America would be in the top three safest countries in the world if the black population's violence were not part out the country's stats. Too bad Abe was killed, he would have solved this problem for us.

The ignorance shown by some of the American posters on here regarding firearm laws in Australia is beyond belief. You'd think that if someone was going to criticize a country's firearm laws, that they would at least have some idea what they're talking about.
The latest Global Peace Index for 2022 places Australia at 27 and the good old USA at 129. That's right, 129, far worse than many 3rd world countries. The simple fact is that in Australia and New Zealand (rated 2nd safest country) people don't need to carry a firearm for self defense because there is no threat. I'm 70 years young and have never known any member of the law abiding public who has needed a gun for self defense and I was in law enforcement for many years. Of course, being an ex-police member, you have the attitude that only police should have guns and the general public should be completely defenseless. If a house invasion is happening or a group of African youths are attacking someone, then the victim should just call the police, and the Police will come, half an hour later. Zeissman do you also think the Police should be disarmed? The public is armed if they want to be and I fully support that. Try arguing with a 12 gauge shotgun, even an old side by side, loaded with buckshot.

It's not just the blacks; you have millions of illegal aliens, no doubt many who are criminals, from south of your border roaming your cities and towns.

Idiot A typical low IQ response similar to what the little tyke ribka would come up with. 129th in the world for safety! Something to be really proud of. I suppose you're really proud of your current commie president too?

Firearms must be locked in safe's and so does ammunition in a separate locked facility. There is no way that anybody during a home invasion could have a firearm ready for a home invasion and not be committing a "crime". And you know that.

Stats prove what I said. Illegals now could be part of the issue also, but I have no information on that.

Now were you to take a firearm into a public place, even if it's in a bad part of town at a bad time (night-time) and you used it for self-defense, you would be up on a murder charge as well as all the other charges, and you would be thrown in jail straight away.

Your argument that someone Down Under wouldn't jeopardise their family's safety to avoid facing definite legal ramifications may be true in many instances, but that doesn't change the legal ramifications of all those individual acts and what I said is completely true. So don't try and talk your ass out of it with your misguided loyalty, like you always like to do, because you can't.

Ring any bells? "Resistance to gun reform in Australia had been fierce in the years leading up to Port Arthur. In 1987 two massacres in Melbourne left a total of 15 people dead and placed the issue of gun control firmly on the national political agenda. But the firearms lobby and lawmakers in gun-friendly states like Queensland and Tasmania worked to frustrate efforts at federal reform. Part of the problem, and an obvious point of similarity with the situation in the United States today, was that guns were mostly regulated by the states, which made reform dependent on national coordination...." https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ny...n/australia-mass-shootings-guns.amp.html

I'm curious what "loaded ready for defense" firearms you have in your house .... this does not include "stored" guns & ammo in separate safes/lockboxes etc ...

And of course you would think that the dumbasses would have learnt something over the last 124 years with the various wars they were involved in. In the Boer War a good percentage of the Australian participants were from the country and had skills in rifle usage and living in the "bush". They were quality troops as were a reasonable percentage of the ones who went off to fight in WW1. By WW2 there were still a lot of quality people. Besides the fact that many of those quality people died in combat and couldn't breed, with a consequence that many who were left who did breed were garbage as they were too weak/unsuitable to go off to battle, very few now have the skills necessary were there to be an invasion. So the present situation is that you have garbage people bred from weak garbage parents who have no skills of living off the land and using firearms, so the country could not defend itself if it needed to. If they were too stupid to look and learn from their own situation, they could have easily learnt by looking at how the Finns held off the invading Russian army in and around 1939.
