In Victoria, Australia, our Premier (equivalent to Governor) traveled across the city for lengthy dictator-style press conferences every single day for more than two months. Meanwhile, the rest of us were only permitted to leave home for 1 hour per day and had to stay within 3 miles of our registered address, with an 8pm curfew. Leftists all over the world consider themselves above the law and above the people.
Doesn't have to make sense, just has to give them power and control. We have ongoing police drone and helicopter patrols over private property to ensure people are "doing the right thing" in their own homes and the fines for non-compliance will wipe out most ordinary people's savings (for example, one instance of being unmasked in public will cost you over $1600).
Oh, by the way, there hasn't been a single recorded COVID case in this state for over two weeks. Not one. If you give them the power THEY WILL NOT STOP.
You're right re gun laws - that cost us our ability to fight back - but I also think it runs deeper. We've never fought for our freedom the same way Americans did. We're still subjects of the Queen and we've never had a war on home soil. It makes a difference in the whole national attitude - we were very comfortable for a long time and the cost of that was abstract to most people. Therefore, they don't appreciate what it takes to retain comfort and freedom, or that the wolf is always at the door.

When we take the country back we need to sanction your government into Patriotic compliance.
We'll welcome it. They have essentially shut down all our avenues of protest and resistance. I expect I'll need a US VPN to access this site soon.
For real fren. What they're doing to you and your citizenry is patent Communism. We have to end this crazy shit. Hang in there.
