Come on over. I personally like Aussies. Well, not the bogans, since we already have enough white trash.
You poor Aussie bastards are definitely in a "nanny state". You also have some of the most fucked up motorcycle laws and gear restrictions. No tinted visors? Seriously? It's like you guys live in an giant New York, for fuck's sake.
>>29505596
plz immigrate. America is the last bastion of Anglo-saxton culture. Soon europe and ausfailia will be over run with mudslimes. Get out while you while you can.
>>29505729
I live in Canberra and i also don't own my own land
why aren't you shitposting on /pol/ kangaroo fucker
>>29506266
Because I don't want too amerifat
>>29505596
Move to AZ, the climate is similar to inland Australia. Enlist in the Army Reserves to gain citizenship and go to college on the Army's dime.
Stop shitposting and we'll let you in.
>>29505596
you could always kill yourself
>>29505596
Easier to move to New Zealand. The laws there are pretty good
So many options
>>29505596
Please move here and vote for gun rights. I hate the "fuck off we're full" types, it shouldn't matter where you're born if you want to enjoy your rights. I immigrated from worst Korea and would rather die than move back
flight to new zealand is actually ten times cheaper though. imagine what you can do with that $900
>>29506207
You're still retarded. You can own guns in Canberra.
>>29506207
These aren't valid reasons for not owning guns. The problem is you are too retarded. Please don't buy a firearm you will make the rest of us look bad.
>>29505791
crossbows are regulated the same as rifles in most states of Australia.....
>>29509370
>>29505596
Fly to mexico near the border and walk over, not joking we will not stop you.
>>29505596
The fact that you are so obsessed with owning a gun is alarming.
You are the reason we need the laws in place, so people like you do not go on another mass murder spree.
>>29509379
It's ridiculous I know, crossbows are shit though so Its never really bothered me. No state has regulation on compound bows though so work that out.....
>>29509379
They are regualted even *more* than firearms here in Poland.
Listed as "especially dangerous", near impossible to get unless you give a very good reason (I know a guy who got a permit for a few of them for educational purposes since he was a pretty important member of a big reenacting group) but even then the cop reading your request might just say "no" and you can't do shit about it.
Bows are not regulated at all though, so it's not only stupid but also nonsensical. Shame I have a boner for xbows andlittle to no interest in bows.
>>29505596
I live in the liberal shithole suburbs of Melbourne
Dude you can own guns without land.... Thats what public ranges are for
>>29509630
Yeah my state in Aus flat out banned them but you can go and buy a sword or compound bow no problem and I have a bunch of firearms. All happened because some kid got shot by another kid with a crossbow, straight up retarded.

>mass murder spree
let's redefine a mass murder as 2 or more victims, so any shooting in multiples of 2 can be classified as a "mass murder spree".
pic related it's the media after passing my suggested legislation
>>29510744
For some reason my phone is glitching and pasting random sections of text into stuff I typed before.
The WFA1 is in .223 not 12G.
>>29510744
Good you can finally own a non shit tier.22
>>29510744
Just ordered myself a cz452 as well
>>29510750
Not sure if you are saying the Sportco or Slazenger are shit tier .22s but they were both the best $60 I have ever spent.
Very fun little guns.
>>29510769
Slazenger was the first rifle I shot. Dad took me out into the home paddock when I was about eight and we shot at tin cans. That's one of my favorite moments. I'd love to get a Slazenger for nostalgia's sake...
I moved from Oz to the US back in 1999. The rediculous gun laws in Oz were one of the main factors. First thing I did was buy a Makarov and an AR15. First of many funz... Cheers!
>>29510808
Yeh even though I have a heap of guns over here in Aus long term I am looking to move to the USA.
>>29510769
I've got a tube fed .22 Sportco 15, fantastic gun, I've yet to have an issue and it's ~50 years old
>>29510817
I was in the same boat. After a few years in the US I exported my guns from Oz and imported them to the US. Surprisingly easy and not uncommon. About 16 rifles and handguns in total. You can do the same if you decide to go down that path.
>>29510909
How hard is it to get citizenship anyway?
>>29510918
Are you black or a Muslim?
>>29510918
It's a process, but certainly doable. I came over on a H1-B work visa, then got my Greencard. After a few years I did the Citizenship exam and now I'm a dual Aus / US citizen. Interestingly, you can buy firearms while still on the visa. You've gotta love the 2nd Amendment!
>>29510966
Half black no Muslim
>>29510972
Green card? Was dat
>>29510769
A guy I used to know used to have a little semiauto .22lr Sportco. Neat gun.
>>29510976
You might have a chance if you convert.
>>29510986
I knew someone with a Sportco that they'd ground down the sear on.
Shit would slamfire the entire magazine - you had to field strip it to reset the trigger.
Pre-96 was the fucking best time of my life.
>>29511118
Pre 96 was awesome:
- SKS and SKKs from Horsley gun shop via SSAA magazine ads for a few hundre d bucks
- No 1 mk 3 SMLE with bayo delivered to your door for AU $ 100
- M44 Nugget with 100rnds ammo for $80 also delivered
- Original Colt 1911 45ACPs being sold in handgun clubs for around AU $300 after the IPSC circuit started switching en mass to CZ 75 clones.
Good times.
>>29505596

