Blowdarts? Replica guns? Stun guns? Good lord. I am sure that a lot of their crime is the result of unregistered blowguns. |

Good thing they got those slingshots off the streets.
Gas stations would have been robbed left and right with them otherwise!

You heard it here first - those weapons were going to get up from their inatimate state and attack the community at large. Quick, what's the best round for a zombie replica firearm??? |

Good God.....I feel so bad for our Aussie brothers having to put up with this chicken shit.
The land which once supplied the troops to land at Gallipolli, had the fierce ANZACs tearing up the front in Europe....holding the line in North Africa, standing up to the japs... Reduced to this, a nation afraid of sling shots, knives, and blowdarts. You guys need to take your nation back.... |

 Beat me to it! Seriously though, I feel bad for our brothers in the down under. How do they put up with that crap? Are bows and arrows banned down there yet? It seemed like there was still a decent sized group of people that were into bow hunting and target archery last I heard. |

The strange thing is, not all guns are banned in OZ, you can still have handguns and bolt action rifles.

True, but ownership is very severly restricted, but compare that with New Zealand next door were you can have all those along with semi auto AK-47s, AR15 and SLR's… IIRC, they even scrapped registration in NZ when the Chief of Police said it was a waste of time keeping records of legally owned guns because they don't get used in crimes… sensible country!

I hear those blowguns really, really sting.
 As for brass knuckles, they are also illegal in my home state of MD. Strange that many stores sell brass knuckles marketed as "paper weight" Poor austrailia.

There's actually nothing funny to me about that at all. The Australians have always been really close to us, through war and peace. We are both kind of the rebel colonies that made good. It's terribly sad to see them castrated like they have been.

Somehow, I feel when you get into the outback, or at least well away from the cities, you might be amazed what could come out of the woodwork.
The Aussie, especially rural Aussies don't seem like the type who would willingly give up their guns... But this is completely ridiculous, here is a case were armed uprising and revolt is called for, before you are condemned to spending your life ensconced in a soft cocoon under the supervision of the .gov....kind of like the Matrix, but without the power generating capabilities.... |

What kind of blowgun did Al Pachino use in the movie "HEAT" ????
Acutally I have heard of banks getting held up by blowguns... the thing to remember is that while they're screaming "EVERYONE ON THE GROUND NOW," that they have effectively disarmed themsleves. Wait until they're done yelling then bum rush them. |
