Good one though oddly enough there are more guns in Oz than there were before the ban.
Less effective ones to be sure but the guns and ammo are there. So is the mass consciousness. Playing in the streets is in that culture makes sense and enormous crowds protesting are effective despite mass censorship at conveying the message to the people.
The elite there however are utterly obdurate in cannot or will not change course.
Now what is lacking in the will to flip the last switch. As you Aussie reader noted its a very get along to go along culture, as an outsider my analogy is White 80's S.F. L.A and San Diego California as a whole nation .
Also you can't really blame them. Such a war would mean at least 20% of the population will be killed, the economy ruined for many generations and people that are essentially no harder than us, softer in some ways will have to carry the weight of horror . On top of that they have to fix it .
They certainly are closer to BOOM than we are but its along hard thing.
" Also you can't really blame them." Huh? "Such a war would mean... " Uh Liberty? I'm not saying they ought to flip the switch NOW, but it's 2359 on their clock, only 2356 or so on ours. It's not so much " lacking in the will " (I hope and pray) as it is not having had that "Regulars marching out" moment...yet. "On top of that they have to fix it " Only way out is through, man. Ain't gonna fix itself. Hard times call for hard people. Boat Guy
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.

ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

Concentration camps. But hey, it's a luxury camp where you can wear a bikini.
