The plan involves the Attorney General and Minister for Home Affairs developing a package of legislative reforms to crack down on those who spread hate, division and radicalisation. The National Security Committee has agreed five changes: 1) Aggravated hate speech offence for preachers and leaders who promote violence. 2) Increased penalties for hate speech promoting violence. 3) Making hate an aggravating factor in sentencing crimes for online threats and harassment. 4) Developing a regime for listing organisations whose leaders engage in hate speech promoting violence or racial hatred. 5) Developing a narrow federal offence for serious vilification based on race and/or advocating racial supremacy. Additionally, the Minister for Home Affairs will have new powers to cancel or reject visas for those who spread hate and division in this country, or would do so if they were allowed to come here. The East Safety Commissioner, the Special Envoy and the Department of Communications will work together to provide online safety advice to address anti Semitism. Over the coming days, there will be more information about the government’s response to Sunday’s atrocity, including on gun control, and it is noted that New South Wales is moving on that next week.

The speaker believes that everyday citizens carrying guns increases the likelihood of gun deaths. States with comprehensive gun safety reforms have lower gun death rates, and there is a correlation between gun safety and saving lives. California has one of the lowest gun death rates in America, while the highest murder rates tend to be in red states; eight of the top ten murder rates per capita are in red states. California started establishing common sense gun safety laws in the nineties, leading to a significant, nation-leading reduction in the gun death rate since then. The speaker states they are focused on data and evidence, and also mindful and respectful of the Second Amendment.

Speaker 0 describes a mass shooting in a church during a ceremony: 'this was a man, a madman, acting alone, somehow knows about this ceremony.' An eight- and a 10-year-old were killed; 'an eight and a 10 year old,' and 'a total of 19 that we know of that were hit,' with 'seventeen injured, and of those 14 were children.' The gunman used 'three guns, multiple guns.' A child had to tell 'one of her friend's dads that the friend had been shot.' There will be stories of heroism and faith, but 'there are also adults that were shot.' The discussion acknowledges 'thoughts and prayers' are not enough: 'these kids were literally praying' and 'what can we do better with background checks or with assault weapons.' They mention 'a bipartisan bill for community violence' and 'my provision on domestic violence' to keep gun access from those convicted, plus 'national standards.'

Gun violence has deeply affected many communities in the U.S. However, it doesn't have to be this way, as shown by the experiences of Australia.

We are introducing legislation to freeze handgun ownership in Canada, meaning no more buying, selling, transferring, or importing handguns. We will also combat gun smuggling and trafficking by increasing penalties and providing more tools for law enforcement. Additionally, long gun magazines will be permanently altered to hold a maximum of 5 rounds. These actions are based on the advice of doctors, experts, and police chiefs. We thank the advocates present for their tireless efforts, acknowledging that their work stems from grief and loss. On behalf of all Canadians, we express gratitude for their strength.

I'm Kate Vantanel, also known as Laney Liberty, discussing the Western Australian Firearms Act Voluntary Buyback Scheme. The WA State Labour Party government is offering $64.3 million to encourage firearm owners to surrender their guns, with valuations based on registration age, not manufacturing age. Many firearm values are significantly lower than market prices, as seen with a 1963 Winchester offered only $525. The government claims public support for fewer guns, but many are unaware of current laws and restrictions. There are concerns about the government's consultation process and transparency. I urge firearm owners not to participate in this buyback scheme. Instead, consider alternative options for your firearms. Now is the time to stand firm and resist these measures. I'm here to support and listen to your stories as we fight against this initiative.

In various countries, gun control laws led to mass exterminations of millions who couldn't defend themselves. Recent gun control in Australia resulted in increased homicides, assaults, and armed robberies. Crime rates rose after confiscating citizens' firearms, showing the importance of self-defense rights. History teaches us that over 56 million people were killed by governments that restricted their rights. We must learn from these facts.

Speaker 0: I'm gonna give you we need this in credit. Do know do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last ten years? Counting or not counting gang violence. Great. Holy shit.

