“I was a bit horrified by that,” Leyonhjelm told NRA News in response to Clinton’s comments. “I don’t think Australia is a model for the United States on gun control at all.”
He said the country’s strict gun control did not lessen crime but instead they saw an increase. He said the mandatory gun buyback program made citizens less safe. “It also removed the right to own a gun in any state in Australia for self-defense. We are a nation of victims,” Leyonhjelm told the publication. “You cannot own a gun for self-defense.”
“It doesn’t matter what the circumstances. It doesn’t matter how big the threat. You cannot defend yourself.” |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
