Hopefully for the Aussies things will cool off and start to move back towards sanity over time with the right political influences. Canada had a long guns registry up until about 4 or 5 months ago that kept track of (rather, tried to keep track of) all the non-restricted firearms in the country (bolt-actions, hunting shotguns, semis over a certain length, ect.) and it was a huge waste of money. The conservative government said they'd cut it and when they won the majority in parliament and they did, even after 20-odd years of wasteful spending by previous governments.
I'm not looking forwards to moving to Aussie in February...