>>29509802
Where are your semi-autos?
>>29512346
I'm a new fan of the pens and want to go to Pittsburgh for that reason. Might end up dropping by in the next year as I'm in Canada right now. Be good to enjoy some guns and hockey.
>>29513221
Yup. That magical moment of returning to my suburban home and seeing a long package from Horsley waiting for me on the verandah.
There was another great supplier of Milsurp from QLD who advertised in the SSAA all the time, but I can't recall their name....

Went to visit my grandad one time and he was receiving a shipment from one of the catalogues he bought from.
He was batching because he had to sign for it.
It was three rifles (jungle carbine, a Fudd raifu and some sort of AR-180 knock off) and several thousand rounds of ammunition.
It was literally nearly $1,000 worth of shit in the 80's.
>>29505729
You can own the shit no one wants and none of the fun stuff you fucking retard.
No defensive handguns or semi autos .223 or .308

Nice Adler, melbfag. Fellow melbfag here, SE suburbs. Are you a member of any local clubs? Going to the gun show on saturday?
Have the stricter gun laws in AUS been linked to a reduction in crime/deaths?
I remember reading that there was an initial surge of violent crime when the law was first passed, followed by a sizeable reduction.
Also, is gun ownership way down in AUS? Or is it just that almost no one has semi-autos?
>>29505596
my friend moved to Australia because he hates america. and had a fake ass accent when he came back, with some slag girl. then when he left I guess he just left 6 bottles of empty lube bottles in where he use to sleep. he also didn't like guns very much so please keep his stupid vegan ass his name is will btw and I think he's in sydney.
>>29516032
Use english please.
>>29515947
>Also, is gun ownership way down in AUS?
ownership is higher now than it was before the '96 gun grab
we just can't own the stuff we really want (semi autos and pump shotguns)
>>29516222
Interesting.
Was the gun grab mandatory? How were some people able to keep their semis?
>>29516263
>Was the gun grab mandatory?
Do you really think anyone would have handed our guns in if it wasn't?
>>29516292
What sort of compensation did you guys get?
>>29516263
they weren't banned, just set as a category fuck-all of us can get licenced for (so effectively banned for us plebs)
farmers and professional pest shooters can get the higher category licences and have the fun stuff but they're still restricted in where they can use them
shit's fucked
>>29516292
considering this was australia i'm betting all they had to say was something to the effect of "the evil americans have guns!" and thousands of you couldn't get to the buy back fast enough
>>29516292
Yes and no. So like, there wasn't registration in some states at the time, and the ones that were you didn't have to prove you 'sold it to a mate' so there were heaps buried. At the time, there was a shortage of PVC end caps and the local LGS was selling PVC piping as 'map holders' and sold out every day. In my state in 2013 there was an amnesty were if you had an unregistered gun you could hand it in to the police or a gun shop and no harm done. I was working at the biggest gunshop in QLD at the time and on the last day there was 180 people in the shop. During that time I saw flamethrowers, a bazooka, HK93's, some AR15's, SKS, SKK's, mp44, and just heaps of other shit(all working order). Something to remember is we didn't really have import restrictions before.
Amart Sports used to import some SKS clone(type 63??) with full auto(that was illegal) and customs only caught on because one shipment the timber stocks were all burnt.
>>29516335
Money. So you could buy an SKK for $200-300 and you would tell them it was an SKS and get $1000 for it. Most guys were buying an SKK + a few thousand rounds of ammo and burn the barrel out and then still make $500.
I know a guy who handed in 44 rifles, all cool shit like mp5's, HK93's, Sigs, etc etc and bought a house for cash. He was working for the Federal Police so if he didn't hand them in, it would be his workmates fucking him so yea. Regrets it to this day still.
when is the US going to start a war to free the fuck out of the rest of the world? i want my fucking full auto RPG dammit.
>>29516476
This thread got me curious so i looked up to see if any areas in the US had done a buyback program in the past. This sounds similar to what people were doing during the 1974 gun buyback in Baltimore:
