Australia: The Death of a Nation

Day in and day out, we are inundated with messaging designed to keep us apart. Spotlights shine on our perceived differences: political affiliation, class, race, gender, or religion.

Pitting Americans against one another makes it easier for the gatekeepers to sustain power.  What better way to keep things as they are than by attacking the Second Amendment? Case in point: Australia.

Australians were once permitted to own firearms. Things changed in 1996.

AUSTRALIAN GUN CONTROL INITIATIVE

More than a million firearms were collected and destroyed by the Federal Government.

There were also two federally funded gun buybacks and voluntary surrenders.

Curtailing several high-profile killing sprees was the reason.

Sound familiar?

Could you take a look at what is under in 2021? happening down  The government has locked down millions of Australians due to Covid-19. Generally compliant, most Australians carried the line at first.

As in most places throughout the world, Australians soon realized that the more they stood pat, the more day-to-day freedoms withered away at the hands of elected officials.

A citizen of Australia is currently not permitted to venture further than five kilometers from their residence. Allow that to marinate. Does that sound like freedom? Consequently, every individual has a breaking point. For the majority of Australians, they have reached theirs.

Each day, new footage surfaces of power-hungry police brutalizing sovereign Australians who have no way of defending themselves.

Ten thousand citizens clashed against one hundred police officers carrying assault rifles. 

A numerical majority abused by gun-toting totalitarians has few options. Are all police officers suspect?

Of course not. Nonetheless, the autocratic scum in the videos that surfaced gives officers around the globe a bad look.

In the U.S., law enforcement thinks twice about blatantly abusing its citizens. Fear of recourse by gun owners is a major reason why.

The Second Amendment is America’s superpower. It is the last vestige of freedom in an increasingly autocratic, complex world where individual rights are becoming extinct. In simplest terms, when they have guns and we do not, the outcome is academic and dystopian. A look around the globe confirms as much.
