The buyback comes as state governments prepare to tighten gun laws through national cabinet, expected to see gun licences issued only to Australian citizens as well as better background checks, limits on the timeframe licenses can be issued for and limits on the number of weapons individuals can own.

Like lambs to the slaughter. No resisting tyranny for our upside down friends.

Just keep giving up your only defense in this world. So sad. Its clearly a good time to be a "bad guy" in Australia.
whatever this is,
Australia showed it's true reptilian scales during covid and this is just more of that crap
and people concerned about invasions?
Australia has the fact that theyre an island nation on their side making it rather unlikely they would be a target for invasion in most wars that might occur. That, however, doesnt protect them from their own government becoming tyrannical, much like is happening in the UK currently.
.
This is the perfect time to invade
Who knew that Australians being allowed to own more than four guns was the only thing protecting them from being invaded.
Or what are they referring to as the real issue? I don't know what they're referring to...unless it's something horribly racist like everybody in the comments winking and nudging each other blaming that specific group of people that killed Jesus.
There's an established series of "real issues" they run through for a given shooting.
Was the shooter a racial minority? Then the "real issue" is that minorities are inherently violent.
Was the shooter on the left? Then the "real issue" is that the left is inherently violent.
Was the shooter trans? Then the "real issue" is that trans people are mentally ill.
Of course, none of these apply to Martin Bryant, so the "real issue" is mental health and maybe the vague "male loneliness epidemic".
To them, Port Arthur (and similar shootings in the US) is an isolated incident that was the result of mental illness and does not reflect a larger pattern about while males (except maybe that the world pushes them the wrong way), while Bondi is the result of a cancerous, malignant ideology held by all Muslims and is evidence that Islam has no place in western society.
I'm Australian but also banned in that sub. So much stupidity and no idea surrounding guns, laws, culture, politics and shootings in that country.
Like literally no idea. It's astounding how confidently wrong some Americans are about other countries. Blindly applying their America lense to it doesn't work.
Pretty sure everything I've read said the guns used in the attack were legally purchased. So I guess now we make it about Muslims and immigrants, ignoring the fact this shit happens hundreds of times a year in the US and almost never in Australia since they actually responded to gun violence in the 90s.
And they would justify the 'all' part with that stupid meme about venomous snakes mixed in with non-venomous snakes that they used a few years back on illegal immigrants.
That's pretty much the leftist mentality at this point. No policies, power at all costs, destroy eeryone with opposing views, and outrage at everything to make it look like we are doing something.
Moron-labeled homie just fully described the GOP platform for the last 50 years, but even more so under Trumpism without a second's thought.
That brain wouldn't even register the phrase "cognitive dissonance" because it sounds too "leftist", as if any of these morons would be able to recognize a leftist; Marx could rise from the grave to bitch slap all of them with a hardbound edition of all Das Kapital volumes -- including Surplus-Value -- and they'd still have no idea what a leftist looked like.

Wow, if this is an example of "no policies" from liberals, wait until they see the Republican response to mass shootings...
Hahaha, excellent point!
Defying the Bible to offer "thoughts and prayers" is a great policy!

Background: Australia launches a gun buy-back in response to the Bondi beach shooting. They'll also tighten their gun laws:

This person has an unhealthy relationship with firearms.
Most conservatives do.
"Once again"?
The last time was the 90s!
Gun control clearly doesn't work because they have a shooting every 30 years, clearly no gun control and a shooting every other week is much better.
It wasn't. The last big one was in the 90s.
"No policies" he says on a thread about an article with an actual policy.
What was the real issue with Martin Bryant?

I thought “Why not just deport the terrorists?” was somebody mocking Trump for pretending he can deport away terrorism.
Then I realized it just meant, “Why not deport brown people?”

Their favourite go to when the shooter is white. Mental illness.

As an American who’s lived in Canada for 15+ years, I’m afraid I’m not astounded. It’s standard operating procedure l.

So I guess now we make it about Muslims and immigrants, ignoring the fact this shit happens hundreds of times a year in the US and almost never in Australia since they actually responded to gun violence in the 90s.
so you’re telling me if the US had zero muslims, they’d have no problem giving up all their guns? sure thing.
Be like America and covet guns over children’s lives!!!
Of course by “just deporting terrorists”, which is not a real policy, they mean all muslims
