Australian Gun Owners in ‘Fight For Our Lives,’ As PM Pushes More Restrictions
https://www.ammoland.com/2026/01/australian-gun-owners-in-fight-for-our-lives-as-pm-pushes-more-restrictions/

While the Albanese government is working on this gun control scheme, in an essay published by the Fair Observer, writer Sonali Kolhatkar exhibits a disdain for white male gun owning Americans whom she identifies as “disproportionately right-wing,” blaming them and the National Rifle Association for having a “stranglehold” over this country’s political system.

Actually, the roadblock she deliberately fails to mention in her 1,457-word essay—the one element which makes Australian gun control impossible in the U.S.—isn’t the NRA, but the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and similar protections in a majority of state constitutions.

She is a super fake liar. Says she grew up on a farm 15-20 minutes west of me. Uhhh, no. That was her grandparents farm which they sold off to Hygrades decades ago. Thete is a little house on a small lot left which she claims is hrs. But she lives in Lansing in a donors condo. She obnoxiously pretends to support the farmers here in the area then votes for policies that hurt them directly. We have got to get her out of here !
