I hold grudges, when I really shouldn't.
booty and I had a beef that has long since been squashed. I guess I kind of sort of perceived her as the type of person who would be open to taking guns away from all people because she thinks we can trust government. But I don't know if she ever thought that - that's just a big assumption on my part.
But clearly there IS a large faction of Australians that think such a naive thing as that - and for THAT reason...I'm happy that they are going through this.
I think the current situation in Australia is EXACTLY THE REASON why they/we can't trust our government.
That being said, Australians will never be given BACK their guns...only more will be taken away. So what's the solution? Things have to get so bad that Australians [or Canadians - or anyone actively being disarmed by their own government] will need to fight a revolutionary war before they are given their guns back.
You know - kind of like the Founding Fathers of the USA.
This type of thing is totally unacceptable [below], and I hope an Australian goes totally postal because of this, and that a massive blowout incident takes place, that makes government officials think twice before doing this to people.
Any such incident would probably be used to further crack down on the Australian people though. But one thing I can be sure of - tyranny, historically, never lasts. I can only hope that is the case of both Australia and Canada today.