I own a Glock, which I've had for quite some time, and my background is in law enforcement. Yes, I've fired it at a shooting range. Regarding assault weapons, I support a mandatory buyback program and a ban on their importation. We need to address the over 2 million assault weapons already in circulation. If Congress doesn’t act within 100 days, I will implement comprehensive background checks and an assault weapons ban through executive action. We will also work to pass universal background checks and red flag laws. It's important to ensure responsible gun ownership in the community, and we will check for safety in homes where guns are legally possessed.

Australia's first gun amnesty in 20 years has resulted in the surrender of 51,000 illegal firearms, allowing individuals to hand over weapons without punishment. This initiative reflects the country's stringent gun control measures, which Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull believes significantly reduce the likelihood of mass shootings, such as the Las Vegas incident. The amnesty, launched in June and lasting three months, has led to the surrender of one-fifth of illegal guns, all of which will be destroyed. Australia's strict firearm regulations were established following the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre, where 35 people were killed, and since then, there have been no mass shootings in the country.

In the first year after Australia mandated the surrender of 640,000 guns, homicides rose by 3.2%, assaults by 8.6%, and armed robberies by 44%, costing the government $500 million. Historical examples show that gun control often precedes mass exterminations: in Turkey (1911), 1.5 million Armenians were killed; in the Soviet Union (1929), 20 million dissidents perished; and in Nazi Germany (1938), 13 million Jews and others were exterminated. Similar patterns occurred in China (1935), Guatemala (1964), Uganda (1970), and Cambodia (1956-1977), leading to millions of defenseless victims. The message is clear: with guns, we are citizens; without them, we are subjects.

The gun buyback program is set to begin in the next month to month and a half, following the recent expenditures of $67 million. Concrete steps for retrieving and disposing of military-style assault weapons will be announced soon. There is a commitment to meet the timeline promised to Canadians, and preparations are well underway. The first phase of the program will launch this fall, while the second phase, which involves individual buybacks from Canadian gun owners, is scheduled for 2025. Overall, the program is on track, and there is optimism about its successful delivery.

Smuggled guns are rarely used to harm police officers, women, or in mass shootings, suicides, or unintentional injury.

We need a buyback program for the millions of assault weapons already out there. I support a mandatory buyback, but it has to be done smartly and correctly.

Gun violence has deeply affected many communities in the country. However, it is important to recognize that this situation can change, as shown by the experiences of Australia.

The government of Western Australia is facing criticism for its confusing firearms policy. A text was sent to gun owners stating that a buyback scheme for banned guns would end in August 2024. However, it was later revealed that the guns had not been banned, leading the government to advise gun owners to disregard the text. New laws will take effect in March 2025, and taxpayers may need to fund the buyback of up to 100,000 guns from approximately 95,000 gun owners. Additionally, recent regulations announced on December 23 included new firearms that will become obsolete, leaving owners without the opportunity to participate in the buyback.

Gun violence in the US has caused fear and trauma in many communities. However, it doesn't have to be like this, as shown by Australia's example.

The speakers discuss what they describe as a global rise in Islamist-linked threats and the impact of migration on security in Western countries. They begin by asserting that France’s government can no longer keep its own people safe from “potential radical Islamic terrorists that they have welcomed into their country,” and claim that France has allowed so many Middle East and North African migrants that crowds can no longer be assembled. They extend the concern to other Western nations, stating that the threat is now widespread, including in Germany, where they say many people are afraid to attend famous Christmas markets because they have become highly dangerous targets for radical Islamists. Speaker 1 provides details: since 2014, seven European Christmas markets have been attacked—three in France and four in Germany. Authorities arrested five men suspected of planning attack number eight in Germany last week; among them is described as a Muslim cleric from a German mosque who allegedly urged his followers to kill as many people as possible. The report notes that an attack in Poland on a Christmas market was foiled as well. The German case is characterized as a migrant who came from Egypt, moved to Germany, and, according to the speakers, worked at a mosque in a country they describe as tolerantly allowing him to operate there. They claim this individual began indoctrinating other Muslims to murder Christians. They describe attending a German Christmas market at this point as akin to playing Russian roulette, expressing fear that an asylum seeker living on tax dollars could drive a car into a market and kill many people. The speakers reference Australia, stating that 16 people were murdered on a beach “this past Sunday,” and claim that there is a heightened threat as their government imported tens of thousands of migrants from Muslim-majority countries, with the Muslim population purportedly doubling in a decade. They criticize Australia’s Labour Party as “left-wing,” asserting it has “the strictest gun laws in the world” yet intends to add more, while instructing viewers to light a candle as a symbolic response. They describe the current government as being led by people who are detached from reality and who prioritize political orthodoxies over people’s lives, claiming that the media feeds the same narratives and spin. Speaker 2 endorses a symbolic action: “Light a candle. Put it in their front window tonight at 06:47PM to show that light will indeed defeat darkness.” They state that a national cabinet meeting will consider a proposal to empower agencies to examine what can be done in this area. Overall, the dialogue emphasizes a narrative of increasing Islamist terrorism linked to migrant populations in Europe and Australia, argues for stronger security measures and altered political responses, and frames mainstream reporting as insufficient.

