The AR-15s will be secured in the group's vehicles within new locked boxes so they can be readily available at a moments notice. Police Commissioner Chris Dawson confirmed the department expects to complete the training and equipping of the AR-15s by the end of September. Dawson said, "I’ve personally seen the training underway and I’ve seen the fitout that has occurred with our mobile vehicles. I’m very pleased with the progress they’re making, so having spoken to both the trainers and those officers in the regional operations group and our tactical response group who are working very closely together on this, our milestone for September … is on target."

what the fuck is going on in Western Australia ?
Hard to know, the WA cops have taken a battering even from mainstream media, framing people, bribes ? Now they're handing them AR15s ? They need to make up their minds

Great, we're not allowed to carry butter knives and the cops have AR-15s now. Surely this will save us all from future Aloha Snackbar attacks.

I thought Asstralia didn't have mass shootings?

No that's what they tell Americans so that they will give up their guns. Australia has huge problems with gun violence because that's what fucking happens when you disarm fucking everybody.

Looks like the mass gun confiscation and draconian controls brought in following the Port Arthur psyopmass shooting didn't work to provide a safe and massacre free society after all.
Port Arthur is worth looking up, as it's before the time of most of you here. Again, an alleged shooting committed by a mental defective, in highly dubious circumstances, in the middle of nowhere and far away from prying eyes.
Another interesting fact: it happened a mere month after the Dunblane psyop massacre in the UK, which was used to foment an almost identical, albeit more stringent gun ban there. Again, in a village, in the middle of nowhere, away from prying eyes. Funny how these things always seem to happen in areas with the lowest population densities (but not as low as to make the alleged number of victims incredible.)
Alleged Port Arthur shooter Martin Bryant was a docile man of low intelligence who lived through a private income.

I went down a rabbit hole on looking at statistic from the Austrailian gov site.
crimestats.aic.gov.au
It appears that gun violence has gone down and the buy back from 1996 actually had some affect on gun massacres in the country (not one has happened since the buy back till present), though it only really appears to have affected that as apposed to actual homicide statistics. Gun bans don't seem to have affected homicide rates at all, it just seems to be the country itself becoming less violent.
Homicides have been going down heavily over the last decade but I think we can say that for most 1st world countries (quote me if I'm wrong). You could easily make assumptions based on the charts that if there are more strict gun bans then gun violence goes down with it. You could also say that if you don't have a pool in your backyard then your chances of drowning go down as well.
I'm happy to see violence go down in that county though I bout these statics can show the full colors of how a gun ban has affected law abiding citizens. Being able to protect yourself from an oppressive government is the truth that we should all agree on. Now that Australia is arming their cops for what APPEARS to be to combat gun violence is upsetting, and nothing more than another power leap for the goverment to oppress their people more.
Here is another stat I found while browsing FaceCheck

Meant to put FactCheck for the link at the bottom, not FaceCheck. XD

1. On the Sunday morning, two hours before the murders, ten of the senior managers of Port Arthur were taken to safety many miles away up the east coast,for a two day seminar with a vague agenda and no visiting speakers. Was the timing of this trip a mere coincidence?
2. Also just before the shootings the only two policemen in the region were called away on a wild goose chase. They were sent to the Coal Mine at Salt Water River, to investigate a heroin drug stash which turned out to be soap powder. This was too far for them to get to the Broad Arrow Cafe in time to be of any use. Had a policeman remained at Dunalley he would have closed the swing bridge to prevent the killer(s) from escaping from the peninsula. Did Bryant, IQ 66, organise this decoy?
3. Big Mortuary Truck. Before the massacre, a specially-built 22 person capacity mortuary truck was built. It attracted some derision at the time, but its effective use at Port Arthur was unquestioned. After the massacre it was advertised, unsuccessfully, for sale via the internet, then converted for another purpose. Without the foresight of Port Arthur, why build it? When it had proven its worth, why get rid of it? Another coincidence?
4. Martin Bryant has never been properly identified as the gunman. A young woman who ate her lunch near the gunman just before 1.30 said he had a freckled face. Graham Collyer, the wounded ex-soldier, who had the best opportunity to observe the killer, said he had a pock-marked or acned face. Neither description fits Bryant who has a beautifully smooth complexion. Graham Collyer says that it was not Bryant who shot him in the neck.
5. Illegal Photo. On 30th April the Hobart Mercury printed an old photo of Martin Bryant on the front page. This was illegal because at that stage some of the witnesses had not yet been asked to identify the killer, and the photo would have become fixed in the minds of the witnesses. When one witness was asked to describe the clothing worn by the gunman, she described the clothing on the old photo instead of what the gunman had worn. The Mercury newspaper was not prosecuted for breaking the law.
6. Mrs Wendy Scurr, nurse, tour guide and Ambulance Officer, rang the police at 1.32 pm to report the shooting. She and other medics then cared for the injured and the dead without any police protection for six and a half hours. Who ordered the armed police to stop at Tarana, where they had a barbecue? The police who arrived by boats were a stone's throw away from the main crime scene, the cafe, and they too failed to come in to see what was going on. Was this meant to increase the trauma of the survivors?
7. Three more shots were fired at Port Arthur at 6.30pm while Bryant was at Seascape. Who fired those shots?
8. Same Question - Different Answer. At a recent Forensics Seminar in Queensland where the Tasmanian Police forensic gun inspector, Gerard Dutton, gave a lecture, the first question came from Mr Ian McNiven. He asked if there was any empirical evidence to link Martin Bryant to the Broad Arrow Cafe. Sargent Dutton immediately closed the 15 minute question time and would not reply. When McNiven managed to say "I have here Graham Collyer's police statement…", Sgt Dutton threatened him with arrest and called for security agents to escort McNiven out of the building.
When Dutton was asked the same question in America by a Doctor at a seminar, he replied truthfully - "There is no empirical evidence to link Bryant to the cafe."
