Hmmm. How about they offer the bad guys free unlimited shrimp on the barbie. They'll surely turn their illegal guns in then.

Good luck, Aussies, when China invades you someday.

I thought they had already given up their guns.

They are Liberals.
If something fails it must be because you didn't do enough of it.
They really believe this.

Not enough of them until there is not legal way for anybody except government agents to won a gun it is never enough.
To: BitWielder1
But how can they be so stupid to think they are better off unarmed. They are a formerly wilderness society, like the US. Where did they ever get the idea that personal ownership of guns is a bad thing?
I guess I’m being naive, but I don’t know a lot about their history.

For some reason, it is hard for me to imagine the Australians voluntarily giving up their guns.
It just doesn't jive with the images of a hardy, individualistic, no-nonsense type people. At least those outside the big cities. Maybe it's like it is here, all the liberals live in the urban areas and the conservatives in the rural areas.

Because their intention is to take guns from the non-violent, honest people and to deliberately leave them on the hands of violent criminals.

Wilderness Society, but one of the most urbanized countries in the world. When I lived there in the late 70’s, over 90% of the population lived in 7 cities. Truth is most people are city dwellers and don’t really have a frontier attitude.

“I thought they had already given up their guns.”
Only the law abiding people gave up their guns, since then the criminals can do what ever they want. And that’s what the libs want for us in the United States. Like the old saying goes, “You can lead a liberal to logic; but, you can’t make him think.”

Turn in your guns to feel better, no other compensation. I gave Australia more credit than they deserve apparently.
To: rktman
Funny, lets confiscate all guns but we cant control the guns in the hands of criminals and they are puzzled. What a bunch of dopes
To: rktman
Funny how Legally owned Guns become Illegally owned Guns after some Politicians conspire to make up a new Law.
The Guns don’t change, but the Politicians do.
More Laws, less Freedoms. Works every time.

The Australian government knows that now, many of the hardheaded owners who refused to surrender prohibited firearms years ago, may be deceased. They're going after the relatives who now possess those guns - but are more inclined to be good, obedient sheep.
I think the estimate is grossly over-optimistic, anyway.
