For the Aussie or UK members or any other countries.
When there was registration, licensing (and later on confiscation or firearms turn in). What was the procedure? Was there people or groups that refused to register? Was there people or groups that refused to turn in firearms?
What led to the registration and then licensing? Was there registration first?
Or both at once? Was ammo regulated? In what way. Was there ever a time when there was no registration or licensing required?
Registration
When was registration first required?
What needed to be registered?
What was the compliance rate?
After the registration and if some firearms were banned/prohibited/restricted...
Was there door to door confiscation?
Was there neighbor spying on neighbor (giving up their neighbors for a reward)?
What method were the firearms collected?
Was there a collection point for firearms?
The reason why I'm asking these questions is because given the climate in the U.S. lately, it might be educational for some of us to see how it was done in other countries in hopes of perhaps keeping it from happening here. Also I study gun control laws and like to know of your particular experiences when these laws can into effect.
