With the Australian Government and by that I meant the four major players. Labour, Liberal, Greens and Nationals supporting one another in forced Covid Vaccinations, Digital Money, Digital ID and Internet Censorship I begin to wonder after having our gun rights dissolved in 1996 by John Howard. The same Prime Minister that was never was never charged for crimes against humanity for invading another country along with Tony B and Blair and George W Bush. I begin to look into how many governments have committed mass genocide. Not counting the forced vaccinations and the relation to gun control. Just something to think about and in these current times if it is worth trying to fight to abolish all firearms laws made since 1996 in this country.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.
How has gun control helped Australia
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent.
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent.
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort, and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.

With guns, we are ‘citizens’. Without them, we are ‘subjects’.

Burma/Myanmar: (state-led)

Since 2021
Targeted Group: Non-combatant civilians suspected of opposing the military junta
Perpetrator: State security forces

This latest mass killing began shortly after the Tatmadaw—the country’s ruling military junta—seized power on February 1, 2021. Following the coup, civilians began protesting peacefully, to which the Tatmadaw responded with excessive force. Since then, demonstrations have continued and the conflict landscape has become increasingly complex, with old and new conflicts overlapping.

Ethiopia: (state-led)

Since 2020
Targeted Group: Tigrayan civilians
Perpetrator: Ethiopian and Eritrean state security forces

A civil war that started in November 2020 in Ethiopia’s Tigray region has devolved into a brutal conflict that threatens the well-being of millions. The conflict includes multiple armed actors, several of whom are alleged to be committing mass atrocities. From the beginning of the war, witnesses reported the intentional targeting of civilians, often along ethnic lines.

Burma/Myanmar: (state-led)

Since 2016
Targeted Group: Non-combatant Rohingya civilians
Perpetrator: State security forces

State violence against the Rohingya population in Rakhine State escalated sharply in late August 2017, in what a top UN human rights official called a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing.” Total fatalities in the campaign of violence—which included killing as well as incidents of rape and other sexual violence, arbitrary mass arrests, enforced disappearances, and forced displacement—are estimated in the thousands. The latest campaign has forced approximately 700,000 refugees to neighboring Bangladesh. We back-date mass killing onsets to the first year when more than 100 civilians were killed in the campaign; thus we mark the start of the episode in Burma/Myanmar as 2016 based on UN reporting suggesting that the total was at least in the hundreds that year.
Philippines: (state-led)

Since 2016
Targeted Group: Non-combatant civilians accused of using or selling drugs
Perpetrator: State security forces and associated vigilante groups

The government of the Philippines’ state security forces and associated vigilante groups began cracking down on suspected drug users and sellers (along with other suspected political enemies) in a coordinated campaign of mass killing in 2016. In July 2016, the government launched “Operation Double Barrel” to carry out the president’s campaign promise to wipe out all “drug personalities.” Human rights groups estimate the death toll since President Rodrigo Duterte took office to be well into the thousands.
Ethiopia: (state-led)

Since 2015
Targeted Group: Non-combatant Oromo civilians

Since 2011, the government of Syria has systematically attacked civilians opposing Bashar al-Assad’s rule and populations presumed to be supporting rebel forces. The Syrian civil war is the most destructive humanitarian crisis since World War II.

Insurgent groups in the Kivus intentionally target civilians as part of the ongoing series of conflicts. DRC presents a case where, although the Early Warning Project is able to conclude that nonstate groups have systematically targeted civilians on a large enough scale to qualify as a mass killing episode, information does not allow us to identify a single perpetrator group.
