The "solution" to mass shootings is to get rid of the mass instead of the shooter???

Pretty on brand for one of the worlds most fervent 'nanny states'

I'm just surprised Australia hasn't baby-fied terrorism yet. 'Antisemie does a shootie, so no more protesties!'

I mean, getting rid of the racism seemed like the main take away but in no scenario does banning protests achieve this

It feels like this is just building pressure. Peaceful protests were giving people a means of expression. The vibes from the few that I have seen were pretty positive.

You clearly don't understand Anglophone culture; killing us a sacred act and blood sacrifice our highest ritual. Going after shooters would be like an Italian catholic trying to assassinate the pope!

So police have MORE power to be dickheads for the entire festive period. "Move on people I disagree with or I'll arrest you as a terrorist." Fucking brilliant work Minns. I'm sure all the terrorists will stop now that they aren't allowed to peacefully protest... (edit)

So police have the power to be dickheads...

They've always had that power, especially in NSW.

"You do not have the right to complain but we're putting a nice bow of an excuse on it so it looks better" -Aussie government right now

Not like anyone's going to be protesting over Christmas and New year's anyway.

People like minns hate the fact we can protest legally without being crushed by the police. He seems determined to change that and has been partially successful

Under no pretext should Australian workers have surrendered arms and ammunition and now, predictably, they've been denied their right to assembly as well

You think that we got & kept the right to assemble by owning arms and ammunition!?

No, I think you just lost the right to assemble by not owning arms and ammunition. You're going to lose more rights too. Political power flows from the barrel of a gun.

Most of the people in the US with guns support the fascists. Leftists are relatively scarce and Liberals typically hate guns.

Right, so what you're proposing has had entirely the opposite effect to what you claimed?

I'm proposing that political power flows from the barrel of a gun and provided pretty strong evidence that is true. What are you going on about?

Guns truly were the first technologies the ancient Egyptians invented.

i’m aware

but more lefties with guns than you think just less gunsexuals on the left

2

I think most Lefties who can own guns, do own guns. Lefties are just incredibly outnumbered by Liberals (and conservatives)
