How did this effort turn out in Australia?

650,000 guns destroyed.

#63: In the photo of the Australian gun buyback, I see junk, museum pieces, single shot shotguns, bolt action varmint shooters, and some multiple load shotguns. No handguns. No AK’s. NO SKS’s. No M16’s. No Bren guns.

Australia has a much more homogeneous population which makes it easier to control, like in Japan. Also, it doesn’t have the social problems we do re criminal/drug/ethnic gangs, lots of drug-added wackos, occult believers, and doomsday cults (Heavens Gate, Jonestown (Marxist), Branch Dravidians/Waco); White supremacists, black supremacists, Hispanic irredentists, and at one time the American Indian Movement -aided and abetted by Cuba and Moscow.

Oh, I forgot our latest import, Islamic jihadists and their domestic recruits.

We have some serious problems and until they are addressed and realistically resolved, personal ownership of a gun/weapon is going to be a fact of life. We have family and friends to protect, esp. our children.

Otherwise, under Cuomo/Feinstein, it will become a country of blackmarket weapons and shootouts. If that is what they want in order to seize control of American citizen rights, then they have destroyed the Constitution.

As POGO once said, “We have seen the enemy and it is us!”

And most of those are just ordinary hunting rifles.

Australia does not have explicit freedom of speech in any constitutional or statutory declaration of rights.

Shall we try that to reduce violence too?
