Excellent. Self defense is a fundamental human right that has been denied to Australia for far too long.

I find it strange that the general population is being dis-armed whilst the State Police are militarising their arsenals. What are they NOT telling us? Why are all Govt departments upgrading their perimeter protection? What is on the horizon?

The Port Arthur guns were illegal were they not? And all legal firearms were confiscated. What would be required is rock solid psychological screening before these guns were ever allowed for private ownership again.

Not going to happen.

Drug dealers are responsible for more deaths and grief in Australia than guns....what’s being done about them? Not a lot....

That's called democracy.

Over my bullet free body they will. Move to America if you want to play with guns you oversized toddlers.

Never ever

Who funds the secretive + unelected NGO known as Gun Control Australia ?... they have been influencing policy for 22yr's yet get a pass from a biased media. I shoot and I vote FLICKEM putthemajorslast

Yeah Amerigun keep that group of lobbyist right out of politics

Bring back the semi auto

If we need protection from anything its the mindless ideas of the Katter mob...

This ISN’T Amerika! The gun lobby here doesn’t have the power their US counterparts do. So they can waste as much money as they like on the election. They won’t weaken our gun laws. We still like them! Best thing the Howard Govt ever did!

4corners 22 yrs after Port Arthur massacre, arms dealers sponsor shooting days for federal politicians & donate $$$,$$$ to firearms-friendly political parties. Bob Katter is father-in-law of arms supplier Robert Nioa VestedInterest Donations auspol guns

Bob Katter has a family connection to the weapons importer Nioa. Here he is saying we need to protect our nation. Yes we do,we need protection from politicians with a conflict of interest on such a no brainer . He should be excluded from voting on this in the Senate. No wayUSA

Never! Be ever vigilant we cannot let anymore guns into Australia they will try every trick and spend lots of $$$ but the ordinary Aussie must stand up against them. It's governments who are scraping by that will bend to them to stay in power.

Let them shoot themselves in the foo...

4corners When the desire to make a shitload of money from gun sales & membership, outweighs the safety of a nation... 🤔

You've been poking the bear for too long now. I guess it has woken up.

4corners Go away!

No no no. We will not end up like the USA. Dont mess with whats working

These people are scum and we cannot afford to give any ground to them.

They have been taking notes from the NRA.

No. No no no. No no no no no no no. NO.
