#1 Sounds like its time for some immediate incarcerations followed by permanent deportations back to country of origin. If you can't play nice in the West, then you can go back to the hellhole you came from. Nobody's going to cry any tears because some scumbag Muzzy has been booted.

#2 I want you to ignore the pamphlet that says, "Ally yourselves with those who work day and night to confront this war against Islam"

And I want you to ignore the pamplet that says, "Muslims overseas had "heroically resisted" invasion and "inflicted the most humiliating lesson on supposed superpowers".

Yes my followers, ignore the pamphlet our elders are passing around and let me again point out to you all of the things I want you to ignore.

#3 "We're not terrorists and we're not thinking of terrorist acts, we're not going to do anything in the future - God willing."

And yet...

It claimed new terror laws were part of a conspiracy to eradicate Islam in Western countries.

So lemme get this straight. The Muslims had allowed the distribution of a pamphlet equating anti-terrorism with anti-Islam. Then their spokesman says "God willing, we're not going to commit any acts of violence".

Well, pardon me, but that sounds like at some point this fellow might say, "Well, God just willed us to kill some kaffir" and start setting off boomers.

#5 Actually, LHR, I'm pretty sure the Australians sold their arms for false security.

#6 Oz rounded up all the guns and turned them into scrap. Very few persons in Oz have firearms. This just happened just a few years ago. Same thing that happened in the UK but on a bigger scale. Turn them in or go to jail.

Gun registration is not a good thing it leads to confiscation. Can you say Hilary Clinton? I knew you could.

#8 The Australian gun owning culture is different to the US, and not really comparable. Major difference is very low handgun ownership levels. Much less use of guns for self defence. Though handgun use is rising, mostly by criminal elements.
Long guns are a different story. Rifles and shotguns are ubiquitous in the bush, much less so in cities, unless by city based hunters or target shooters.Every farmer would have a few rifles for kangaroos, pigs etc in the crops. Australia abounds with problem feral animals and some tasty native ones. Speaking personally, I have hunted rabbits, hares, foxes, cats, dogs, dingoes, donkeys, goats, ducks and the odd kangaroo. Fairly typical for an Australian country boy, I would say.
Licences to own firearms are required and widely ignored. Police do not bother responsible firearm users.
Firearm ownership is pragmatic. If you need a rifle or shotgun, you get one. Very few law abiding Australians would consider owning a handgun, unless they were in crocodile country.

#9 Well.....for some reason I was thinking other wise.

My friend in Switzerland is Aussi and we would go to a Swiss indoor range and blast away. I remember him saying that the Aussies were well armed. But that was...almost 4 years now.

My bad, I will hang up on myself now....

#10 Australia abounds with problem feral animals and some tasty native ones.

Didn't think Australia had that much in common with France, Belgium, and Holland. Oh well, learn something every day.

#11 If anyone is interested, this is the kind of shit you have to go through to get a licence in Oz.
It's one reason why a lot of cockies can't be bothered getting a licence and the ferals are over running the bush

#12 Hmmmm...seems to me that when a Government cannot trust its own law-abiding citizens to own and responsibly use firearms to protect themselves and their families from the human "crocodiles," then it follows that what you have is a POLICE STATE where rights are doled out by the Government, rather than the powers of government being severely limited and granted ONLY by the consent of the governed.

And, ladies and Gentlemen, we are just beginning to see the tip of this radical Islamofacist iceberg coming south from Indonesia and points west. D'ya really think that these people will be encumbered by decency and restraint? Their incitement and open organizing for violent action is reason enough to DEMAND that your citizens have the absolute right to be armed as appropriate.