"For two months in 1974, the Baltimore Police Department ran what is believed to have been the first gun buyback program in the U.S. Police commissioner Donald Pomerleau, not known as an advocate for strict gun control, reportedly came up with the idea while at a funeral for an officer who was shot in the line of duty. Operation PASS (People Against Senseless Shootings) paid a $50 "bounty" for surrendered guns and $100 for tips leading to the confiscation of illegal guns. Some bounty seekers attempted to game the system by buying cheap, new guns that retailed for $21.95 and then trying to turn them in. In all, the police collected 13,500 of firearms - mostly handguns - at a cost of over $660,000. However, the city's already high gun homicide and assault rates actually increased during the program, for which police officials offered no explanation."
Fucking baltimore haha.
>>29510727
>>29515796
Yeah right near moorabin air port, im going to Little river on sunday, look out for a guy with a firearm owners united sticker on an ammo can
Ill be practising for practical rifle comp in castlemaine
Not sure about saturday yet
>>29516851
Ill be shooting a large square plate of steel hanging from an orange saw horse
>>29516542
Ha, solid.
When we say buyback it was definitely confiscation. Like if you got caught with the firearms that you were supposed to hand in you go to jail and get raped. People did set up near the area and bought some stuff and legit saved some history which was good. I know my local LGS would accept people handing guns into him and he would go to the buyback areas for a 10% commission and if it was something awesome he would just buy it off of them.
But yea, most people just did hand in everything(even guns that weren't semi) because the government was set of destroying gun culture, so I don't think it could really be compared to any voluntary buyback the US has done desu. If you want to rage, look up the pics from the 96 buyback, so much history and important firearms were lost.
>>29516898
Yeah that is completely than any of the buybacks that have been conducted here in the states.
What a shame. And on the backs of the taxpayers of course.
Apparently some rich marijuana distributor (legal) did a buyback program in Los Angeles a few years ago and just offered $200 "no questions asked" for any and all guns. Which of course caused people to worry that it would incentivize gun theft.
>>29516982
*completely different than
>>29516982
This is our Prime Minister at the time at what is known(to logical people) as one of the most peaceful protests/rallies in Australian history, with thousands(maybe hundreds of thousands?) of gun owners. Notice anything?

>>29509802
What an absolute shit collection. Get some real freedom faggot.
>>29505860
>No tinted visors? Seriously?
...i dont see whats wrong with this. the logic behind this being because of cloud, weather or tunnels it can get dark at any time. dark + tint = low visibility. low visibility = not good. if you want tint, get shades. shades can be taken on or off, a visor with tint dosent really switch to the clear ones mid ride that uh, well.
secondly, its crazy as fuck how little experience you need to ride alone NSW atleast. fucking, 2 6 hour days, and only riding the bike with power for half of the last day. you could pass a drivers license having ridden a motorcycle no longer then 1 and a half hours, and suddenly become legal to ride up to almost anything but those ninjas.
>>29509484
in the state im in, its not. one of my friends bought one as soon as he legally was able to, and took it over to our place and started shooting it. now, none of us had used or touched one before. we didnt know you didnt fire arrows more then once if they where polymer or whatever it was? mushroomed out, sent about 15 10 cm long shards through the wrist, entering at the base of the thumb and exiting near the base of the pinky. it was around this point we discovered what the leather weirdly shaped thing that came with it was for
>>29517608

>>29509802
This hurts my American freedom boner Australiacuck
>>29509370
hahaha. No fucking way. Way to go Australia.
>>29515947
Ownership is significantly higher and there's more legal guns now than ever before, plus the 80% of pre 96 guns that were never handed in. Rates of firearm crime in Aus have been on the decline since the 60s(just like the US), gun grabbers just like to attribute that to the 96 changes, the main cause of gun crime here are the bikie gangs who use never registered guns anyway.
>>29516350
20% of guns that changed license category were handed in during the buyback.
>>29519211
There 1 or 2 states where you can buy them with no regulation but they're registered like guns in most states.

