US Jews learn to shoot guns as anti-Semitic violence continues to rise
its a worry when religous 'peace' loving people decide to take up arms.
i fully expect stories of innocent people getting murdered because they looked 'suspicious'
i follow a youtuber from the USA called 'furry potato' who is whats called a 'first amendment auditor'
its a small movement trying to test the ability to use the american citizens rights under their constitution by going out and filming govt and other entities from public view.
as enshrined in the US consitiution under 'free press'
she is a transgender former marine so she has had her fair share of bigotry in her life.
she has many youtube videos showing herself getting attacked and even shot!
because she was filming from a sidewalk!! and someone didnt like it.

It is already quite clear what is possible.
US citizens are armed with, at best, fully automatic small arms.
The US government is armed with the latest laser-guided-smart, much, much heavier weaponry, not to even mention their air force There is no real contest here and absolutely no hope of the US citizens causing much more than a niggling irritation to a one-day tyrannical government.
The purpose of the 2nd Amendment can no longer be fulfilled to any meaningful degree.
By the way, the US president just launched a deadly attack on a person it considered a threat to US interests without asking the US Congress for permission to do so. The Iranian govt has said that they consider this strike an act of war.
It seems rather as if the US already has a tyrannical govt and there is nothing much being done about it.
(frankly there is nothing much you can do about it, is there? the will seems to lacking, in company with the means to redress this situation)

Applying for a Permit to Acquire a Firearm (PTA)
You can apply for a PTA a firearm online at the Service NSW website: www.service.nsw.gov.au
What you'll need to complete an online application:
- A MyServiceNSW Account linked to the NSW Police Force
- Your firearms licence or permit number
- Full address details of where you will store the firearm
- If applying to acquire a handgun for sport/target shooting you will also need:
- Club Confirmation form completed by a club official
- Pistol Firearms Safety Completion Certificate (for probationary pistol licence holders only)
- Credit card for payment of the $30 PTA fee (unless you are a Primary Producer, or you have a fee exemption status as a Pensioner recorded with the NSW Police Force Firearms Registry)
When the PTA is issued it will be posted to you and you may then acquire your firearm on presentation of the issued PTA to your firearms dealers.
Miss this one Bid

So you're saying that springyzone lied in saying, "There are millions of guns in Australia. What is very different though is availablility of guns. Over here, you have to jump through a few hoops before you are qualified to own one"?
Not enough hoops - apparently.
Simply carp.

Once the citizens are disarmed, who can say what is possible?
That can never happen when you consider that they are always finding some nutter or nutter organization
that has 100' or 1000's of guns hidden away and you have a high probability that one of those may be the
ones that try an uprising or massacre in the future because they feel/felt wronged.
The US needs gun control and tighter laws and applications for owning a gun.
At present having a rate of 1.2 guns per person and only having 5 in a 100 owning those guns is a huge
discrepancy and means that you have a lot of citizens that own multiple guns and it makes a complete mockery
of the so called right to bear arms in the 2nd amendment which was put in place as a defence for the country
not as a means to attack it.
As I said, I own no guns, but it's not rational to say "never" or "impossible".
Not it's not as you obviously skipped over the facts that they are voted in and your agencies would never allow
a president or anyone else to form a dictatorship as it would destroy the US as acountry and they will never let
that happen.

I know as I used to have one of those,a machette,a full set of Gurhka knives and a "few" other things that I had
to hand in when we invited a cop into the house and he saw them(my OH used the machette to chop kindling as she couldn't use an axe).

They only let him go so far and if he went just that little bit to far he would see what no gun control means.
