I think it's an obsession of keeping rights,,,,,, The right to own a gun is worth mentioning.

What types of laws do you all have Down Under? We have more than enough laws on the books here but that doesn't stop the anti gun crowd from trying for additional, more restrictive laws. Some states have conceal carry permits that are fairly easy to obtain while others make it very difficult ,or impossible to obtain.It seems, as usual in this country, there can be no happy medium. Everyone wants it their way and nothing else. Thats why nothing gets done in Congress. The price of ammo has doubled in the past few years, but so has gas. Me, I'll just hang on to what I have and buy ammo at gun shows where there is no paper trail and let the lunatics on both sides battle it out as usual.

Basicaly the general Australian is Not perrmited to own gun's anymore, little Johnny Howard saw to that(ex Prime Minister).

those that do must be licensed, and the guns are only bolt action (no semi or auto) allowed, must be in a gun safe and the ammo is not allowed to be stored on the same premisses...go figure....

as I recall. I could be mistaken? but I think not.

Sounds like you guys got what we don't want. I don't know how they collected guns from you guys, but I'm an sure it won't be pretty if they try it in the USA.Even if they managed to collect all the registered guns, they would never be able to account for all the firearms tucked away in many households all across the country.

 

['69Net]

Oh! and Hand guns!!!!!!!!! forget it....don't even bother...

and also You must be an active member of a gun club/ firing range to have a licence.(I believe)

:iamwithstupid: that's it 100% correct, if guns are outlawed only outlaws will own guns, you can have my guns, after you pry them from my cold dead corps... The right to have self defense or form a militia if conditions deem necessary, also kind of keep govt. in check to know the people can revolt & overthrow them if that became necessary... The Constitutional right to own & bare arms...

Yes We had a buy back amnesty (run by the ferral government) where they paid a reasonable price for weapons and crushed them (supposedly)

and now if You get caught with a stash? they throw the full weight of the courts at You.

and Yes We are over Governed by usless bookworm bureaucrats that would not know if their own arses were on fire.:angryfire:

Someone is buying all the gun makers.... In recent years, many top-selling brands — Remington Arms, as well as Bushmaster Firearms and DPMS, leading makers of military-style semiautomatics — have quietly passed into the hands of a single private company. It is called the Freedom Group — and it is the most powerful and mysterious force in the American commercial gun industry today.
Even within gun circles, the Freedom Group is something of an enigma. Its rise has been so swift that it has become the subject of wild speculation and grassy-knoll conspiracy theories. Behind this giant is Cerberus Capital Management, Behind Cerberus Capital Management is George Soros. While the Freedom Group leaves a positive feel, so too does the “Patriot Act” until you get past the cover. If it turns out to be the gun industry equivalent of a Trojan Horse, and Freedom Group management is embedded with anti-Second Amendment leadership, then the risk becomes that Congressional lobbying efforts to expand gun freedoms could be muted and restrictive legislation enacted as a result. There would, in essence, be no one left in American industry to fend off an attack on the second amendment...

I don't like the gooberment telling me what I can and can't do. It's already too deep into our lives as it is imo. However, I'm still somewhat surprised that I can still acquire and renew my carry license with an unregistered fire arm but I'm sure that will change. If that happens, I will just have to register one.

We're not allowed to have a full auto weapon either. You can own one but you have to do the proper paperwork for it. That's a lot tougher to obtain. It's still legal to buy and sell used semi auto pistols and revolvers without doing paperwork but not for full auto weapons. At least in Texas it's that way. Btw, the beauty of unregistered weapons is the gooberment doesn't know what you don't have....so basically, I don't own any weapons at all. All it knows is that I have a license to carry but you can also have a driver's license and not own a car.....

1baggtx is right...I had the same problem with 9mm street ammo. Also, I recently purchased 2 hand guns at the same time. Now they notify ATF & etc to investigated for terrorism ....Slowing down the approval process.....

Couldn't have said it better.. Wouldn't be a pretty sight is the nice way to put it. I keep well stocked with all mine, I do use my IJ 22 a lot for target and fun so i keep two bricks of those always alone but ive added to all my ammo in case something does happen. Taking our guns wont work, and if they change the amendment for whatever reason, were in trouble, whats next?
Look what this thread is already just mentioning guns! Your right, it wouldn't be a pretty site, and it wont stop the bad guys from buying guns or ammo.

In Maryland, private sale between owners is still supposed to be done through an FFL holder/Gun shop with the background check and waiting period for handguns. Any gun purchased new was registered to the first purchaser so if you sell your gun w/o the registration transfered and it ends up in the wrong hands,i.e. criminal or govt, they will be at your door and can confiscate your firearms. Sure you can get a lawyer and fight to get them back, but if you have any unregistered pieces, you won't get them back.They also collect a used casing, not projectile, for a perm. record, another joke and waste of resourses.Sounds like it is still pretty wide open for private transfers in Texas, hope it stays that way.

The way I understand it...gun ownership was restricted to certain groups like sporting clubs, collectors (I'm a collector ), hunters etc even before the 1997 buy back. Kinda leaves the door wide open if you ask me. And only certain types were banned like semi auto and pump action.....

I think the anti-gun folks are going in a different direction; they are going to make ammo so expensive that we can't obtain it. NY state liberals have been trying to pass a law requiring a micro stamp ID on every bullet. The environmental nazis are claiming lead bullets are contaminating groundwater and they are trying to ban lead for ammo.
Here in Erie county NY it takes up to 18 months to get a pistol permit, if you can even get one. And that is for recreation only, an unrestricted concealed carry is very difficult to get here.
Support the NRA because they fight for our 2nd ammendment rights!

You still need to be careful who you sell to here....if you sell an unregistered firearm to a felon for example it can bite you if it's used to commit a crime and it can be traced back to you. An example would be the family of the victim sues you for being the one that supplied the felon with a weapon.

Recently, Texas made it legal to carry a hand gun in your car without being licensed but it has to be out of sight. Our lawmakers have known for years that a lot of Texans carried one anyways and finally made it where we would not be breaking the law anymore :hello2:

A total gun ban is one step closer to Socialism which is one step closer to Communism
