    Very interesting debate on Austrialian Firearm laws (or lack of debate)

    Some very good points raised I gotta say. They even have an open comments section so feel free to educate my Australian brethren haha.

    Check out this bit of awesome from the other side of the debate.

    https://www.afp.com/en/news/15/austr...after-massacre

    Apparently everyone is in danger because licensed gun owners can own more than one firearm and unlicensed people are allowed to shoot under supervision at gun clubs.

    Another interesting note is that all the guns destroyed in the great australian gun buy back have since been replaced by new firearms thereby bringing the total number to what it was before Howard did his thing.

    It's amost like the achieve nothing positive.

    Still don't understand why they didn't have an inquest. They missed a vital opportunity to evaluate emergency response times, training effectiveness etc. Its just not the same if the powers that be can hide some of the facts that might blemish themselves. Easier to assume gun owner persecution will equal public safety.

    Fit & proper Australian? Seems like a bit of an oxymoron to me.

    Right on Eeebees. I need to introduce you to my bunny loving, tree hugging, trendy lefty father in law. He reckons firearms are an evil to be purged from society........ I take great delight in greeting him at the door with shotgun in hand and having a mass cleaning whenever he comes.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Looks like the guy shot in Sydney was retaliation for someone shot 2 weeks ago. Tighter gun laws are sure to fix the problem!

    Comparing firearms to vehicles is a very flawed argument.

    Absolutely agree. Does nothing but create a large circle jerk.
