        Mate, I’m armed and in Australia. That shitshow can easily happen here. It was only a few decades ago that ‘poofter bashing’ was normalised and assaulting minorities even more common place, things can go backwards and get worse.

          Perhaps and if so, having a gun probably won’t help much. That said, if it gets to that point I’ll have no issues getting one.

          I remember those days well. Being armed didn’t help Queenslanders if Joh wanted to turn his wrath on them. What did was unity and watching each others backs. Having safe places

          The key to doing well in that situation is looking after each other.
