Globalize the Second Amendment

On the first day of Hannukah, 2025, the world witnessed another needless, avoidable tragedy, this time an Islamic mass shooting, which erupted on the coast of Bondi Beach, Australia. 

Twenty-two lives were gunned down mercilessly by a father-son duo of destruction, radical militants who had immigrated to the Land Down Under not looking for a better life, but committed to taking others in the furtherance of jihad.

Both tragic and outrageous, Western leaders have been welcoming a massive invasion of violent third-world peasants with no interest in integrating into their host countries.

As expected, pundits and commentators pointed out at great length the threats posed by mass immigration and Islam. All of those arguments are well and good. The biased reporting is a major part of the problem, as well.

Three weeks after that horrific event, one of the main reasons for this avoidable massacre remains relatively untouched: gun control. Worse yet, there are few on the political right around the world pushing for a massive restoration of gun rights for all people.

We should celebrate the brave resident who thwarted the mass murderers, putting his own life at risk to stop the carnage. Imagine if he had possessed a firearm to take down those bloody assailants! Imagine if those celebrants at Bondi Beach had had a gun!

However …

Since 1996, the Land Down Under has gone under when it comes to respecting the natural rights. The government enforced a massive gun confiscation program nearly thirty years ago, masquerading as a so-called gun buyback proposal. There was nothing voluntary about it, of course. One mass shooting, and the government induced everyday Aussies to lose their freaking minds, conning them into giving up their guns. 

Gun control is not just a bad policy; based on the latest horrific mass shooting, it’s just plain evil. Any country, or rather any government that thinks it’s okay to take away a people’s firearms, that government is automatically illegitimate, and our American leaders should not resist stating that fact.

Granted, most thinkers (?) and commentators around the world scoff at the Second Amendment and fear massive gun violence in their countries. Liberal pundits like Piers Morgan excoriated conservatives like Alex Jones and Ben Shapiro over their resistance to gun control and their insistence on maintaining the right to keep and bear arms in the United States. Gun-control advocates love to point at the statistics, shooting off the number of gun-related deaths in the United States compared to other countries. Of course, many of the statistics are doctored and distorted, or they fail to indicate that many gun deaths are suicide related or occur in urban areas with little enforcement of the law. The problem is never the guns, but it’s the people who are misusing the firearms, and the government entities that refuse to prosecute criminals. 

One can only hope that a horrid mass shooting like what happened in Australia would be just the discharge needed for people around the world to give up their inherent or indoctrinated aversion to firearms. 

There’s been a lot of talk about globalizing the intifada.  Perhaps the United States should use its soft political power and cultural heft to globalize the Second Amendment and start pressuring Western governments to respect the natural rights of their citizens to keep and bear arms. 

It’s an outrage that civilized countries still engage in such an uncivilized practice, i.e., not allowing law-abiding citizens to carry firearms to protect themselves, and not just to protect themselves from burglars and terrorists, but to protect themselves from tyrannical governments! 

Is there any hope that we will see a worldwide push to normalize the right to carry in other countries? I have hope. 

In Israel, the government has begun relaxing gun control and gun permit laws so that more civilians can carry firearms. It’s a matter of necessity in the wake of October 7th. Israel went in the right direction, while sadly, we see other Western democracies still not learning the lesson. 

Another country, Argentina, has risen as a bastion of Hope, Liberty, and respect for natural rights. President and Trump ally Javier Milei has implemented numerous successful reforms in the economic sphere, but few are mentioning his efforts to expand Argentines’ right to carry firearms. 

The Czech Republic recently enshrined in its own constitution the right for citizens to carry firearms for self-defense. To this day, Switzerland enjoys some of the lowest crime rates in the world because every citizen every able-bodied male is given a firearm because they are required to serve. Let us not forget the massive protest in Hong Kong before the Chinese Communist Party clamped down once and for all on that special administrative region. In 2019, many Hong Kongers were standing in the streets protesting, holding signs that said they needed a Second Amendment! 

President Trump has done well in calling out the cultural collapse in Europe and excoriating Canada’s ruthless dependence on our trade at the expense of our manufacturers. Canada is turning into a frozen Stalinist dystopia, not just with the crackdowns on freedom of speech and the expansion of euthanasia, but also with an aggressive effort to take away the firearms of its own citizens.

Government tyranny has become the norm in the United Kingdom, where people are arrested for offensive memes and telling the truth about Islam. People have also been arrested in Australia for telling the truth about homosexuality, as well as confronting gender ideology in general, and the dangers of mass immigration. 

They don’t honor their rights, and they don’t even protect their citizens from mass violence!

President Trump must pressure other countries and their leaders to allow their citizens to purchase weapons and carry them without having to beg the government for a permit or engage in routine registration practices

Americans should thank God every day that our Founding Fathers had the foresight to protect this vital natural right to keep and bear arms. It’s time for more countries to wake up to the realities of the evil that lurks in the hearts of men, and stop depending on the government to protect them, when in too many cases they not only cannot, but will not. 

Every country needs a Second Amendment, and every country needs to respect and restore the natural rights of its citizens to keep and bear arms.

Editor’s Note: The radical left will stop at nothing to enact their radical gun control agenda and strip us of our Second Amendment rights.
