Before the American Revolution, judges were put in place (and paid) by the Crown. The judges would naturally give favored rulings to the king.

Patriots (also known as terrorists) wanted to get rid of the judges, so they devised a plan. A small group of masked men would ride to a judge's house at night, and knock on his door. When he responded, the men would tell the judge, basically, that he was working for the wrong side, and then ask him to kindly step down from his position. As they turned to leave, a much larger group of men a little further down the road, would all fire their guns into the air. The next day, the judge would resign.

I know you don't have guns. But you need to somehow convince the police they are working for the wrong team, and that there will be consequences. Someone needs to write up a concise manifesto and post it everywhere. Something that will fit on one page or poster, something that can be read quickly and gets to the point.. Perhaps leave space for "anonymous" signatures.

Maybe you already have, I don't know. But if you think, "Someone should do this," remember that you are someone.

(Fwiw, most of the county sheriffs in the state where I live have said they won't enforce the bullshit.)

New University of Sydney figures on gun ownership in Australia:

Australian civilians now own more than 3.5 million registered firearms, an average of four for each licensed gun owner.

The proportion of Australians who hold a gun licence has fallen by 48 percent since 1997.

The proportion of Australian households with a firearm has fallen by 75 percent in recent decades.

Data indicates that people who already own guns have bought more rather than an increase in new gun owners.

>people who already own guns have bought more rather than an increase in new gun owners.

If I were an unarmed aussie, I would be discreetly looking for friends with a certain passion.

there are thousands of guns buried around the country. Plus with our large border, being an island guns are easy to get.

DOMESTIC ILLICIT FIREARMS MARKETBased on available data, the ACIC.

Based on available data, the ACIC conservatively estimates there are 260,000 firearms (250,000 longarms and 10,000 handguns) in the domestic illicit market. This estimate is based on a range of intelligence sources, including firearm importation figures and seizure trends over time.

The exact extent of the Australian illicit firearms market cannot be determined as no historical data is available on its size prior to the implementation of the National Firearms Agreement (NFA) of 1996. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)

estimates the global illicit market contains the equivalent of approximately 10 to 20 per cent of the number of firearms in the licit market.1 If this ratio is applied to Australia’s illicit firearm market, it would contain somewhere between 300,000 and 600,000 firearms.

I don't own any myself. Guns kill people.
