In 1996, the government of Australia enacted a mandatory gun buyback and destruction program after a mass shooting at Port Arthur. The lockdowns and tyranny they face today could have been prevented had they all stood up and said: “No. You will not take away my ability to defend myself.” Instead, they blindly followed and accepted this unlawful order. It broke my heart to see so many guns wasted, knowing full well that the government was now able to do whatever it wanted without impunity or risk of retribution. Think about that when you see politicians erasing our beloved Constitution and burning our Bill of Rights. Make sure you have enough ammo to last you a while. When stored in a cool, dry place, ammunition should last for a long time. When the police arrive in minutes, a gun is ready in seconds. I can’t carry a cop on my back 24/7, so I conceal carry instead.

Aussie Army veteran here. There are plenty of guns in Australia. The leftist talking point that all the guns were taken away is just bs. If you want a rifle, shotgun or pistol you can get one. There is a process to get one, but you also have a process, from what I understand in the US you can't just walk in off the street and waltz out packing iron. We don't have semi-auto weapons though, so you that on us for sure.
This misguided belief that your 2A is saving you from tyranny is just that, misguided. I see the same bs being played over there that is being played here.
I wish that your 2A was stopping things and that Trump was back in putting a halt to the globalist jackboots coming down on our heads, but it hasn't so far. I have hopium that things will change, but it isn't your 2A that is going to make that happen.
They're living in a delusional "AMERICA FUCK YEAH" world where America has all da guns and Australia is a prison colony with no guns and no fight.
Americans have a natural propensity towards incredible hubris. That's why we have Biden in the white house and Jan 6ers rotting in prison.
Unfortunately we are a bit of a prison colony, especially with the Biosecurity Emergency that our Health Minister put in place. There are only very limited reasons why you can travel out of Australia at the moment and 2 out of 3 applications are rejected. Although our pollies will tell you it is just that we are an island sanctuary and they are keeping us safe.....
We are fighting, unfortunately the majority of people are so far in debt that they can't afford to not keep working, toeing the line and doing what they are told to. It is a sad state of affairs, but it is the same in most western countries. Debt slavery is real and the rest of the govt trough feeders will keep eating from the trough and doing what they are told.
The media won't let any of the truth about the rallies get out, they use the same old tricks of labelling anyone questioning the vax as a crazy antivaxer. Those of us holding out are just waiting for this to blow over. It will, but at what cost long term? Families, friendships, businesses, etc destroyed by the lying media and corrupt pollies. Suicides and medical issues, outside of the vax issues, are going through the roof.
God save us all.
