Then perhaps you should look at the Hitler, Stalin, and Mao regimes where the guns were confiscated, and then the abuse of power came. Sure, you can claim there's a check with the courts, but what happens when that's no longer under your control? You have nothing left. It's only a matter of time before the same happens in Australia.
I see you think there's a bunch of wild west shootouts going on. Weapons are only not used on either side because it's a sort of stalemate case. Both sides are waiting for the other to fire first. Nobody sane wants that impotence on them. And neither side wants to give them up because they know they lose whatever defensive measures they have, whether citizenry or government, specifically because there's no guarantee to trust the other side. And yet, for the longest time before all this fear-mongering started at the end of WWII, we all seemed to live peacefully and happily.
Sooo.....given that most of the German people supported Hitler, and his military ran roughshod over all of continental Europe, you think that a few armed German citizens in opposition to him would have prevented WW2?
Okaaaayyyy then.![]()
Great fear mongering. Pretty typical of you and your buddies.
Reasonable people are not demanding that you turn all of your guns in. Reasonable people are asking for reasonable restrictions and responsibility for gun owners, just like the reasonable restrictions on every other amendment (including the First).
Again, you dream that you having weapons has some kind of influence, other than the police finding reasons to better arm themselves with tactical weapons, that they don't really need.
Guns are the solution to nothing. Nothing at all.
The real fear mongering of guns is coming from the sheep that follow the NRA and gun industry. Like you. Fear of any "political"-ism that you can come up with. One does not have to "fear monger" when you see how many people die- that's reality.
BTW, if nothing happens in Australia in 5 years, what next? It will take longer, or are you and your buddies wrong? Personally, I don't see anything happening.
I’m not the one on here complaining about the government.

You've never heard of the phrase "nip it in the bud", have you?
That will get challenged and get reversed but jesus that is an awful law. The sad thing is we know who the coal miners will blame...

Yep. I can start my own religion tomorrow if I want, but I can't commit human sacrifice, or marry a bunch of underage wives as part of the doctrine, because those activities have not been deemed Constitutionally-protected, and are illegal in every state.
We already have gun laws on the books that have been upheld by the courts. The Second Amendment is not unlimited.
