I hope this doesnt impact Mark and Sam since they have an FFL. This is happening more and more. It is never enough; they always want more.

Oh, man, that's ridiculous!

It's interesting the government knows exactly how many weapons fit this criteria and where they are located.

So just make a wildcat that's the exact same thing. Or just literally re-name your current one. Change something by .0000001".

284 people have them, they're registered, they know each person that has one, and they're scared?

First off, they're supposed to be scared. That's the point.

After we watched what they did to their citizens the last two years, I can't imagine why the police in Australia would be nervous.

I believe they were also banning certain types of rifles, which shoot these cartridges. so, even if you change the cartridge, you still have to find an acceptable/capable rifle.

As always, they're wanting to restrict what firearms we can own because they are scared of some thing that has never happened! I would refuse to give up my firearms at all, but it being over someone else's fear is even more ridiculous! I'm so tired of police being scared when they have all the weapons at their disposal, pistol ,taser ,baton ,cuffs ,rifle etc.

Problem is in Australia here general duties coppers in your country your call them Sheriff's and deputies couldn't hit the side of a barn I have watched them train at my pistol club out of a full magazine lucky there hit a vital zone on a Target at 9 yards with one shot and they only train once a year yep you heard me right it's an absolute joke

They should post a list of all policemen that have been shot with any of those cartridges in the past , oh say 25 years. Probably very near zero.

 

[bdlesh]

It always starts with banning one thing. Sadly most people follow along with that. Then it's another and another. They don't care because " well I don't have any of that and I won't affect my"....until it does and then it's too late.

Western Australia's population is 2.7 million, with 75 per cent of people living in the Perth metropolitan area.



Are the central and western part of Australia sparsely populated?


Compared to the rest of the world, Australia is pretty much empty. Most people live on the coast (and that includes 2.6 million on the west coast) because most of the middle bit is hotter than a shearer's armpit.

Australia has a land area similar to the US with about 7% of the population. Drop you off in the right spot and you could probably walk 3000km (1800miles) and not see another human being. Bear in mind that it is kind of hot and dry out there and you would need a very large water bottle.

284 people in a population of 2.7 million, marked and tracked by the police state due to registration.

The only reason the police are scared is because they are not doing their job properly and this makes them fearful of retribution.

Australian police to get new US-built armoured vehicles that are strong enough to BULLDOZE entire homes

• Western Australian Police to receive two armoured vehicles known BearCats
• Trucks can reach speeds of up to 120km/h and bulldoze double-bricked homes
• Vehicles will cost taxpayers $1.1million and be custom-built in the United States
• BearCats used to safely approach criminals armed with firearms or explosives

Sounds familiar doesn't it?

I'm not familiar with the Australian form of government, are the scared Police the entity that writes and codifies laws in Australia?

They should have kill switches that the dealer controls, via satellite from the U.S., that cause the doors to unlock and pop open.
