Let’s Talk About Crime In Australia – Obama’s an asshole…
by Reinhard Vint

We keep hearing from the Commander-in-Chief just how wonderful life has become in Australia, since the Constitutional Monarchy has forced the citizens to surrender their firearms. Wow! I wonder what they have been doing that the United States has not to make that country so crime free? The president at a recent conference and other events has been announcing that, since Australia has taken their citizens’ basic God-given right to defend themselves from attack, they have become much safer without evil firearms everywhere. He is very outspoken on the fact that the crime rate is much lower than it had been before the gun grab.

The president stated, “We are the only developed country on earth where this happens, and it happens now once a week, and there is no place else where this happens.” He then went on to recant the mass shooting in Australia, two decades ago, “…and the government said that’s it, we are not seeing that again, and enacted very strict gun laws, and they have not had a mass shooting since.” He makes reference to our Second Amendment and the fact that we have historically respected gun rights as a different tradition (instead of a constitutional right). You can watch the Tumblr interview on Youtube, and this comes in at about 38:33 into the interview.

Okay, let’s take a moment and walk through some facts. First off, let’s see just what Australia is all about and if we can compare the U.S. to them. Australia is a continent with a land mass of about 3,310,000 sq miles, while North America has a mass of about 9,540,000 sq miles. There is only a difference there of 6,230,000 sq miles. So, you could almost put three Australian continents in North America. I guess we are much larger. Hmmm… I bet there is a huge difference in population between the U.S. and Australia with so much more land mass here in the U.S.

Obama Suggests US Needs Ban On Semiautomatic, Automatic Weapons

President Barack Obama Tuesday suggested that the U.S. government should follow Australia’s example in dealing with shooting sprees, which involved strict gun bans on semiautomatic and automatic weapons.

“Australia had a mass shooting [in 1996] similar to Columbine and Newtown, and just said, ‘That’s it, we’re not seeing that again,’ and basically imposed very severe tough gun laws and they haven’t had a mass shooting since,” Obama said, after he was asked for his reaction to recent shooting episodes in California and Oregon. Those laws included the confiscation of nearly all handguns and rifles.

“We can have respect for the Second Amendment and responsible hunters and sportsmen can have possess weapons,” Obama told an audience of students during a broadcast on the Tumblr website.
