Not possible. Australia banned guns.
Whenever gun control comes up, doesn’t the left refute any argument that the criminals will always have guns by pointing to Australia...saying gun control got rid of all guns there?

So how does this fella have an AR?
Can someone with some experience tell me why most of the time I see someone dressed up like this they are wearing gloves? Is there a purpose or is just “baddies” fasbion? I’d think they’d get in the way.
“bad ass fashion” Damn auto spell.
They lie. You can have guns in Australia . They do require permits to have them though.
“I could easily see someone trying to escape the “prank†and running into the path of an oncoming bus, or someone having a heart attack. This is not a well thought out prank.”
The press would say they were killed by their own prejudice. Then they’d start the slogan “Islamophobia kills.”
Why weren’t they jailed after the first one? Jail their parents, too, for raising dumbashes.
My first thought as well - haven’t we been told that the Aussies have a wildly successful gun ban???
Is there video of the shoot?
Good job, buddy, but it`s center mass UPPER torso!

Hey, $h_t happens.
Yep, far as I can tell this is FAKE
Blog post only, no news stations reporting. Also there is this... Where the stupid prankster talks about how he got news he was being reported as shot and was asked by a reporter for confirmation....

Having said that, though, just to correct a common misconception, no, guns are not banned in Australia. This is the website of my local gun shop.
You have to be licenced, and licences for more than basic non-semi-automatic rifles and shotguns are harder to get than basic gun licences, and we do have universal registration, along with a lot of other petty rules, but the idea that there is a ban is a myth pushed my certain groups and part of the media, especially in the US.
Owning an AR would require a higher level licence - possible, but it takes some work.
Thanks for the info. Australia is being held up as an example of complete gun eradication over here.
Security detail-—bodyguard in a parking garage? Employer in an armored chassis?
Unconfirmed chatter: “The man they pranked is reported to be Scotty Southam a weapons consultant for the military”
It’s a hoax, he didn’t get shot.
