Is the US any different? Many states ban so-called assault weapons based on looks, not function.

Australia Bans Rifles That LOOK Like “Assault Rifles”

Headline should be: "Australia Bans Rifles That Frighten Police”

Now that they have a Muslim problem, you’d think the Australians would be re-thinking this hoplophobic nonsense.

Maybe they should also ban muslims who who look like terrorists, terrorists who look like muslims, criminals who look like criminals, etc.

Just to provide some balance.

The RCMP up here tried the same thing with the Ruger 10/22 rifle magazine! They reclassified the non-restricted magazine because it *COULD* fit a pistol, This went against the actual wording of the regulation, but they did it anyway.

NEVER let regulations be enacted by anything other than a duly elected body, because committees WILL overstep their bounds. Every. Single. Time.

if any car ‘looks like another car that was ever used in a deadly crash’ that car shall from hence forth be banned because ‘logic’ dictates that items that merely look like other items that may or may not have be3n used in crimes, are dangerous!

We know several families with adult children, who have been living and working in OZ for years and some decades.

Many of those in OZ are selling their businesses or quitting jobs to return.

Why?

OZ is heading down the PC suicidal road that Britain has been on since the end of WWII.

So are they okay with a Ruger mini? It does not look like a scary gun.

Scary looking guns are a no-no.

Next they’ll be banning oil slicks that look like the Virgin (until Jesus’s birth) Mary.

just read the same at Washington EXAMINER.

They are taking a poll. You can leave the page with all suggestions for gun control laws blank and it will accept it. You do have to leave an email address and your name.
