Apparently he may have been following the law which allowed farmers to keep firearms that they had a "reason" such as hunting, target shooting, protection, collections, etc. Apparently the Australian anti-gun left was unhappy with that and a middle of the night compromise legislation (enacted with back stabbing similarities to the FUAC SAFE act) "NATIONAL FIREARMS AGREEMENT " of 2017 was passed. Now that law enforcement and Austrslian politicians have morphed "reason to own a firearm" to a "demonstated need" to own that has to be approved, more firearms are being round up from remote farmers. There was a one month "surrender for destruction" amnesty window a couple months ago. Apparently they also "audit" with unannounced searches to confirm no one has what the government determines to be a years worth of ammo. It is not suprising to see references to both Soros and Bloomberg providing the Australian anti gun left with financial support.Well, maybe he should have followed the law.
I some parts of the U.S., this could be a picture of the private stock that collector was planning to load up for transport to a gun show.
Of course we all know that the gun laws in Australia are completely absurd. And while it sucks that the guy got caught I applaud him for saying fu to the oppressive gun laws over there. But this is a prime example of where registration will get you. They wanted to perform a routine audit, unannounced, that can happen to any of us with pistol permits at any time.
According to some friends down under, there was not widespread support. Australians were divided along liberal progressive urban lines vs conservative rural lines. There were compromises in the initial bans for rural conservatives, ranchers, farmers, hunters, sportsman, collectors, etc and in predictable fashion the left just used it as a starting point, thus the new 2017 more restrictive laws and renewed gun grabs. I contend it already started here with similar political alignments and division. The left lies with self righteous indignation, way too many politicians are blood sucking leeches with little loyalty to their constituents, there is a slippery slope, there are often financial connections between anti gun movements to well funded globalists, compromise always screws those on the correct side of an issue, and it is about taking away your guns.This happened because the people of Australia wanted this to happen. They were tired of the violence associated with firearms. They never had the "Right" to gun ownership the way we do. The people allowed the Government to dictate what was going to happen to them, the people went along with these deplorable gun laws. If we are not careful, the same will happen here!
There are nearly no illegal guns in NY for the Police.I wonder what would happen if the government did an "audit" of most of their Law Enforcement officers. I wonder how many "illegal guns" they would find.
Im just curious as to how much corruption there is when it comes to firearms in Australia
Did you want Cuomo to do what he did in 2013, did I, did any of us here? The obvious answer is no. I don't know Australia very well, but we all know that New York City controls New York State and the Crooked politicians that are controlled by New York City stole our rights. I Can Only Imagine it would be somewhat similar there.This happened because the people of Australia wanted this to happen. They were tired of the violence associated with firearms.

Yep. He should have also attended meetings and wrote letters to his representatives to try and change the law. The law is the law after all and he should have followed it. I have no sympathy for him.Well, maybe he should have followed the law.
They are not protected like we are. You do understand that this takes place in a different country?Yep. He should have also attended meetings and wrote letters to his representatives to try and change the law. The law is the law after all and he should have followed it. I have no sympathy for him.
That's not the point. The point is that you always say that they or we should follow the law and if they or we don't like it they or we should change it.They are not protected like we are. You do understand that this takes place in a different country?
The right to arms is based on the right to self defense which is universal. The right to bear arms is the purest expression of individual liberty. Australians are as entitled as we to this liberty, but like most Europeans they have become drones.They are not protected like we are. You do understand that this takes place in a different country?
