The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[KevinB]

And we Canadians wonder why the US citizenry hold their Second Amendment rights so dearly. America is the product of a tyrannical government - an oafish British king - and the Founding Fathers basically said the government needs to be afraid of the people, not the other way round.

110%.

Australia has pretty much banned private ownership - to what extent I don't know.

Australia banned semi automatic rifles and pistols. However, they ended up walking back a lot of the semiauto bans, as they found the farmers needed them to control both the kangaroo and other rodent populations. So you now need a permit for a semi auto but from some friends in Australia, they aren’t really that hard to get if you don’t live in an urban area.

Compliance also in Australia seemed a little low, but they allowed people to basically remove the gas tube from AR15 style rifles to make them bolt actions. If theoretically, the gas tube hole was supposed to be plugged. But I know a bunch of people that never did that, and their firearm was still deemed in compliance.
That might be because the local law-enforcement was friendly to them.

It was also interesting as Australia as their government had no problem, giving me a permit to drive all over Australia with a ton of ammo and machine guns and suppressors and things like that.

LILLEY: Carney misses mark on gun buy-back, spends foolishly on pet project​

The government is going to contact every gun owner (heh) and provide information about surrendering their guns to the police.

Except most police departments don't seem interested and are refusing to be a part.

Maybe the government can get the military to collect the firearms? Threaten to cancel the pay raise if they don't take part.

I would refuse that order and take what comes. Consider me conscientious objector like those that wouldn't take the jab.

That's to be expected. I've watched all the Mad Max documentaries.
