Former President Barack Obama praised Australia’s gun confiscation following a mass shooting during an interview that aired Tuesday morning.
“We are unique among advanced, developed nations in tolerating, on a routine basis, gun violence in the form of shootings, mass shootings, suicides,” Obama told “CBS This Morning” co-host Nate Burleson. “In Australia, you had one mass shooting 50 years ago and they said, ‘No, we’re not doing that anymore.’ That is normally how you would expect a society to respond when your children are at risk.”
WATCH:
Australia carried out a mandatory “buy back” of semi-automatic rifles and shotguns after a 1996 mass shooting in Port Arthur. Obama previously praised Australia for its gun control laws while President, including in 2014.
“I think somehow — and there are a lot of historical reasons for this — gun ownership in this country became an ideological issue and a partisan issue in ways that it shouldn’t be,” Obama told Burleson. “It has become sort of a proxy for arguments about our culture wars. Instead of thinking about it in a very pragmatic way, we end up really arguing about identity and emotion and all kinds of stuff that does not have to do with keeping our children safe.”
President Joe Biden, Congressional Democrats, media figures and celebrities demanded a ban on so-called “assault weapons” in the wake of mass shootings in a Nashville school, a bank in Louisville and an outlet mall in Allen, Texas.

If you like your gun, you can keep your gun. Per the 2nd Amendment.
Big Mike (aka Michelle) is in the fruit juice business now. How appropriate.
MOLON LABE, BARACK.
These Communists just can’t stand the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Thomas Jefferson: “The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legitimized version of the first”.
Shut your pie hole you antiAmerican commie. We don’t give a crap what you hate about our constitution. Australia was the British empire’s penal colony and now is run like it still is. If they won’t revolt at being held hostage by their government I could care less. What I do hate is some Kenyan still badmouthing America and Americans. If you so hate it here sell your 3 houses and move to Australia so we don’t have to hear about what you think any longer. Worst president after his flunky potato head joe. The Aussies are paying the price for their stupidity during the great vax hoax when they were getting beaten by cops for not wearing a mask and put in containment centers if not vaxed. That crap will never fly here because we have guns. Go disarm your fellow blacks in Chicago bathhouse berry…see how that turns out.
The government can have my gun if they can pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
I would remind Obama that Australia started as a penal colony. The population of Australia is 25,422,788. The USA population is 340,000,000 and the USA has a Bill of Rights. Hasn’t this man done enough damage to America and the world. Do we need to hear anything else from this Manchurian candidate who should have never been president? If you say he was a good president you have a short memory and his VP was no other than 10% Joe Biden, Godfather of the Biden Crime Sydicate.
We are unique among advanced, developed nations in tolerating a government that consistently lies to us, is corrupt from top to bottom, routinely spends more than they take in, and fails to defend us from the foreign invasion taking place at our borders.
I will never sell anything back, nor hand anything over, to any government that considers themselves our rulers rather than public servants.
