Australia and gun laws ping.

Your erudite and reasoned comments are always welcome.

This honestly doesn't have much to do with Australian gun laws from what I'm reading. It's a smuggling issue - the guns were illegally imported. Judging by the photo and the brief description of the weapons in the article, they could have been imported legally. So smuggling issue, not a gun law issue as such.

The silencers, I'm not sure about - I've never wanted to own a silencer so I've never really paid much attention to the laws on those. I know they've been relaxed recently in at least parts of the country, but it's possible the ones seized in these raids may still be restricted under the gun laws.
