Here it comes again Australians

I heard that the government down under was going to offer another amnesty for good law abiding citizens to hand in their personal guns. They are doing this because of the recent gun violence by criminals. Are they really stupid enough to think that criminals are going to hand in their tools of their livelihood? Are the citizens stupid enough to think they will be safer disarmed than they are now? Scratch

Unfortunately Paul, you are correct. They announced the intention of an amnesty for people to hand in firearms without risk of prosecution for having unlicenced guns.

One of the arguments they are using is "there are now more legally owned guns in Australia than prior to the 1996 Buy Back Amnesty" (not targeting law-abiding licenced firearms owners, yeah right !! Mad

). Another they are using is..."there are probably many people out there that have Grandpa's old unlicenced gun down in the back shed and it would be good for the community to have these guns surrendered and off the street without risk of prosecution". They are saying though that they are not targeting licenced firearms owners. I call BS on that one...it's a case of "let's hit the soft target again" as far as I am concerned.

There is no doubt in my mind that the ANTIs Mad

are behind this in some way...either that, or the relevant Govt Minister has ANTI gun leanings or sponsors.

You are 100% correct when you say criminals won't hand in any guns. They, by their very nature don't give a rat's rectum about the laws of the country. They will just laugh at any suggestion they might "do the right thing" and hand in their guns.

Paul,
Don't get he started.
I've had far too many beers to be polite.
But you are essentially correct.

And here in Missouri just yesterday we passed "Constitutional Carry" (permitless carry). That means that I no longer have to have a permit to carry concealed in Missouri. That makes 11 states out of 50 with permitless carry laws.

Australia is going one way and the US is going the other way.

Damn sorry to hear about that. I really am. Sad

We cannot believe the anti-gun crowd on anything. They think it is fair to take half of our guns now and the other half later. I would not turn in what I have for any reason. All the best...
