Why was 1970s Australia so fucking GOAT to live in?
>>60678789
No chink infestation
No nanny state
Leftishits and sjws were non-existent
Back then you could grab your mates, hit the local pub for some cold ones that wasn't taxed to shit, grab a pack of durries that wasn't taxed to shit, then drive out to the wilderness and shoot some fucking roos with your m8s and not have to deal with the batshit insanely restrictive gun laws.
>>60678789
This didn't happen yet.

I'll never understand why seppos fetishize 1970's Australia. It's literally the exact same in rural regions as it was then.
>>60678838
Oh yeah, and you could ride your bikes without wearing a faggy helmet
Then at the end of the day throw some shrimps on the barbie

>Ahead of him were Nanette Mikac and her children, Madeline, 3, and Alannah, 6.[14] Nanette was carrying Madeline, and Alannah was running slightly ahead. By this point, they had run approximately 600 metres (660 yd) from the car park.[14] Bryant opened his door and slowed down. Mikac moved towards the car, apparently thinking he was offering them help in escaping. Several more people witnessed this from further down the road. Someone recognised him as the gunman and yelled out "It's him!"[14] Bryant stepped out of the car, put his hand on Nanette Mikac's shoulder and told her to get on her knees.[14] She did so, saying, "Please don't hurt my babies".[14] Bryant shot her in the temple, killing her. Next, he fired a shot at Madeline, which hit her in the shoulder, then shot her fatally through the chest.[14] Bryant shot twice at Alannah, as she ran behind a tree, missing.[14] He then walked up, pressed the barrel of the gun into her neck and fired, killing her instantly.[14]
Brutal

Nah it ain't the same anymore m8. No more shooting wildlife with machine guns from the back of a pickup while smoking a nice fag
Hunting and guns are cucked to shit and filled with onerous and excessive regulations now.
This is why the shooters and fishers party is a thing
>>60678979
>No more shooting wildlife with machine guns from the back of a pickup while smoking a nice fag
Thats what people do for fun in the country.

Needing a licence to own a gun isn't really an excessive regulation.

Americans never cease to make me cringe when they try and use Aus slang
Like just stop man. No. Stop it.
>>60679013
Australia already required a license to own a gun before port arthur though.
Licensing was not the issue. The issue was that port arthur effectively banned the vast majority of firearms. Pump actions were banned, semi automatics were banned, etc. It also effectively confiscated guns from millions of people that were completely innocent and did nothing wrong.

I've done this except off a back porch instead of in a ute. People in rural areas are loose as fuck
>>60678789
I don't get it, how and why was that time period good. Just seems like another rural hole
>>60679129
People in this country don't really care about guns, its a non-issue. For the people who want one they can get one, its not that hard assuming you don't have a criminal history.
>>60678979
You're cringe as fuck. Youve clearly never been here man.

>>60679208
You are severely limited in what you can own though.
Take countries like Canada and New Zealand for example. Their firearm policies are pretty much geared towards vetting owners rather than actually banning guns. Aside from machine guns, you can easily get semi automatic guns and pump action shotguns with a license
>>60679220
Stuck a nerve?
Shame at how much of a nanny state you've become since then kek.
>>60679016
go fuck your dog, Chang
>>60679256
>let me tell you about your country
ahh yes
Americans should really stop pretending they know anything about what happens outside their borders
>>60679241
People don't care nor do they see a reason to own something like that. Recreationally, you can get rifles, handguns and shotguns at shooting ranges or private ownership if you live in a rural area. If you need one for work like pest control, a rifle does just fine. People aren't fanatical enough to want an assault rifle just for the fun of it, and people don't need anything more than the basics if they want one for work.
>>60679274
Nah m8 I mean look at this >>60679227
People seem far more laid back and relaxed. You could ride a bicycle withoutbwearing a helmet. You could enjoy cheap drinks and cigarettes, you didn't have the dumbshit lockout laws, etc. People were actually treated like adults by their government and not children that needed to be coddled from as much harm as possible.
Fucking shame tb h

