Sadly, no gun “rights” down under.

This surprises me. What does Crocodile Dundee hunt with? I have to wonder if they allow shotguns and rifles for hunting - just no hand guns? They are such an independent people (in my mind) I just figured they had guns.

They allow some guns. I just don’t know how hard it is to get one there.

In Australia, civilians are not allowed to possess automatic and semi-automatic firearms, self-loading and pump action shotguns, handguns with a calibre in excess of .38in with only narrow exemptions, semi-automatic handguns with a barrel length less than 120mm, and revolvers with a barrel length less than 100mm93 94 63 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102

Applicants for a gun owner’s licence in Australia are required to prove genuine reason to possess a firearm, for example, hunting, target shooting, collection, pest control, and narrow occupational uses.123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131
In law, personal protection is not a genuine reason 132 13

I’m not sure about the current availability of firearms down under. I do know that the government seized hundreds of thousands of them and torched them or cut them up for scrap. Crockie uses a nuife. There is no charter in Australia that has any gun rights afforded the citizens. I know someone out there has pictures of them doing the dirty work of destroying millions of dollars worth of weapons. Of course, the bad guys still didn’t and don’t care.
