american massacres caused more australians to want restrictions and the buy back than the one in tasmania. even that one is heavily evidenced to have been comitted by the american CIA to guage a way to introduce restrictions in america.

before port arthur , we virtually had no gun laws, as a fascinated 15yo, i bought military style automatics from the local paper with no licence. sold them to the government for five times what i paid for them during the big buy back.

the issue americans don't understand is the rights thing. they need 'rights', we don't and never did or will. they are our unspoken freedoms , not up for debate , and walking around in public and going to school or a movie without getting shot is of more value than laws that let us wave around assualt weapons.

the driving force behind the buy back was 'do we want to become like america?'

the nations decision was a sound NO. the vast majority of us dont need more liberal gun laws, and value our citizens lifes and safety.


since the big buy back thirteen years ago, there has not been one shooting incident with more than one fatality.

not one.





we now have the guns we need for purposes, not to compensate for small dicks.
