The Aussies I know, buried theirs in lock boxes.

Yep.

Before people disparage the Aussies too much, they should know that compliance to Howard's gun grab was less than 25%.

I understand that some people truly plundered the Australian turn-in program.

Once I heard a story that the government offered “bounties” for guns and accessories (such as magazines) turned in...and listed a payment of $2 apiece for ten-round SKS stripper clips. Somebody promptly showed up with two oil drums full of empty SKS stripper clips...that the government had to pay for, every one.
