Officials in Australia are
saying no to a total ban on guns, which is pretty amazing when you consider how effective the global gun ban community has been in Australia. Don't forget, the Australian government spent more than half a billion dollars in confiscating more than 600,000 firearms from law abiding Australians.
Even the politician proposing the total firearms ban admits it won't work. Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Pallaras told reporters, "I'm reluctant to totally prohibit anything because prohibition historically hasn't seemed to work very well."
Yet even though he says it doesn't work, he wants to try it. He wants to try and wipe out gun ownership in Australia... because it feels good.
That's ridiculous. Other politicians have pointed out that criminals in Australia are getting their guns the same way criminals get their guns here; on the black market. And so far, logic seems to be winning the day.
Of course most Australian gun owners will say it's too late, that their country has already gone too far down the road to disarmament. They say they're a warning to the rest of the world... a warning to us: stand up for your rights before it's too late.
