The white man is committing a slow suicide.
Yep, be a good sheep and follow that goat right up the chute. I’d think there must be a few Aussies who still recall what freedom of Australia once meant.
Just goes to show its not the guns themselves they are after. They seek to control what people think.
Wonder if they are these:

“Some sci-fi props are cool, some are neat, and some are just plain corny. To qualify for cool, the prop has to strike a special nerve for me. The M41-A Pulse Rifle is such a prop. As seen in the 1986 movie “Aliens”, this prop became an instant classic. With is fully functional hero models that fired 45 cal. blanks, and blank 12 guage shot gun rounds, to the ultra-slick O.D. green shrounds, this prop is the rare weapon that seemed it could actually do what it appeared to do in the movie! Shoot! This ain't no raygun, baby!”
This is what a culture committing the murder of REASON looks like. A complete rejection of logic in the pursuit of a self destructive ideology.
As Pvt Hudson says, "What are we supposed to use? Harsh language??"
—stuff such as this always brings to mind the additon of bright red plastic trigger locks to the muskets on the full-sized reproduction of the Massachusetts coat of arms some years ago , in the state capitol,IIRC-—
Well, in full disclosure, there actually is a guy who built his own 9mm/12 gauge 'pulse rifles'...
If we ever get invaded,we will have to throw rocks at the enemy!
Some limp wristed customs “officer” probably peed himself when he opened the box and though the toys were real. Now his daddy is punishing the owner of the toys for making the little poof cry.

A computer: John Spartan, you are fined one credit for a violation of the verbal morality statute.

A computer: John Spartan, you are fined one credit . . .
Lenina Huxley: Bad language, child play, gasoline, uneducational toys, and anything spicy. Abortion is also illegal. But, then again so is pregnancy, if you don’t have a license. -——
What is Australia like politically? I always thought it was fairly conservative as countries go.
What if I built one out of paper well enough to look like the real thing and carried it down the street in some Australian city? Be thrown in jail for brandishing a fake firearm?
They are not prohibited - the Customs officials thought they might be, and directed him to get an opinion from the police. The police they are Category R firearms (in other words, they are considered realistic enough that somebody might genuinely believe them to be a weapon rather than a toy). Perfectly legal to own provided he has a Category R licence - in this case, the best one for him to get would be a Firearms Collectors licence. That would cost him $80 to apply for, and $12 a year to maintain. Provided he doesn’t have a criminal record, he should have no difficulty in getting such a licence.
Whether he should have to is another question, but that’s the situation as it is. Customs tried to categorise then as prohibited - police disagree but are treating them as replicas because they are not obviously toys.
