Mind you, this guy is an australian talking who has no rights to own a gun so he is at the absolute beckencall of his government.

Yeah, we are so scared. We actually have a working democracy.
And please, you people have all the guns, yet you still allow the government to do whatever it wants. I didn't see an armed uprising when the republicans were so terrified that a trans person might play a sport.
Or armed mobs overthrowing the government.
And do you honestly thing the proud boys and the gravy seals are a match for an army ?
Pointless posturing.
But hey, it's nice to not have active shooter drills in our schools.

be more retarded.
nobody has the right to murder.
nobody has the right to invade their neighboring country.
nobody takes australia serious on anything ...especially after people died in their covid concentration camps.

Um, we didn't have mass graves, you guys did.

Criminals still have guns and now there is no way for you to defend yourself against them. Only you can call the police who will be there in an hour while you are robbed, raped, and murdered. Notice how it is always criminals doing crime.

OK. How many "Good guys with guns" have stopped "bad guys with guns" in the USA?
If everyone can defend themselves, why are so many killed?
Why is gunshot wounds the #1 cause of death for children in America?
When ours is just injuries from our kids being kids,

I'm not convinced Luser23434 is a real member/person/human. I think it's a bot account that hacked a dormant account. We've seen it on this forum countless times.

At this point it's like arguing with a machine. But in this case you're training the bot how to argue.

I agree with the turtle riding redhead. What's with the new accounts with low post numbers going on and on in the political threads? Plants is what I suspect.
