Almost certainly, less than 50,000 firearms were destroyed. Numerous air guns were turned in. Quite a few of the guns "turned in" were registered to their owners. Quite a few of the guns turned in were claimed by the gun shops to be sold.

It is likely that a fair number of gun parts were counted as guns.

I’m sure a civilization could fight off evil despots with air guns.

Sure. Really.

Anyone who could think this needs to get on a plane and go to Catalonia. Now.

Letting go of your guns, as an American, will result in the slavery of the human race for potentially a thousand years. We are the last defense against global oppression.

The whole concept of disarming yourself is perverted. Australians all need to put on their pink hats, because they’re a nation of hysterically anti-gun pussies. I have nothing but contempt for a people who would let themselves be so debased.

A nation of about 30 million came up with 50k guns? A nation with more dangerous creatures than anyplace else on earth came up with 50k guns?

I’d say some resistance is going on.

I suppose a Muslim takeover is imminent.

From the pictures I've seen, a substantial portion of the "firearms" turned in consist of air guns, flare guns, airsoft toys, and knives.

They're bragging that someone turned in a rocket launcher. I'd lay substantial money that rather being an operational RPG or bazooka, someone turned in a something along the lines of an empty plastic shell of one.

Reminds me of when Australia found itself short of guns, when the Japanese attacked.

But then, some people never learn.

Not to worry. Look how effective candlelight vigils, teddy bears and walks to ‘take back the night’ are.

As well as singing songs and hashtags.

Those things are amazingly effective against crime and terrorism.

Australia’s Quisling, treasonous politicians try to grab their citizens’ firearms..............to make sure Aussie people can’t defend themselves against the IslamoNazi invasion forces (socalled ‘immigrants’ ha ha~!) that the politicians are selling the country out to

(also Chinese, tho they aren’t nearly anywhere as violent or dangerous, of course..and they don’t generally go on the dole either....the huge and DANGEROUS problem is the Muslim hordes)

When was the last time there was a “mass shooting” with an air gun?

“It is likely that a fair number of gun parts were counted as guns,”

To the pussy Australian government a wood stock would be counted as a gun.
