As far as banning military cartridges we need to remember that this not the first time Australia has done this. Hence why we have the .25/303 etc.
France also went down this road and rifles such as the .222 ruger mini 14 was made to get around it.

The calibers that Australia is talking of banning may have some vague relationship with some military calibers but so what. Even the Police admit they have never had an incident where these calibers were used in a crime against
Police.

agree and you are correct. we also saw lots of..imported to get around it,of grey area things.... and the people doing said importing and selling were put up on pedistal as some sort of demigods doing all shooting community a huge favour....... you know it, I know it,they know it,the police and government know it...some of us however believe they should be shot with ball of thier own shit and not allowed to own anything more than a water pistol..... hi capacity magazines that were made for said AR15 just for one tiny EG.... the varmet shotguns for another.
