Thought Aussies could at least own double barrel shotguns a la Joe Biden. Better than nothing.

Got my CCW & my guns, here in America.

Sucks to be them. No more shrimps on the barbie, I guess.

We can own a lot more than that - but a double barreled shotgun is really quite easy (covered under a standard A/B licence, which, unless they have a criminal record, can be obtained by virtually anyone),

I'm really getting rather sick of people misrepresenting Australian gun laws for propaganda purposes in other countries - it leads to honest and innocent people repeating the misrepresentations in good faith and so they spread further. Including in many cases, spreading back into Australia - the number of people I know who think guns are harder to own here than they actually are, and so never bother actually trying is astonishing. It seems to be a common tactic among the left - convince people something is illegal, even if it isn't, and you stop them exercising rights they still legally have.

And at the moment I actually think that is quite dangerous. Because the myth that Australians are disarmed makes it more likely that fifth columnist elements in Australia are likely to think they can attack people with impunity.
