Australia Gun Control

Hillary... Australia’s confiscation of firearms via a national buyback provides “a good example” for how other countries responded to mass shootings and she said it is “worth looking at” when considering gun policy in the U.S.

Australia, the model of gun control that the left says we should emulate. Take a look at this video and let it sink in how helpless these folks are against this nut with a knife. Just let it sink in, then think about WHO we decide to elect in November, and think about what THEY will do to our RIGHTS to be armed for self defense.

yep the Aussies have gun control alright - in the sense that no one is allowed to defend themselves with firearms.
sounds like where our society is headed - everything is alright until something happens but instead of clamoring for a fire extinguisher in a fire we try to eliminate the need for fire ::)

You just have to be like Crocodile Dundee and carry a bigger knife than the other guy.

I met more than a few Aussies locally and on another gun forum and if you think control propaganda, I mean facts, is bad here, you should read the stuff there.  One of the guys runs an Aussie gun board and I can usually count on him for backup info to counter friends/people who parrot the propaganda saying that Aussie gun control is working so well.

Well, gun deaths may have done down gradually (at least I think the stats showed that initially, not sure on recent trendings), but other stuff like violent crime, assaults, stabbings, beaten with bats, etc have gone WAY up.  Well, criminals don't follow the laws and will find a way.  Their self-defense laws, or laws that effectively handcuff citizens to basically make them unable to lawfully defend themselves are also ridiculous. 

I'll try to remember to post links here when I get home.

Read this thread about Australian guns. Keep this in mind and keep reposting it whenever Australia comes up.

I met a guy from Australia last week and took him to the range yesterday.  He said you can't own any semi-autos or pump shotguns where he lives and it's very difficult to get a permit to own any firearm.  So I let him shoot my AR15 and M1, and tried a few different things at the shooting fair.
