You can get weapons, it’s not impossible. You basically just can’t have a criminal history and need to present a good enough reason (sport shooting, hunting, collecting, etc).
But very few Australians are leftists, so it’s not like the quote would be something most would agree with. They’re liberals who think giving the state the monopoly in violence is a good idea.
I feel like the main thing that needs to happen to overthrow a state is not exactly guns, but for the oppressors to put theirs down. It just so happens they usually need an argument they’re able to understand.
Pretty much like California then. In Georgia, I could walk in a shop and buy anything. Here in CA, I think the wait period is lover a week, and shops are all but non existent. In GA, there is legitimate hunting and need. CA is more for the paranoid, at least here in SoCal. Y’all also have a lot more police training, if memory serves. That makes a big difference in the numbers and risk/assessment.
Most real liberals I have ever met look more like conservative stereotypes, own guns, are reasonable, and do not get tangled with idealism. That is not to say, indifferent to egalitarian cause, but realize the greatest evils in the world are ignorance and indifference.
the greatest evils in the world are ignorance and indifference.
That is idealism.
There’s no amount of information or appealing to morality or being really good and smart that will cause US politicians to stop giving weapons to Israel; they wouldn’t be in positions of power if their ideology didn’t benefit the military-industrial complex that finances their campaigns.
The loudest voices, especially on here, want to take away ALL guns in the USA. For many reasons it’s not going to happen and it’s pretty stupid to think it’s a good idea overall. Authoritarians regardless of political stripe like to disarm their public. Getting guns is one of the first things resistance groups do to start the overthrow of their oppressors.
Ain’t oz like fully disarmed?

Gun control does not equal gun ban. That applies to most countries in the world.

Then let’s let the rich control guns🙃
