegal workers ,,,....

The laws enacted in the states listed above are illegal as those kinds of laws have never passed the litmus test with higher federal courts.

In order for firearm ownership in the USA to go by the wayside, the US Constitution would need to be rewritten. That won't happen unless there is a complete overthrow of the sitting government in place.

Import thousands of people that hate our way of life and punish law abiding citizens with stricter gun laws. Say anything about it and you are xenophobic or Islamophobic. We are witnessing the decline of western civilization and self loathing progressive politicians and those that vote for them have caused it

Somebody keeps deleting comments along these lines - without saying anything to anyone. Just disappearing them.

explain that to the gun owners of those states ...

 

[Blowdowner]

We would if we weren't a minority and had a 2A.
Gun ownership isn't common here. People freak out when you tell them you have more than 4 guns. They say no one needs that many guns. There was talk that if you leave in a city you should have even less guns because you don't need them like rural people do. Quite communist really. "I'll tell you what you need."

The problems not that you can't have more than four guns. The problem is all the people that have zero and all the criminals that have one illegally.

I used to stress over new gun laws, magazine restrictions, bans. I honestly could care less anymore. I'm not doing any of it. I'll never turn in a gun or magazine or even modify one to appease some new arbitrary law. I'm willing to go to jail. Realistically, guns are quickly becoming obsolete at this point anyway. With advancements in drone technology, we might as well be throwing rocks.

Probably because it's closer to the truth than singling out any particular group of immigrants. The thought is also quite unAmerican. Our Constitution protects all religions and races.

 

[roadrunner]

They already know it...

 

[Rotnguns]

I hear and agree.

The election of governor Mulldomni? from New York - really was enlightening. Enough citizens, read neighbors/peers voted for a declared socialist/Marxist. In the future many will be pissed about the policies he implements and bitch about HIM as in the government official.

When it should be directed towards those citizens who quietly are voting for these types of people around the world.

Australia was on my list of a fascinating place to visit, but if the majority of country is of this belief, It changes my interest level. Already have it here…

Zohran Mamdani, a socialist, was elected mayor of New York City. But I get the points you made.

The thing that breaks my heart is seeing all those irreplaceable pieces of history just destroyed

Virtually every celebrated (by the MSM) shooting in America we find out
the shooter was "known to authorities"

One's conclusion as to who or what is the real threat is quite obvious.

 

[dingo007]

How do these people keep getting elected!

Certainly US has been trending this way but enough citizens opposing keeps it manageable for the time being.

Australia, must have a lot of citizens that support this position…. Otherwise why is he still in office, rhetorically.

Um, hate to spoil your dreams, voting is for well indoctrinated sheep.

You can't vote for anyone! Pre-approved before becoming part of the club then you need seats in the house of representatives not a senate. They know who gonna win before the sheep herd together.

That's from a Ex government slave, I was well indoctrinated as a kid, I woke up fast in disbelief the damage they caused to my family, friends and fellow countrymen and our lands and waters and so much more...

The real terrorist are our organized international political crime gangs

How is this thread still open? Guy just called me a sheep…mumble, mumble….
