I agree with your post. Would the Australia leadership have acted with such confidence if a good number of their citizens were still armed?

The most violent places in this country are cities with the strictest gun lows. Chicago and NYC are experiencing population loss in part due to the epidemic of violent crime.

Chicago in fact is not seeing population loss, despite its borders being overrun with guns from Indiana.

Chicago lost 320,000 residents, many of them black. There is a political power play going on in the Chicago City Council over control of that body due to the loss of black residents. The HispanicтАЩs will control that body in a few years.

Chicago lost significant population in the last decade as evidenced by the loss of a congressional seat. Same for New York. The тАЬ guns from IndianaтАЭ trope is political nonsense, that ironically prove guns donтАЩt kill peopleтАжpeople kill people.

Broken Windows was not, to my knowledge, imposed in Australia.

DidnтАЩt mean to imply it was. Gun confiscation was employed there. That may be why the citizens had to endure oppressive lockdowns during the pandemic.

Australia is a mess, and it is not a free country anymore. They have whta they voted for though. It is never happening here.
