Quote of the Day
Bondi proved that Australia’s gun laws are broken and we can no longer delay fixing them, bipartisan support or not. There is no way that guns able to fire one bullet a second and eight bullets without reloading – which was the capacity of the guns used to kill 15 people and injure another 40 at Bondi – conform to either the spirit and intent of the NFA.

Australia’s Broken Gun Laws: A Call for Reform – The Jewish Independent
I just have to shake my head. She wants to restrict the rate of fire to below one round per second? There go revolvers, pump shotguns, and lever action rifles. I’ll bet some people with some bolt action rifles could even match that speed. So, she would have it be only derringers, muzzle loaders, and double-barreled rifles and shotguns as legal guns?
But, of course, that will be considered a feature instead of a bug in her “fixing” of their gun laws.
If President Trump wanted to do some high-end trolling, I think he could get some really “quality” reactions if he advocated for sanctions on countries that deny their citizens basic human rights like the right to keep and bear arms. He should start with Australia, Canada, and England because, as of 250 years ago they had the same gun legal history as the U.S. I would find moving the Overton Window on people like Cannold to be quite entertaining.
And after that, pointy knives.
And after that, hammers.
And after that, vehicles.
It’s faith. Completely unfalsifiable. No evidence is sufficient.
After that, sticks.
After that, opposable thumbs; they’ll just amputate everyone’s thumbs at birth, on the off-chance any given child will grow up to be a violent criminal.
It will never be enough.
All this from an assumption that government power is capable or inclined to solve a problem that they begin by misidentifying.
Cut to the chase: for what they propose to do, it will not be successful until 2/3 of the population are cops. One citizen being watched during their waking moments by two monitors, each of which is half watching the citizen and half watching the other monitor. Of course, to pay for this, the citizen is going to have to be doing something exceptionally productive to essentially fund the lifestyle of three people. Further, to keep the citizens and monitors from getting comfortable with each other to the point where they might conspire, they’ll have to be constantly rotated.
On the plus side, we’ve solved the unemployment problem, so there is no need for a welfare system.
On the downside, there literally is no slack in the system for someone that is neither productive nor able to fully perform the duties of a monitor (which does include physically intervening to stop violence or criminality), so the MAID becomes MAIDitory.
It strikes me a bizarre that Jews, of all people, think that government will protect them. Even the Israeli government failed on 10/7. Others are worse and some actively try to kill Jews.
Some Jews, in particular Orthodox Jews, appear to understand this just fine. That’s why the JPFO exists, and why Robert Avrech wrote his amazing essay “Jew without a gun” (look for it).
10/7 was the greatest success the jews ever had since ’45. Yeah for a couple hundred or so, bad times, but look at what they got post event, Bibi got all the pesky investigations and jail time worries postponed, gaza has been razed to the ground, Syria has been shattered, h-ballah in lebanon has some bad pageritis and been rendered ineffective,some leaders of h-mas got tagged in Doha, got it’s loyal and stupid golem USA to do more bidding in aid and bombing Iran, although like some of what they do, smart on tactics, not so much on strategy, Iran showed they can be hit back and hurt them, same as houtis showed theyre a honey badger and DGAF, oh yeah, the western world aged 40 and under cant stand ’em and don’t believe them anymore. So maybe some big problems down the road, but for today, Greater Israel and Heavenly Jerusalem projects are still a go. Can’t make an omlete without breaking a few eggs.
LOL wut bruh?
You want to try writing that again it’s hard to understand your line of thinking when, it’s all one run-on, sentence with the, occasional comma and no capitalization like, do you even english bro how did, you ever graduate high, school and become an ostensible adult, please hang, up and try again cuz.
“Gun control is the only harm mitigation strategy that works but the Coalition is attacking the government over antisemitism to paper over its difficulties in supporting restrictions on guns.”

Ah Leslie, you ignorant slut.
Just as Vox Day said years ago. “The first words out of their mouth is always a lie.”
Indeed, as you have said Joe, “show me where gun control has ever worked?”
It hasn’t, can’t, and never will. Only fat-headed mid-wits think it will. And communists that just want to destroy everything.
And why is this a jewish thing, and not a muslim thing also?????
Wasn’t it jihadi’s that shot the place up?
Seems to me their all just exporting THEIR middle-east problems to the rest of the world.
Since guns aren’t the problem. The people who use them in a criminal manner are. And people that want to make it a racial/religious thing.
The real answer is to keep the guns and export the problems.
You know, the one’s you should have never allowed in your country in the first place.
It’s an easy fix. “But, not my circus, not my monkey”. As Mr. Bracken would say.
Australia’s problems are far deeper than the Muslims. As is typical of the West, they don’t have a conservative party, just two varieties of socialists. People think we have it bad with the Uniparty but they are far worse. Someone described them as a country where half the people are descendants of convicts and the other half are descendants of prison guards.
“Indeed, as you have said Joe, “show me where gun control has ever worked?””
Depends on how you judge “working”.
It worked pretty well for the Nazis, for what their goals were.
It has worked quite well for the CCP, for what their goals are.
I could give more “successes”. The problem with those “successes” is that they are all EVIL.
Gun control works GREAT! As long as what you want is control of *people* and don’t care how many of them die for you to have it.
Gun control did work for the Nazis but they didn’t pass it. Weimar did and the Nazis got the lists when they took over the government.
All good.
But gun control only works against people that aren’t willing to fight back.
5 soldiers with bolt action rifles can herd a thousand demoralized people into cattle cars.
Now try that with a thousand cowboys.
Government never has enough guns on their side to have total control.
And it can only temporarily disarm anybody. (Go look at the shiv collection at any prison museum.) Your brain is the weapon. Not the gun.
That’s why government’s legalize drugs.
Demoralization.
Gun control worked quite well for totalitarian regimes.
For the most part these people FULLY understand how guns work. And they are not “anti gun”. They are just anti US owning guns. There can be no coexisting with the left. EVER. It’s us or them. And unless we wake up and start handing out one way helicopter rides…in massive quantities…it will eventually be just THEM left.
Same goes for islam..
At this point, it’s just to demoralize and denigrate their enemies. They KNOW it won’t be effective at lowering crime or violence, but that’s not the goal. The goal is to cow, destroy, or enslave the general population. They are evil. Reality doesn’t matter to them, just perceptions.
Alinski: “5. Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
“13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Don’t use facts and logic, make fun of them, and name and shame them, make them own the absurdity of their positions and their repeated failures.
It’s the standard idiots’ response to illegal (and immoral) acts committed by a person or persons with a gun:
Punish the people that DID NOT DO IT!
Freely admitted: I am an Australian. I have guns, I HAD a collection of WWII rifles – I was aiming (pun intended) for one of each variant fielded by the various combatants. For most of those firearms, I also HAD the matching bayonet.
Then the government banned the possession of semi-automatic rifles, so the US M1 had to go.
Later they banned the possession of large knives – bayonets were included, so out they went.
The latest edicts restrict the total number and type of firearms owned, so the rest of the collection had to go, along with the pump-action shotgun. They claim there was a universal buy-back, but that is a lie – there was a short-term, limited opportunity to receive compensation for SOME firearms.
I have no criminal record.
I have never been charged with a crime.
I have actually never even been IN a court-room.
The only times since my driving license test that I have been in a police station were to comply with increasingly draconian and restrictive firearms laws.
I am the archetype of “the guy who didn’t do it being punished”.
This clip at 1:25 shows 1 of the Bondi shooters was using a bolt gun. He just knew what he was doing.
