When you think of places like Australia, you think they’re just like us – they speak English and love freedom. Well, they do speak English, that much is true, but do they really love freedom like we do? Considering Democrats have control of government, it makes me wonder if we really love freedom all that much.
Putting that aside, the way governments all across Australia are conducting themselves during this pandemic should make everyone realize that the similarities may well just end at language. More importantly to us, what is happening in Australia is what Democrats would love to do here, so it’s important to keep an eye on.
Considering they gave up all their guns without a fight, it seems they love being ruled more than freedom.

A look at 1930's Germany, and our possible future. I mourn for the Aussies who were once a free people.
NEVER give up your guns. In fact, buy more.

# 1 hits the nail on the head. The only thing keeping us from ending up like Australia or any communist country are the guns. Millions have them. And like Hitler knew not to try to take Switzerland because every citizen there had a gun, so far our guns have kept us mostly safe. I sure hope it never comes to a big fight, tho.

>>> Nearly all Aussies are white. Very friendly. And their politicians look entirely normal from a corporatist standpoint.

I used to think I wanted to visit Australia. I even have had an Australian "pen pal" on the web, and via mail for a few years. But the more I learned, the less interested I was in going.
Once again. The Australians did NOT 'give up all their guns'. This is a media fiction. They gave up semi-auto rifles and shotguns. Lever action and bolt action rifles, and single and double barrel shotguns are still legal to own. Handguns have always been difficult, requiring membership in a shooting club and proof of handgun competition. No guns can be carried for self defense, ever.
All guns are registered, very different than here. But they didn't "give up all their guns" as is the often repeated misinformation says.

#7, Clearly, they gave up enough of their guns. What they didn’t understand is when you give up any means of resistance against an oppressive government, you surrender your freedom. Tyranny then is assured. Even if it is couched in the narrative of it’s for your own good. Cling to the Second Amendment. It really is all that stands between a citizen and a lawless government.

I understand in Australia now you can be arrested for lifting your mask to take a drink. Their summer season is coming up and it can get brutally hot there. I wonder if that may be the straw that breaks the camel's back? I work with some people who, if allowed. would shut all of us up tighter than solitary confinement. They are totalitarians at heart.

I will never look at or speak to Australia again. It is dead to me.

Well glory be, #7. The man says its OK to still own single-shots and levers. How magnanimous of the government to tell 'free' men what they can own.
We can parse the meaning of 'all' forever. The point is that they gave up without a fight. But for the sake of argument, I will say 'most'. This time.

I live right smack dab in the middle of the Sydney suburbs? Yesterday I went over to a friends house about 8 kms away and took his dog to the vet for him (he’s 86). The vet’s office was about 10 kms away. Then I went to the local shopping centre and picked up something that I had ordered, I then went to 2 supermarkets and did my shopping. I then went home and in the afternoon I drove my sister to an in person doctor’s appointment about 15 kms away. I wore a mask whenever I went inside but nobody stopped me or asked where I was going, in fact I didn’t see one police or military person the whole day. So the moral of the story is “don’t believe everything you read”.

Total control over everything - life, death, the food you eat, the jobs you work, and an allowance they will give you to spend. Cradle to post grave control is a Democrat's wet dream.

RE #11. I TOTALLY agree with your sentiment about the oppressive government, but words have meaning and we need to stick to the facts.
Unfortunately, I think it doesn't make any difference in Australia whether they have some guns or not, there are very, very few folks there who have any will to do anything but go along to the shearing like the sheep that they used to grow so many of. More a matter of will than tools, I think.
And understand that they don't even really grasp the concept of armed self defense as any sort of a legal right, because it isn't and they go along with that. It has not been a right there for a very long time, and they just don't even grasp it. I discussed the concept of self defense with a hunter and shooter in NZ a few years back and he was clearly appalled at the concept of going around armed and being read and able to defend against a violent attack. His view was that you just call the police, it's their job and you have no right or business imagining that you can or should defend yourself. NZ and Australia are much alike in that, it seems.
Crocodile Dundee was a fiction. The real man who it was roughly fashioned after tried to keep to himself and live free in the outback and not buckle under to the authorities, but eventually was shot down by 'the authorities'. Nobody there seemed to be too bothered by that. He was "a troublemaker", seemed to be the general view. Didn't follow all the laws.
