This is heart-wrenching and important. And kind of personal (my bride grew up 2 blocks south of Annunciation, went to school & mass there; I’ve attended some services and weddings there some decades ago).

Scene: A meeting room in #NSW.

#Minns is crowing about how well the #HeavilyArmedPolice with #AssaultRifles (called “long guns” by the state govt & compliant media) did in keeping people safe during #Sydney’s big #CrackerNight.

Police Commissioner smiles.

“At least we can stop issuing assault rifles & machine guns now” says Minns.

“I don’t think so. Look how safe last night was! It was the weapons. I think we should issue more!”

“Okay”

#Minns & the #NSW #Police saying people will feel #safer with police carrying #machineguns & #assaultrifles during #NewYearsEve sounds like echoes of #NRA reasoning.

"If the #Bondi #terrorists had seen heavily armed police, they wouldn't have gone ahead with their attack".

**Канада предлагает запрещённое оружие Украине — Associated Press**

Канада предложила передать Украине сотни видов оружия, запрещённых для гражданского использования, с целью перенаправить их для военных нужд.

Правительство Канады планирует расширить свой запрет 2020 года на определённые марки и модели огнестрельного оружия, добавив 324 штурмовые винтовки в список. Министр общественной безопасности Доминик Леблан заявил: «Эти оружия должны находиться на поле боя, а не в руках охотников или спортивных стрелков».

Натали Прово, выжившая в стрельбе 1989 года в Политехническом университете Монреаля, выразила гордость тем, что эти оружия теперь будут использованы по назначению. Среди недавно запрещённых видов оружия — полуавтоматическая винтовка Ruger Mini-14, печально известная тем, что она использовалась в атаке, в результате которой погибли 14 женщин.

Министр обороны Канады Билл Блэр подтвердил, что Оттава связалась с украинскими властями, которые выразили интерес к некоторым из этих оружий.

Canada has proposed transferring banned firearms, including assault rifles, to Ukraine. The government plans to expand its 2020 ban on specific firearms by adding 324 models, including the Ruger Mini-14 rifle, which was infamously used in a 1989 mass shooting. These weapons are being considered for military use in Ukraine, with Ukrainian authorities expressing interest. Canadian officials argue this is a way to ensure these weapons are used appropriately, in contrast to civilian usether details, you can visit the [Ukrainian
