But What About Those Australian Gun Laws?

Moviegoers were lucky to escape unhurt after three men and a teenage girl armed with guns and a machete stormed the foyer of a Sydney cinema in a “brazen and shocking” robbery, police say.
The incident at the suburban Roseville Cinemas on Monday night put the lives of families and children at risk, north shore Detective Inspector Carole Dowsen told reporters.
“It was a very brazen attack, something that we actually think is shocking,” Dowsen said. “They’re going to a movie cinema, it’s early and there could be children around, and they’ve got a shotgun.
“It’s extremely lucky that nobody was hurt.”
The NSW opposition police spokesman, Nathan Rees, said it reflected a sad state of affairs in Sydney.
“Nobody expects to be threatened with a machete or a shotgun as they go to the cinema,” he said.
Shocked, the police are! Shocked! This is ruining the narrative, you know, this gun related crime stuff in Australia. With their gun laws, they are supposed to be Shangri La.

What’s truly shocking is what quivering woosies so many Australians have become. They’d all die of shock if they could see pictures of my young sons and their guns in the 1970s… they started shooting by the time they were six and were hunting with their parents regularly soon after that.
The very idea that a child will be irrepairably damaged, merely by being in the same vicinity as a gun, is truly moronic. That’s the perfect way to raise ever more helpless victims, of course.
The “sad state of affairs” in all of Australia (as in Britain) is the loss of their spirit of freedom and fierce independence.

That, and the fact that everything in Australia – snakes, ants, spiders, plants, frogs – can kill you not just from the bite, but from merely brushing up against them.
Who would want to live in a place like that? I would indeed carry a gun if I lived there. Many guns, as a matter of fact.