Australia's top spy, head of defense, and regulators have stated that misinformation and disinformation pose a threat to Australian democracy, with 75% of Australians concerned about their harmful impacts. The goal is to protect Australians and their democratic way of life. The speaker intends to introduce a bill in the current sitting of parliament, with the hope of passing it this year. The bill will be self-referred to a committee for parliamentary scrutiny due to its novel nature. An exposure draft was released last year, followed by wide consultation, and a decision to legislate in this area was made in January of last year.

Right now, in Canada, there are some people with bad intentions who have in their house prohibited or restricted weapons without fair licensing. But the policeman is not knocking at every door to check what is in the end of each Canadian. They are seized when they are moved, when there's an event. So it will be the same. But all of the people in possession of one of the weapon that has been banned since 2020 and will not participate in the compensation program will have an illegal gun in its position. And that's a criminal act. All right. Thank you very much, everyone.

Speaker 0: This is freaking huge. Armed civilians stopped forty eight percent of all criminal shooters last year, and the FBI was just caught massively lying about those numbers in their public reports. They recorded, get this, none of them. Zero percent. Now you and I and everyone else have seen those local heroes on social media, but rarely do we ever see these stories in mainstream media. Well, the script is about to flip because a new study by the Crime Prevention Research Center reveals that armed civilians stopped over one third of active criminal shooters between 2014 and 2024, nearly 10 times higher than FBI's reported three point seven percent average. And again, with even more Americans getting armed post 2020, just last year alone in 2024, civilians stopped half of all criminal shooters. Yet as I just stated, the FBI recorded zero of them. You might be asking, how is this possible? Well, while digging for the study, researchers found that police were often falsely credited instead of the armed civilian, which is a recording pattern that clearly increased over the last ten years. And now this begs the question, why would they work so hard to hide the significant benefits of an armed public?

Turkey, Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, China, Guatemala, Uganda, and Cambodia implemented gun control, leading to mass exterminations of millions. Australia's gun confiscation resulted in increased homicides, assaults, and armed robberies. Crime rates surged after law-abiding citizens were disarmed, contradicting the aim of safety. History warns against surrendering rights for protection, as over 56 million people were killed by oppressive governments in the 20th century.

Kamala Harris emphasizes that gun ownership will not be taken away, but reasonable gun safety laws are necessary. There is a call for responsible behavior within the community regarding gun safety. A mandatory gun buyback program is proposed, inspired by Australia’s example, to address the over 2 million assault weapons currently in the U.S. If Congress does not act within 100 days, executive action will be taken to implement comprehensive background checks and a ban on assault weapons. The discussion highlights the need for proactive measures rather than dismissing the possibility of change.

The government is prohibiting an additional 324 unique makes and models of assault-style firearms in Canada, effective immediately. These firearms can no longer be legally used, sold, or imported, and their transfer or transport is allowed only under very limited conditions. Additionally, the Canadian government has committed to exploring the possibility of donating some of these firearms to support Ukraine in its fight for democracy.
