A few years ago, a friend of mine inspired me by his amazing collection (for an aussie) of rifles and handguns. He kept prodding me until I got my license. Now I have a reasonable collection myself. Since then, I've helped/encouraged about 5 people to get licensed. Hopefully each of them will...

I guess you guys forgot that the last 3 star wars movies were made here :) By the way - there is a difference between being charged and being "locked up". If it goes that far, I'm sure that a jury would agree with the comments posted here and return a verdict of not guilty. After several...

Actually it was the right wing party that was responsible for the increased gun laws here.

i have an omega seamaster that i never take off. It's the only watch that has survived on my wrist for more than a few years. if i thought that shooting would damage it then i would try to find an even stronger watch. when I read "can recoil damage..." i was expecting something along the...
