    Anti-gun hysteria continues in Australia

    For the past few weeks, all police agencies in the country have been running a 'blitz' on illegal firearms, as well as increasing safe storage checks on firearms owners, because criminals might break in and steal them :rolleyes: Earlier this week, a (sadly) popular radio station had an...

    Obama wants Australian style gun laws

    This crap has been plastered all over our news media today. "America's shame" seems to be the popular comment of the day :rolleyes: Some key comments. People like this are the reason this country has turned to sh!t.

    Australian gun ownership increasing

    Just another update from me. Gun ownership in Australia is increasing, but self-defence still seems to be out of the question. Quote from a sporting shooter, who also helps run a gun club. It's refreshing to hear that more people are being involved in the sport, but we still have a long...

    Gun amnesty in Tasmania

    I've got no words. The fear mongering and paranoia over firearms here is just ridiculous. Fearful gun owners turn in firearms "There was a spike in gun theft around the state last year, as criminals raided homes holding firearms." It's not like that firearms registry with everyone's names...

    Man cleared over 'self-defence' shooting (Australia)

    This is an absolute joke. I'm all for self-defence, but this was murder. You can shoot an unarmed person who's running away, including twice to the head when they're down, but if you shoot or use what's deemed unreasonable force on a home invader, you will lose your firearms and likely be...

    China railway station stabbings leave 28 dead, 113 wounded

    I don't know what to say about this. Just shocking.... In China, the only way a citizen can own a firearm is if they apply for a hunting permit, which apparently isn't common. Not to take away from this tragedy, but if they had been able to defend themselves it would probably have gone very...

    Couple killed in home - firearms were locked in safe

    This happened in my city here in Australia. A couple were stabbed and beaten to death in their home recently. A man has been arrested and some reports have suggested it was a robbery. The sad part is the homeowner owned firearms, but presumably was complying with the storage laws requiring the...

    One in six Australian women raped, putting Australia way above world average

    Yet pepper spray and tasers are still classed as prohibited weapons in Australia :rolleyes: Australia came third in the worldwide study, with 16.4% of Australian women being raped by someone other than their partner. Note that 'sexual assault' is the Australian term for rape. This is taken...

    Introduction: New member from Australia

    Hi all, I couldn't find an introduction section so I hope it's okay to introduce myself here. As some of you may know, Australia has strict firearms laws, draconian even. I'm quite envious of the freedoms you guys enjoy in the U.S. so I thought I'd join up and get to know everyone, and of...
