"Buying a firearm is as easy as buying a packet of cigarettes if you have the right connections,"

And of course law abiding Aussies don't have the right connections, big surprise.

Smuggling one type of contraband, drugs, is not much different from another- guns. If one can be slipped in, the other is no problem, either.

The G-Man... Gordon Liddy... covered this on his show years ago. Had a Merchant Mariner on who said one of his shipmates regularly took orders for guns on the first trip in, then delivered them on the second trip.

I stand corrected.

The last time I was given that information was when my son traveled over there.

Oh, and I am positively HAPPY AND GLEEFUL that there's a thriving black market in weapons in Australia. It gives me hope for the US if and when Hillary gets in, names Schumer as Attorney General, and they try a gun confiscation.

But would you like those prices?
