Found this and thought you lot would like to se it. It's the gun control "wish list" from the anti-gun lobby group "Gun Control Australia" This is an example of the sort of laws the gun grabbers want in place, I don't think American gun-grabbers are much different. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Policy The laws we need in place: Gun Regulation Authority In each jurisdiction To control guns and make gun laws A Federal authority, to take over within five years and establish uniform gun laws, based on criminologists/specialised lawyers and seconded senior police Shooters License A rigorous training and testing program over a six month period - requiring a three part 1-1/2 hour written test set by police, shooters and community groups. License valid for three years only at cost of at least $100, which will cover third party insurance & research development. Special Hunting Licence Only declared vermin may be hunted; provided an appropriate hunting course has been taken. Such a course to be conducted by the Gun Control Authority and selected hunters of long experience and high repute. Such a course will require at least three one day trips in the field under supervision. A written examination which will cover hunting ethics, ethnology and hunting malpractice's must be passed. Guarantors After passing the shooters license, an applicant must gain support from two guarantors who are of known repute and not involved in shooting activities. Guarantors must re-support if license is extended. Permit to Purchase Application to own a gun must give good justification. Self defense not acceptable. Hunting acceptable only with yearly written approval of accredited primary producer or Head Ranger of State parklands. No person shall own more than four long guns. Semi-Auto Centrefire Rifles, Shotguns & Pump Action Shotguns To be no longer imported and to be bought back by government over next five years.

All guns must be stored and transported with the gun lock operative. Within 10 years all guns to be removed from urban homes and held at 48 hours notice in selected police stations which are adapted for gun storage purposes. No guns to be kept in gun clubs. Bonafide primary producers outside of urban areas to maintain conditions set in 8.1 Age No shooting license to be issued below 18 years of age. No gun usage permissible under 17 years of age. Handguns Handguns of any nature can only be obtained for shooting at approved handgun ranges. Except for special permission granted by the Gun Regulatory Authority, a person will own a maximum of four handguns. A special handgun license will be required for handgun ownership and will not be granted until the gun control authority has ensured that the applicant has justified reason, is of excellent repute and has passed a strict regime of training and testing over a period of not less than six months. The gun control authority will have full responsibility for maintaining standards and records of handgun ownership. Security Industry The Gun Regulatory Authority will be responsible for developing a new set of credentialisation, training and testing procedures for all security guards. These will be cohesive and strict. All existing security services will be revoked and applicants will have to reapply to meet the new set of demands. Collectors A collectors license will require that Only antique guns are collected (defined as manufactured prior to 1920). The guns are disabled. Yearly inspection and strong demands on storage facilities. Members, on leaving bona fide collectors' groups, must give guns to the Gun Control Authority for sale. Orders Against Gun Owner If a Domestic Violence Order is taken out against a gun owner, The police must confiscate all guns immediately.
I would ignore it if it came in the US simple as that Keep all my current guns loaded and with me all the time. And you know what will happen if the socialist agents come for me only one person comes out.
That's the part that scares me the most. Why don't they want us to defend ourselves with guns? Isn't that legitimate?
sounds familiar I used to live in upstate NY and boy, some of that sounds familiar and is very close to laws already in place. Hope we can prevent the anti gun virus and stupidity from spreading :banghead:
Self Defense You're missing the point: They don't want you to defend yourself. Specifying the tool to be used for self defense is irrelevant. It's self defense per se that they want to outlaw. See the current UK model for more detail.
I like their definition of "antique guns". Antique 1911s, anyone? The rest of the wish list is only suitable as toilet paper. -Jack
Agenda Timeline: 2020 The announcement has been made that there are no more guns in private hands, and the liberal left is uncorking the champagne...the party lasting well into the wee hours of the morning. The 90-day amnesty is over. The guns are melting as they speak. Shangri-La has come to America at long last. In a rural farming community, somewhere in Nowhere, USA...the sounds of a door being jimmied wakens the family patriarch, who reaches for the old Model '97 riot gun that was held back during the amnesty period...stored away in reserve for the bad times that would surely follow. "Hold it right there Buckaroo." (Sound of a slide-action shotgun chambering a shell) "If you move, I WILL shoot." Miscreant who has broken into the occupied farmhouse, eyes wide...points at the short-barrelled scattergun, and responds arrogantly...defiantly: "Hey man! You ain't supposed to have that!" His eyes narrow to a slit. Steadfast patriarch lowers the muzzle toward Buckaroo's groin, and responds: "Yeah, I know...and you ain't supposed to be in my house at 4 in the mornin' with a crowbar in your hand, either." "What you gonna do, man? His eyes growing wider...a shakiness in his voice betraying his false bravado. "Well...I dunno, Bunky. I let ya go, and you turn me in for havin' this here shotgun. They come and take it from me, and probably take me to jail for bein' in violation of the new law. You come back the next night, 'cause you know that me AND the gun are gone...and that my wife and kids are here." *silence* "So" the farmer continues..."What would YOU do if you were me?"
A society that will not permit it's people to defend themselves is not a free society. Statists believe that the state should have a monopoly on the use of legal violence. Although knowing that there will always be those who prey upon the innocent, it is perfectly acceptable to a statist regime that some of it's subjects fall victim to crime. Afterall, illegal violence is illegal, and does not challenge the monopoly of the state to use legal violence.
what would you do? "Protect my family with extreme prejudice" the not so bright BG replies? Probably not, but is more than likely what the farmer, as well as more than a few of us are thinking
I see no logical reason not to hunt these humans down and kill them. They are about their absolute control of the rest of us. I find it far better to go armed and not try to control others. Just because they are either scared to death of us or just think their smarter than everybody else isn't a reason to control others.