I'd feel safe if I could concealed carry.
>>29521664
Only for us commoners. Government has different rules.
You can get permits for vests, but you need a genuine reason like collecting, reasonable threat to life, official use etc. It's pretty silly.
>>29521664
Since when do politicians follow the laws they created?
>>29521721

>>29522294
Essentially.
Reminds me of something funny a few years back, dunno if this made the papers or not. So in QLD at least to destroy a 'weapon'(vests count as weapons) you need to cut it in three critical places(so a bolt is three times through the receiver). So there was a dealer/pistol range who had vests and vests actually have an expiry date, I'm guessing for insurance reasons maybe? Anyway he had expired vests and needed to get rid of them, so he cut them at the seams/stitching down the side and over the top which means they are legally destroyed and put them in the dumpster behind the shop. They were gone the next day, he later got done for some bikie shit.
Was very interesting times in the trade.
>>29522370
>he later got done for some bikie shit.
clarify what this means?
he got shot by bikers?
he got arrested for being a criminal?
he got shot by someone?
he traded a dag for some vests?
>>29522376
Got done by the police.
How do you convince people to stop voting greens?
Everyone I ask seems to be a Greens voter. Mostly because of muh gay marriage or muh drugs. So I usually direct them towards LDP.
Any other party have a save the environment stance but are pro hunting/guns?
Plus with Australias fucked electoral system you can only vote for the fucking parties in your electorate, so majority of the time you are stuck with Liberals, ALP and Greens.
We need to draw up infographics or something and get people away from voting for the Greens because they truly are the worst people in Australia and they are the donkey vote of people who don't know any better. "Oh I don't know much about politics I just vote greens for the environment/gay rights".
>>29522384
I always vote independent and then mailbomb them with letters about what I want to see.
>>29522384
The problem is most young people have never had to pay taxes so the idea of a party being frugal with your tax dollars doesn't enter into their minds, let alone understanding the right conditions needed to foster business.
In the end, the best way to stop a greens vote is to know the person you're trying to convince. Suggesting LDP is a good idea, particularly if you argue for consistent application of civil liberties.
I know there are a small minority of greens voters who are pro-gun because they believe every tool is needed to fight the feral animal scourge. They're not very common.
>>29522384
Just wait for the poor oppressed muslims the greens preach tolerance of to suicide bomb a gay rally or something.
>>29522384
>Mostly because of muh gay marriage or muh drugs
And somehow they have the cheek so legitimately believe those causes are critically important and morally ok when compared to us dirty LAFO's.
>>29522408
Kek, I love how Greens want feral animals to disappear, but without culling or poisoning.
>>29522417
Well, those are very important issues.
The LDP is the only party that supports these issues and openly supports LAFOs.
>>29507508
This.
Az has the best gun laws in the land and the best weather as well. Not to many niggers, but get used to spics.
>>29521967
I'm not sure but if you come over on a work visa you can buy guns after you get a hunting license (which is easy as fuck in America as you might imagine).
Once you get your green card (not even citizenship) you can buy guns just like any other amerifat.
>>29522550
Vermont has laws just as good for everything except suppressors, plus it's like 99.7% white.
It's also actually green - which is neat for everyone living outside of North Queensland.

>>29522551

>>29522550
Or Alaska if you like snow.
>>29509802
what's the adler like?
>>29522551
To add: at least in california, and certainly in other states, a non-immigrant (visa, no greencard) with a hunting license isn't limited to buying traditional hunting weapons.
You can buy glocks, 1911s, whatever.
>>29522539
In the scale of running a country those issues are without doubt about as important as Australian shooters wanting fairer laws

>>29523344
Vermont loves their guns.
They vote democrat but no democrat will ever risk putting restrictions through.
