President Barack Obama said in a recent address that he’s become ‘frustrated’ with America’s lack of movement toward civilian disarmament. As police in the USA become increasingly militarized (with Obama’s help), the president is using crime as an emotional tool to soften Americans toward gun control. Surrounded by heavily armed body guards, Obama said on June 10th:

Couple of decades ago, Australia had a mass shooting, similar to Columbine or Newtown. And Australia just said, well, that’s it, we’re not doing, we’re not seeing that again, and basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws, and they haven’t had a mass shooting since.

Our levels of gun violence are off the charts. There’s no advanced, developed country that would put up with this.

The law he speaks of was Australia’s 1996 National Firearms Agreement. “Very severe” might be putting it mildly. Australia’s gun laws are draconian. The right to keep and bear arms was eviscerated, leaving only a privileged, licensed few citizens who could legally own firearms.

Between 1996-97, an estimated 700,000 firearms were surrendered to the government by citizens wanting to avoid being classified as criminals.

Sales were restricted. Importation was restricted. Carry was restricted. Personal storage was restricted. The few remaining Australians (5%) bearing a government-granted license became subject to having their property inspected by the government. People who bring firearms into Australia without permission face a potential life sentence in prison.