The dead aren't there to claim victory.
>>60679310
You can not get pump action shotguns or semi shotguns which are extremely effective for hunting. Ditto with semi automatic centerfire rifles.
>all semiautomatic rifles are assault rifles
Fucking lol
>>60679310
Call me a cuck if you want but I see literally nothing wrong with this.
>>60679361
I'm not defending lockout laws (no one will they're completely retarded), but most of your other issues are there for a reason, gun control didn't just happen for the fuck of it and destroying the cigarette industry is a global ambition at this point
>>60678789
>corrupt NSW cops
>Drug dealers and killers running wild
the fuqq
>>60679310
>People aren't fanatical enough to want an assault rifle just for the fun of it
But how is a semi-automatic assault rifle more dangerous than any other semi-automatic weapon that uses intermediate cartridges? LOL
>>60679310
>>60679392
And again, if the laws weren't so excessively onerous in regards to the type of guns you can own? Why do you have two political parties seeking to loosen the gun laws to allow those types of guns again?
A ton of hunters and shooters in Australia are not content with the laws.
>>60679436
Because their hobbies are being affected, if you told a car enthusiast that he couldn't own a monster truck he would probably be mad too
The reality is that Australians are mostly content with the current system and no amount of shitposting here will change that
>>60679016
This, do they think they're funny?
>>60679392
Like I said, people don't care. Guns have never been an issue here, which is why fringe parties like the Shooters and Fishers Party more popular. If all those aforementioned weapons were legalised, nothing would change, because farmers already have what they need for work, and people who use guns recreationally are content with what's available to them.
>>60679411
>destroying the cigarette industry is a global ambition at this point
True. Then once retarded shit likebplaib packaging becomes mandatory worldwide and cigarettes cost 45 dollars each, the public health nazis will start going after alcohol (they already are), fatty foods, sugary foods, etc.
More individual freedom is getting shat on everywhere as time goes by.
>>60679471
aren't more*
>>60679463
>>60679471
So why do pump action shotguns and such remain banned?
>f-farmers are totally content
Evidently not seeing as how many want a reform to the gun laws.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVDCbKOR2lE
:^)
>>60679496
Because nationwide reforms would effect everyone, not just farmers. The government isn't going to reform a whole series of laws just to sate a small group. They can get what they need for work, they don't want anything beyond that.
>>60679573
>destroying the bolt action with the scope still on
for what purpose
>>60679611
>wanting assault scopes on our streets
baka
>>60679574
No. You're acting like most shooters and farmers are perfectly content with the laws when they are not.
For example the lever action alder shotguns which was banned from further importation and caused a massive furor from gun owners.
Also organizations like the SSAA, the largest organization by far for shooters seek to reform the laws.
Stop pretending that every gun owner is content with the laws. Many aren't.
>>60679639
>You're acting like most shooters and farmers are perfectly content with the laws when they are not.
>Stop pretending that every gun owner is content with the laws. Many aren't.
Gun owners are probably 1-5% of the population, and even fewer want radical change to the current laws. The fact of the matter is that gun issues affect a fraction of the population, because the vast majority of people don't own firearms. Most Australians are either content with the current system or simply don't care, and no amount of shitposting is ever going to persuade the government to introduce sweeping reforms to appease a small vocal minority.
Freedom is not a right, we willfully allow the government to exercise there power and as such deserve the consequence

>>60679755
Have you ever studied public law? Making and reforming legislation isn't done with the snap of the fingers, it takes considerable time and taxpayer money, and can have unforseen consequences if it isn't planned out very specifically. The government isn't going to spend time and money to introduce reforms when there can be unanticipated consequences and is being done purely to appease a small group. Until such a time when a) more Australians are actually interested in reforms, or b) When such reforms are actually tangibly needed, then no changes are going to happen.
