The “simple logic” reaction to what could have prevented the terror attack in Australia found pushback from leftists down under, riled by “insane & dumb American gun crazies.”
While gun grabbers love to cite statistics on the number of mass shootings that take place in the United States compared to other countries, often ignored are the significantly higher number of tragedies averted by good guys with guns. As The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh was among those recognizing how much faster the Bondi Beach attack could have been stopped, an Australian academic lauded plans for further government restrictions while calling for Americans to “f*ck off.”
During Monday’s installment of “The Matt Walsh Show,” the host had finished going over the policy changes in Australia that had led to massive demographic shifts in recent decades before making the point, “There were a thousand people on the beach nearby. One of them, if anyone was allowed to own handguns, would have shot these terrorists or at least forced them to retreat. And that’s not an academic or theoretical point.”
As one example, he referenced the good guys with guns who’d averted further tragedy outside Fort Worth, Texas, when they neutralized a man who’d opened fire inside the West Freeway Church of Christ in December 2019. “It’s a simple logic: good guys with guns can stop bad guys with guns.”
Despite that fact, and as the FBI had been found to downplay figures that found 36% of active shooters from 2014 to 2024 were stopped by armed civilians, Australia’s Dr. Jennifer Wilson celebrated Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s intent to further crackdown on the right of Australians to bear arms.
“In Australia, we don’t react with ‘thoughts & prayers’ when there’s a massacre. First thing our PM does is signal a tightening of gun laws. So f*ck off Americans, you’re still slaughtering your own children as they sit in school…” she wrote in one post, while in another she’d argued among echoing sentiments, “Seems to be a big campaign from insane & dumb American gun crazies on here [at the moment].”
Warning: Language
In Australia, we don’t react with “thoughts & prayers” when there’s a massacre.
First thing our PM does is signal a tightening of gun laws.
So fuck off Americans, you’re still slaughtering your own children as they sit in school…

I have deleted so many morons today. The gun lobbying Americans are a special kind of stupid. They wouldn’t know logic if it bit their face off.

Albanese, who favored extreme censorship, deeming memes misinformation, promised increased restrictions on firearm ownership as he’d also used the tragedy to warn of the dangers of “right-wing extremism.”

Of course, not all Australians agreed with those looking to further surrender their rights to defend themselves, as Queensland Sen. Pauline Hanson, the leader of the One Nation Party who had been temporarily removed for donning a burqa on the floor of Parliament, contended, “Australia doesn’t have a gun problem. We have a radical Islam problem.”
Australia doesn’t have a gun problem.
We have a radical Islam problem.

As he had discussed on his podcast, Walsh posed a question as he explained, “Australia used to have a whites only immigration policy. They abolished it decades ago so that they wouldn’t be called racist anymore. Question: In what way has the newer, more racially tolerant and diverse immigration policy benefited them?”
