Australia confiscated guns from 1996 thru 2002 - they are now disarmed. Take this as a lesson.

Cops Fire Rubber Bullets, Arrest 200 At Massive Australian COVID-19 Lockdown Protest In Melbourne

[Protests Continue In Melbourne Over COVID-19 Restrictions And Vaccine Requirements]

Melbourne police fired rubber bullets into a crowd and arrested more than 200 people during the third straight day of anti-lockdown in Australia’s second-largest city, which is trying to maintain strict stay-at-home orders to control the spread of COVID-19.
Australia has adopted some of the strictest anti-COVID measures in the world in an attempt to reach “COVID-zero,” or a full period without a single COVID-19 infection. Construction workers, who are being cited as the first group to protest, are also now subject to mandatory vaccination.
CNN noted in late August that “until recently the strategy had been largely successful. To date, Australia has seen just 44,026 confirmed Covid-19 cases and 981 deaths. But several major Australian cities, including Sydney, Melbourne and the capital Canberra, are under lockdown as authorities struggle to contain an outbreak of the Covid-19 Delta variant.”
National authorities in Australia have since hinted at transitioning to an approach similar to how the country “manages other infections diseases,” particularly in light of massive protests that have occasionally turned violent, but the timeline for change remains uncertain.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said that they will likely consider loosening restrictions once the country’s vaccination rate reaches “70% to 80%.”
Tuesday’s protest, the third protest in a row in Melbourne, was no exception. Two officers were injured as thousands, including many construction workers whose livelihoods have ground to a halt during the lockdown, took to the streets to demonstrate against the stay-at-home order.

“Golf balls, batteries and bottles were among the items thrown at police during the protests held in defiance of stay-at-home orders after a two-week closure of building sites to rein in infections, which rose again in the state of Victoria,” Reuters reported. “Police are bracing for more demonstrations in the next few days, said deputy commissioner Ross Guenther.”
National Public Radio reports that the protests started with individuals in the trades, whose breakrooms have been shuttered over COVID-19 concerns.
“After the government closed down tearooms at work sites, some workers took their lunch breaks outside on Friday. They set up tables and plastic chairs in multiple intersections in central Melbourne, blocking roads and holding up traffic,” the outlet noted. “On Monday, people gathered outside the headquarters of the prominent Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union to protest the mandate, chanting and yelling before attempting to storm the building.”

Since Monday, other factions have reportedly joined the protests, including groups opposed to government vaccine mandates. Authorities speaking to media blamed “right-wing” agitators for the violence and suggested that the union-worker protests are being infiltrated by nefarious characters.
Still, The Guardian reported Tuesday that protesters chanted “f*** the jab” and “every day,” indicating a “promise to keep protesting daily until Melbourne’s COVID restrictions are lifted.”
This week’s protests are hardly the first in Australia. Authorities there have been struggling to contain unrest related to the country’s strict lockdown measures all summer. Back in July, there were similar thousand-person protests in Melbourne and also unrest in Syndey, according to the BBC, following a decision by the local government to extend lockdowns.

There are the weakest and mostb stupidly hateful people on earth
Taking away "assault weapons" is the most ignorant thing Democrats could ever do to this country
We have a US national defense highway system built for the purposes of our national defense planned by president Eisenhower the 5 start general who beat the Germans to surrendering in WW2
Upon these US interstate highways troops and war materials can move to any US point of invasion, as well as the millions of armed US citizens who will join with our troops in such a desperate national need of the very life of the United States
But never expect any Democrats to join up and defend our country , they are doing their very to take our national defense ability's to defend this country away with their bullshit reasoning that semi autos are weapons' of war only designed to used on a battle field just like the cannons the founders allowed the people to own and fight the English with . Democrats point to the fact that fewer then 1500 people have been shot in mass shootings dead or wounded since 1966 as the reason the law abiding US citizen can not possess these rifles that are the best civilian rifle for our defense
These are some very stupid sick brain washed people indeed ! As Red China keeps on building up a super military and Democrats worry about their waterfront gilted property that may get wet in 100 years

Someone like Trump is FAR more likely to take away our guns. If Trumps coup had worked the way he planned and he had consolidated power for the foreseeable future, all the gun owners would become a threat to him. Power hungry sociopaths like Trump don't care about the people, just maintaining and growing their power base and when, not if, people start to realize that this and want him out, it will be too late. Kiss the guns goodbye.
Trumps history and his motive is clear. He is the biggest threat to this country since WWII.

Pushed doj and atf to ban bumpstocks as a knee-jerk reaction which resulted in atf just rewriting the definition to turn millions of gun owners into felons over a plastic stock
Mouthed off about how he was going after silencers because they were so dangerous, until the nra met with him and explained he would lose support and reelection unquestionably
Pushed for gun confiscation without due process "worry about due process second..."
And yet despite all that the idiot trumptards STILL had the gall to try and voice support for this clown because "libs just want to take your guns and trample on the 2nd!!! Vote TRUMP!" Pfft

We just hate the lying, cheating conman one-term former president Trump more. The difference is, President Biden will retire into obscurity and bike around Wilmington and Rehoboth, while the lying, cheating conman one-term former president Trump will almost surely eventually go to jail for his decades of bank and insurance fraud and income tax evasion.

Never said I voted for biden, but why the fuck are you so blatantly ignoring how terrible trump was on the 2nd? Bump stocks were manufactured, sold to civilians, and approved to be legal by the atf under president Obama, they stayed that way until president trump decided they needed to be gone. We got more new gun control under 4 years of trump than we ever saw in 8 years of Obama. Defend your Dear Leader on gun control please, I'd love to hear it.
