Let us not forget. Australia declared war. On birds. And. Lost.

Also Australia doesn’t have a constitution so there’s that too.

mass stonings would be impossible without rocks, mass stabbings impossible without any sharp objects too

imagine taking everyone's rocks and pointy things away

if you really wanted to kill someone you'd figure out a way. gasoline, gun powder, poisoning, running someone over, cutting break lines.

guns make it a bit easier, but most of those guns are unregistered and obtained illegally or taken from daddys gun safe

the problem is society and mental health, not the weapon of choice

You also had Draconian lockdowns for close to two years.

Maybe you shouldn't be bragging?

Bro where do you live for there to be shootings all the time?
Legit rarely is there anything about a shooting on the news. It would be prime time any chance to put bad light on the bikies and underworld.

We're long out of lockdowns, and anyone who didn't get vaccinated and held true are vindicated. Life wasn't that bad, it just meant you couldn't go to sports games or bars or socialise for a period of time. There's no end in sight to America's mental illness problem, though. The innocent will continue to fall victim to your plethora of mentally ill degenerates.
You couldn't even leave your homes, and if you did you would have to wear a mask outdoors. Not to mention you needed papers for travel.

So please, STFU boot-licking clown.

Gun laws will never change in this country until someone in a high position of power is directly effected by it like some politicians son or daughter, then there will suddenly be bipartisan support for stricter gun laws, 2A be damned. And if you dont think it will happen, remember they quickly molested the 1A by creating the Patriot Act after 9/11 and noone cared.
Sounds like it's something you can't wait to happen....

Only the All Mighty State should be armed......

Liar. Mass murders still occur at the same frequency. They just found other ways to do it.

They always ignore or deflect that part. Literally people getting arrested for going to the park. People getting put in complexes called "quarantine" surrounded by armed guards all because they might break covid curfews.

Growing up I would have never imagined Australia was full of so many poosies. Not sure if it's recent (last decade) or what but apparently they are fine with it since you never see them complaining in mass about it.

For better or worse all our guns is what prevents that kind of draconian crap from happening here.

Deadly mass shootings were pretty rare in America until about 2008, still relatively rare but the occurrences have ramped up significantly since then.

Australian PM himself said that type of thing wouldn't work in the U.S. because we have over 350 million guns, Australia had like under a million.

And it didn't even reduce violence:

Homicides were falling before the gun ban.
They were falling after the gun ban.
The rate of decline was identical before and after.
Even allowing for a generous lead/lag affect, no homicide decline can be attributed to the gun ban.
Homicide was the second LEAST AFFECTED by the gun ban, armed robbery fell, but unarmed robbery fell even faster, and rapes rose.

And there have been instances of mass killings after the gun ban in Australia, but nobody cares about them because (maybe?) guns weren't used I guess, because all you people care about is banning guns, not actually making things safer.
Would kick em in the nuts

Yeah it was pretty fked. I'm not excusing it. I'm just saying if you were a grounded, level-headed man who stuck to his word no matter what, it wasn't that bad.

You Americans get really upset at any outsiders looking in who criticise your decaying country. I don't even think guns are the problem, it's the mentally ill degenerates American culture breeds that is the problem.

You had to remain in your homes 23hrs a day, we're allowed to go outside 1 hr a day, and had to wear a mask outdoors, had military checkpoints, etc.

Aussie shootings/homicides were declining decades before bans went into effect. At the same time, America had a strong culture and not nearly as many shootings as we see today (inb4 columbine).

We define freedom a little differently over here too. Freedom is naturally dangerous, and if you feel secure because of your government I got some bad newz...

Didn't Australians receive some of the MOST STRICT repressions of human freedom and rights during the pandemic? You think that is a coincidence you guys lost your guns and then the entire society couldn't work without a jab or would be arrested for being 10m outside of their homes and only had 1 hour of freedom per day?

Stay cucked phggt. Australian is one of the biggest examples of dystopian CUCK society and I don't think any country wants to follow in your footsteps.

Lmao at thinking that Mexico is a good example when the entire country is knowingly ruled by criminals. Didn't realize there were so many liberals in Mexico. I guess places like Colombia and El Salvador are loaded with them too.

WRONG!
The GUN BAN CLEARLY SAVED TONS OF LIVES AND LOWERED THE MURDER RATE IN AUSTRALIA.
United States has the highest homicide rate: 7.8 per 100,000 population in 2020
The homicide rate in Australia in 2021 was 0.86 per 100,000

Came in here to post something similar. It's almost like the gun isn't the problem. Imagine bragging about how you "solved" gun violence but disregard the still-present violence. Imagine.
