In a classic illustration of fear porn, the Royal Australian Air Force shut down airspace over an air force base to test fire a “high-powered” single-shot .50 caliber rifle. When it comes to firearms, it’s all about sensationalism in service to civilian disarmament to help convince the public to surrender guns that are seldom, if ever, used in crime.

Those of us living in the free states here in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave just giggle at such an absurd reaction to a discharging a single-shot rifle. Then again, the bed-wetting bureaucrats in Oz succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

They even had those present wear face diapers — outdoors — because COVID infections apparently skyrocket in the presence of such wickedly powerful boomsticks. And the Australian media ate it all up.

Australians have turned into the biggest pussies in the Free World. Even the faggots in Canaduh are not as castrated. A country with a history of being a Prison Island, these poofdahs that accept this shit, are obviously from the prisoner class, being fudgepacked from the Prison Guard class. Bunch of fags.
 
Aussie's then...Hard fighting, hard drinking, and very funny

Back in WW2, the Aussies were ferocious fighters.

I predict that the US is right behind Australia. Just a matter of time when all of our woke young people get the right to vote.
 
I don't know what's worse, this or our military expending millions to shoot down weather balloons (the 2 after the Chinese one).
 
Are they STILL face diapering down under?
A few weeks ago, my wife dragged me to a concert at a church with 90% African Americans in it (think Blues Brothers). I had to wear my ear plugs due to the astonishing volume (and I've played in rock bands for the past 40 years!). It seems a majority of Blacks there were still wearing them. Not sure why...culture? fear? I dunno.

This is what a low T nation looks like...The US isn't far behind. :(
 
I just love it the more control and less firearms they have,the higher the value of this baby goes up.284662094_337754168435722_6456481139167949671_n (2).jpg

There's a Navy or Air Force training center in Artesia, NM. There is a FLETC center in Artesia, NM.

Base/Final for the airfield flies right over the firing range, short final. Planes are only a couple hundred feet off the ground, maybe 1k feet. Shiny new federal agents are learning to shoot fully automatic rifles on those ranges. The horror.
 
Are you sure this was what it was actually shut down for and not just a silly cover for something real?

Keep in mind that the event was to encourage public support for a new gun law, so hyping the danger factor would be consistent with that goal.
 
So, the WA Rifle Association assisted in this demo on their own range? They seem to be about as useful as our NRA

“The Australian Defence Force was forced to restrict air space at RAAF Base Pearce as a high-powered 0.50 calibre sniper rifle was fired during a demonstration to promote new gun laws.

Premier Mark McGowan, then-police commissioner Chris Dawson and Police Minister Paul Papalia attended the media event at the WA Rifle Association’s firing range in Pinjar in March last year to illustrate why the high-powered weapons needed to be taken off the streets.”

They are probably on the receiving end of "Nice range you have here, would be a shame if you lost the licenses you need to run it ....."

So will that be good or bad? Not clear from your comment.
