How does arming civilian and other groups improve public safety? This spurious argument is used to justify the abhorrent gun culture in the United States. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Treating Jewish people differently to any other Australian is racist. It’s as simple and as difficult as that. #Bondi www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This story is making me crazy, I can't believe they're actually considering this. Does anyone think this is getting at the root of preventing further attacks?

“Chris Minns said his govt is “actively” considering whether a Jewish security group should be armed in the wake of the Bondi terror attack, as he confirms police will carry long-arm rifles for the first time at Sydney’s major New Year’s Eve event.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #auspol.

If any group in our community needs armed protection they must get it and it must be done by the state and democratically controlled. Any (ANY!) form of sectarian or ethnic militia is a road to madness imho. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Can you believe it? NSW 2025. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Meanwhile, the NSW government is considering arming a shadowy Jewish security organisation in NSW 🙄 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

In absolutely no way, shape or form should anything resembling or approaching a private militia be allowed to operate in Australia with any government imprimatur. This is kicked in the head by a donkey stuff www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

How bad an idea this is cannot be overstated

In a fortnight overrun with spectacularly dumb ideas, you have to work REALLY hard to come up with the dumbest yet…

Somewhat undermining changes to gun laws if select groups are going to be given *more* access to firearms. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If politicians are going to let armed genocidal maniacs loose on our streets, then they can provide me with a gun so I can protect my family from them.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... I think Minns has gone mad. CSG consists of former IDF, many of whom may be war criminals. He wants to also use the army to protect Jewish place of worship. These measures would only incite greater tensions in the NSW community. He has the NSW police force.

What could possibly go wrong? It is starting (or rather continuing) to feel like an Israeli hostile takeover is in progress. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Total Tool and fuckwit. NSW Labor’s best and brightest on display. Sounds a bit like an armed militia, however you spin it. Will I wake up tomorrow and read “Minns government considering allowing Jewish community automatic weapons” #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... What evil rubbish. WE need less guns in our society not more. The best why to stop anti-Jewish violence is to stop the Genocide in Gaza

Looking forward to my new gun when Minns extends plan to arm all groups at risk. With men murdering 10 women this month & 73 femicides, 26 kids murdered, 7000 F&DV hospital admissions in '25, it's hard to argue that women aren't in existential danger www.theguardian.com/austra

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... This is crazy. Will any community be able to have an armed militia? If any community feels the need special security, perhaps they could pay for more police as required.

Can we please have fewer guns in the community not more? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #auspol #gunviolence
