The bottom line is its quite easy to obtain a bolt action magazine feed rifle in Australia. However far harder to obtain a semi-Automatics, or military style rifles
Your allowed to have freedom ,BUT not too much freedom.
Kind of like my dog with a shock collar.

...i'm sure you a quite correct and i have no reason to doubt what you say...

...however, i would humbly assert that the "bottom line" , in reference to gun ownership, is what you are witnessing in Oz at the moment..

Yep, if you are going to do lockdown, it makes sense to do it at one case rather than at 147000 cases.

There have been a few posters who have unironically highlighted the one case.

Do you have the freedom to visit a legal brothel in your part of the USA? We have one just up the road from my place, ironically its also rather close to a gun shop, and full open with no COVID restrictions.

Can I ask what state or E/W/N/S location in that state? I'd love to move there honestly

You stop deliveries from those big rigs for just one week - everything gets really, really bad.

Obviously you cannot social distance in a brothel, therefore businesses like that are the first to shut and last to reopen.

I am an accountant by occupation, and one of our biggest clients operates 2 strip clubs, among many other investments. So if you want a full breakdown of the financial impact, I am actually in a good position to tell you that.

Though in the interest of research, i actually did google the site of our local, and confirmed its indeed open for business, we actually no restrictions in QLD at all at the moment, other than to a mask mandate inside a business, that is not designed for the consumption of food or drink.

One of them put out a TikTok video telling citizens to stock up on everything and sit tight for a couple of weeks because they were planning to bring down the Government, with the help of veterans. Yeah, baby!

Wanna bet that will happen here, too? Domino effect all over Europe?
Why do you lie so much.

I already provided you with source information in another thread that proved the absurdity of your delusions.

Is your strategy just to spread around the lie as much as possible and hope you suck other in?

Again, not one of your claims is accurate.
