A three-month amnesty in Australia has seen more than 51,000 banned guns surrendered to authorities.
A homemade machine gun, a rocket launcher and a mini-pistol were among the weapons handed in. They will now all be destroyed.
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said that maintaining strict gun laws is key to preventing a Las Vegas-style mass shooting in the country.
"We've seen the shocking tragedy in Las Vegas," he said.
"This killer there had a collection of semi-automatic weapons, which a person in his position would simply not be able to acquire in Australia."
Semi-automatic rifles and guns were outlawed in Australia in 1996 after the Port Arthur massacre - the country's deadliest mass shooting.
Thirty-five people were killed and 23 wounded when lone wolf Martin Bryant, 28, opened fire at a former convict colony in southeastern Tasmania.
The shooting reshaped Australia's gun laws, and no mass shootings have occurred in the country since the ban.

Liberal insanity.
An armed populace are citizens, and unarmed populace are slaves.
Yet.
Gun control advocates use Australia as a blueprint for the success of control. What all of them omit is the increase of illegal weapons used during a crime including home invasions.
We have Australians on this forum who claim that it's not really all THAT hard to get "prohibited" weapons.
Then we have the Prime Minister say this ...
Hmmmm ...
Restriction rules for owning a private side arm makes the owner needing to protect himself, family or property, rendered useless and harmless leaving the door wide open for any and all evil doers to enter.

Wild hogs, feral dogs, feral cats, and other varmints are out of control. A recent series of articles here on FR highlight the problems of rural citizens getting adequate weapons to control them.

“...Democrats Dream of the day they can make the whole country slaves...”

***What all of them omit is the increase of illegal weapons***
Like this little jewel...
“A homemade machine gun,”
I understand crimes like assaults, burglaries and rapes have been epidemic since. Is that a fair statement?
Actually, that statement is a lie the media tells itself. They’ve actually had two mass shootings since the ban.
