Austrailia's "Gold Standard" of gun control laws is a failure. Go Figure!

Funny thing is criminals NEVER obey any laws to begin with, but liberals want to ban or disallow law abiding citizens the right to protect themselves from the criminal element.

When your life is on the line with seconds to spare, call the cops that are always minutes to hours away.

That's the liberal mantra, meanwhile they have hired security and live in gated communities.

And when they show up (like in this case in Aus), they don't even have weapons!

Wasn’t it twenty or so years ago and they had a horrific mass shooting and in response they banned all guns?

Now that they have a horrific Muslim terrorist event will they ban all Muslims?

Something tells me, no.

If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns.

The left uses tragedy” rules for radicals “ to enact their anti-freedom, Socialism agenda. Create a problem then look like you are fixing it by stripping people of more rights, or increased taxes. It’s the same playbook over and over, and the weak keep falling for it; the ole security for freedom paradox where you end up with neither. If they ever infringe on the second Amendment, that’s endgame, just remember that…

100% . It’s far and away the most important right we have because without it all the others become merely temporary privileges.

Locks and laws just keep honest people honest. Been that way for a thousand years. Why liberals think differently is part of their insanity.

This is exactly true, but to a leftist it sounds like a tautology with no actual substance.

They think, “Well of course, by definition, as soon as you outlaw guns, then those who have guns will be defacto outlaws!” But that’s not what we’re saying.

In their Rousseauian worldview, the poor and “marginalized” were pushed to the point of their crimes by a cruel and oppressive system. You can’t blame them for being outlaws, and the guns they use is excusable because they oppose the oppressive system.

Those who benefit from the system, the “normies”, the law abiding successful people, who own guns because they can afford them, have guns to maintain the oppressive system.

So in their view, outlawing guns will turn normies into outlaws, which is what they always were anyway, the oppressors, the hitlers, etc.

What the right actually means is that if you outlaw guns:

- the outlaws will be emboldened to use guns against the unarmed populace.

- the outlaws will turn to gun ownership because they already don’t care about following the law and now it will be even more beneficial for their crimes because the victims are softer..

Im not for banning guns but austrailia literally has less than a tenth of our gun deaths per capita.

You can argue that you don't want to give up our rights but it's just a simple fact that all Americans would be safer if we banned guns.

Worked for Hitler and Nazi Germany didn't it. Those who don't learn from history are the very ones that repeat it.

Logistically impossible.

Aside from logistics, places that have banned guns have also banned other forms of self protection such as pepper spray or blades.

How? How are you going to prevent criminals from obtaining all those guns circulating in Mexico, America and the black market?
You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.

I've said it here a million times and I'll say it a million more if necessary.

The Second Amendment is the hill upon which to die. Without it, all your other inherent rights and liberties are utterly forfeit, and you're left unable to contest it.

Hmm, I thought they pretty much banned all guns.
