Australia did not confiscate guns.
Correct people voluntarily turned them in under amnesties.
No, the Australian police said, “turn in your registered guns which used to be legal until the PM decided you shouldn’t have them, or we will be at your door, you will be under arrest and in far worse trouble than if you had just complied and handed them over voluntarily.”
Own any Remington 870 shotguns? They’re illegal in Oz, now.
G’day, mate!
