The amount of times Americans have told me to “stay out of the gun control debate” because I’m Australian is incredibly high, and i normally wouldn’t weigh in on this kind of thing on this platform… But now that this has happened on home soil, and we see creatures like this trying to drive their narrative against it, I can’t help but say this: Take your gremlin American self, and piss off with this bullshit, flimsy, damaging narrative. Australia experienced its major, mass shooting event in 1996 and our government responded. Breeding a safer society that experienced a sharp decline in mass shootings, homicides and gun related murders IMMEDIATELY after. Our country doesn’t need to send kids to school with Kevlar vests. Our police officers don’t need to be trigger happy at the fear that everyone they pull over is a concealed carry. I don’t need to walk the streets worried that someone is going to snap and start lighting the joint up. Gun control in Australia worked. People have tragically died in this horrific act and that cannot be understated. My heart goes out to those were simply at Bondi, enjoying an iconic piece of Australia. But more people would have died if they had access to magazine fed, semi automatic weapons, or if MORE guns were simply roaming the street. So disrespectfully. Fuck off. Australians don’t want American gun policy in our country.
