DMing from a cooker, I replied.
I’m confused. After the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, John Howard implemented Australia’s strict National Firearms Agreement.
So why, almost 30 years later, haven’t our rights been stripped away or the country slid into total government control?
They didn't like that.

I don’t use social media to argue about politics with strangers.
I use social media to talk to people about fish.
When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish.

"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"
I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

Instead of responding only with thoughts and prayers, Australia will respond with laws and regulations. Because, unlike the United States, it values the lives of its citizens over any sick adulation of firearms.
The 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to immediate, sweeping, bipartisan gun law reforms.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

This President commits at least one impeachable offense daily…
You could literally present a new charge every morning to justify why he should be impeached but you won’t even attempt it…
At the very least it would put a spotlight on all the shit he is doing that should see him removed from office…
