Australian Lawmaker Says Tyrannical Gun Laws Made A “Nation Of Victims” & It’s “Unforgivable”
Freedom Outpost
In the wake of the jihadist taking hostages in a Sydney café earlier this week and murdering two of them, and Australian lawmaker blasted the tyrannical gun laws, similar to those in England, that led to the citizens he serves being turned into a “nation of victims.”
Sen. David Leyonhjelm of Australia’s Liberal Democratic Party said that if the hostages had been allowed to carry guns concealed there would have been someone who would have been able to stop him.
“That nutcase who held them all hostage wouldn’t have known that they were armed and bad guys don’t like to be shot back at,” Senator Leyonhjelm told ABC radio, according to the Guardian.
“We are all disarmed victims,” Leyonhjelm added.
He then spoke about Tori Johnson and Katrina Dawson, who were reportedly shot by the Islamist just moments before police entered the café and shot him dead.
“It would have been illegal for them to have a knife, a stick, a pepper spray, a personal Taser, mace, anything like that for self-defence,” Senator Leyonhjelm said.
“To turn an entire population into a nation of victims is just unforgivable,” the Senator concluded.
I find it ironic that a Senator from the Liberal Democratic Party in Australia can get what his counterparts by the same name in America don’t get and that is that the right to keep and bear arms is a God-given right to defend one’s self and government has absolutely no business, including issuing concealed carry permits, in it.

When we were told to ‘hand in’ our guns, it was for the “benefit of the nation”, for everyone’s ‘safety’. Everyone with guns had to register them, or hand them in.
So what happened? All the good ‘law abiding’ people had their guns taken off them and the bad people kept theirs and now good people are at the mercy of the ones with guns.
All the government achieved was, bad people ended up with the guns and everyone else had no way to defend themselves. We’re not even allowed to have knife, or even a sling shot for protection. You can end up with a criminal record, if found with any ‘weapon’ on your person.
How we as Australians, ever let this happen, is beyond me.
