PS If there is a lot of misinformation about guns in Australia, where would one go to get the real scoop?
If I could take my guns and ammo to Australia, I might seriously consider moving there.
I had seven Australian liberty visits cancelled by when I was on active duty. I am under the impression that Australia is a wonderful place to live and work.
Honestly, I don't know. Anti gun sentiment is a very big deal in Australia and most of us who do support gun rights stay pretty quiet about it, because if the gun control nuts get agitated, it makes us more likely to lose even the rights we still have. We work quietly.

If gun rights matter to you, I wouldn't move here. While guns aren't banned, we have a lot of dumb laws to deal with. You can't own many. And we do have universal licencing and registration. And while there are a lot of guns you can own, there are a lot you can't (and the reasons behind that don't always make sense - often it just seems because it "looked scary" without regard to power or anything like that) and even if it's legal, importing guns can be really hard work because Customs will make it far more difficult than they are supposed to.

In a lot of ways it is. But gun rights are not part of that. To me, for whom a gun is just a tool to have available, I can live with them - but I wouldn't want to be any sort of 'enthusiast' or collector.
