The gun laws here really suck, and its the crims using smuggled in handguns (from Asian and Lebanese gangs), the Glock and Norinco .45s are most common. All this gets bad press, and the public are fed shit from a one sided media, and the government listening to the anti-gun wankers who say the problem can be solved by a total ban of handguns.
I feel its gonna get worse, not better, and one day in Australia only Crims, Police and the Defence Force will have them, honest citizens will have nothing but hollow memories. We are fighting for our rights, but its like pissing into the wind.
What started the last big push was back in 96 when a bloke named Martin Bryant shot 35 people in Port Arthur, Tasmania withan SKS and a AR-15. One f**kwhit has ruined it all for all of us, and the police road on the emotions of the general public, who were smothered in anti-gun press to pass these unreal and totally stupid laws.
Meanwhile guncrime in Australia is on the rise. Did the laws work? NO!!
But back to the ARs, I really honestly miss that rifle, and now I hear the gunlaws in Canada have gone insane too. Keep and fight for your rights Lads, and again don't let what happened here happen there.
