Today in Australia, a man was arrested with a Thompson SMG. The news have been running with this since, with the assistance of NSW Police.
But, there is a problem with the line being spewed by the Police, and regurgitated in the media... This isn't a Thompson SMG, it's a Denix imitation.
This is how retarded Australia has become. A fake toy gun is a national news story.

>non-firing replica
Oh god.
Police said they discovered a Thompson branded fully-automatic submachine gun, a clip and almost 200 rounds of ammunition in Avidov's bag.
Sergeant Dave Rose said "some of the gangsters in the United States used to carry them".
"So a rather frightening piece of firearm capability there." - Police spokesman
"That's a pretty serious weapon," a police spokesman said. "It is not one that often turns up."
>>27927887
Oh God damn. Sorry, ausfags, but all of you are fucked.
>>27927910
I love how they don't mention that American soldiers and police used the Thompson... a handful of criminals used the Thompson and suddenly it's a TERRORIST weapon!
It uses TERRORIST ammunition!!
The awkward moment you use a plastic gun to scare the media instead of all the real ones on the table.
>>27927896
You don't think America is retarded either? Ear plugs are bullets! Every celebrity sold their soul to Satan! The illerminerty!!
This isn't the information age. This is the stupid age.
Yay, devolution!!

"The assault rifle is to undergo ballistic testing, while its alleged owner has been charged."
And again.
Never forget Australia.
>>27927896
as opposed to here in chicago, where 8 dead and 16 wounded every weekend barely gets a sound byte since its normal.

Tasmania
>Due to the nature of the sport of airsoft (as with Paintball) it is classified as a ‘war game’ which is defined in the Firearms Act 1996 as a simulated military exercise or similar activity in which a firearm is used or carried by a person. Section 119 of the Firearms Act 1996 (TAS) prohibits a person from taking part in, allowing, causing, assisting or advertising or promoting any war games. As a result, war games such as paintball and airsoft are prohibited in Tasmania. It has previously been established that an Airsoft gun would be categorized as an air rifle or air pistol for which a category A (air rifle) or category H (air pistol) firearms licence would be required, however, the Firearms Act does not provide for an appropriate ‘genuine reason’ to possess a firearm for airsoft activities, therefore an airsoft firearm would not be able to be registered in Tasmania as the applicant could not provide a satisfactory reason for wanting to own and possess the firearm. In short, the playing of the sport of airsoft and the possession of airsoft firearms in Tasmania is currently banned and that position will most likely not change in the near future.[7]

Unless a crazed NRA member shoots a dindu for something silly like trying to rape his wife. Then its all about how "he a good boy an dindu nuffin."
>>27928102
So let me get this straight..
On a giant island where EVERY animal on it can kill a man, to include one called "Tazmanian Devil" and it is illegal to not only own a semi-auto rifle, but airsoft as well?? How the fuck do you people even exist on a day to day basis?
>>27928136
>>27925334
probably this.
>>27928155
No, this is a prohibited weapon in Australia. You will go to Jail if you try to import one, or if you possess one in your own home.
>>27928161
No fucking way. This is too bad to be real
>and I wanted to emigrate there.
>>27928167
If you browse /k/ you don't want to live in Australia.
Its fucking awful for anyone who likes guns.
Whilst we still have handguns the fucking britfags can have semi-auto rimfires and shotguns that are banned here and they're fucking lever release guns and straight pull converted rifles just to rub salt in the wound.
Aus has literally the worst gun laws in the western world.
>>27928184
>still have handguns
How controlled are they? Can you get a semi-auto, or do you just get flintlocks?
>>27928188
You can get a hand gun < .45 calibre with < 10 round magazine if you have been in a gun club for 6 months and shoot in 12 shoots a year at a club only.
They are even trying to ban lever action firearms here, as that's a new technology apparently...
No shit! 'A significant test for firearms laws'

>new technology
Shit, bruv. However, I can live with the less-than laws.
>>27928184
are there still manly men in Australia ?
>>27928203
ive always wondered if some new technology came along ( i.e. Rail Rifle, Laser Blaster, etc), would existing laws apply or would new legislation have to be created specifically for them. (i.e. would the second amendment cover Laser Rifles?)
>>27928203
My head hurts from reading that.
Holy fuck bro....just wow...
Hey seriously...is there anything I as an American can do to help you down there? Maybe we coulf start a movement to get Australia to become a US state so you then get our gun laws?
>2Nd ammendment would apply to you

we dont generally measure masculinity with firearms, we never have either.
>>27928334
Yes. The SCOTUS has determined that it covers all arms.
>Nukes have yet to be touched but the means to make one is tightly regulated and impossible to make
>>27928336
Wouldn't that be great!
We even just saw it banned in one of our states (NSW) to possess a digital copy of a firearm plan.

Jesus Christ Australia, what happened to you?
Also, where the fuck can I get one of these? I want one very, very badly now.
>>27928346
>he doesn't respond with how many rounds are in the magazine when asked "how big ya dick?"
>>27928334
would probably work like drug legislation where anything new gets banned no matter if it's harmful or not
>>27928346
don't be so hard on yourself, american women and gays love aussie guys, in fact in popular culture you have a reputation for being manly
>>27928379

Not in Australia. Syntehtic drugs are banned in QLD and WA, other states to follow.
>>27928386
Ausie women and gays love American Soldiers
>>27927885
No news link? How do we know if it's already been determined to be a toy replica?
>>27928351
then why hasn't Hughes Amendment and NFA been repealed yet if they are covered?
>>27928136
Tasmanian devils are basically angry woodchucks you tard, there are no large mammals on tasmania.
>>27927929
Enter the NFA.
The whole thing was a knee-jerk cited as response to organized crime.
>>27928496
Because congress loves terrible laws. Technically these arms are not banned so its not a violation of the 2A, and congress loves technicalities.
>>27928505
You mean they DONT spin around eating everything they come across?
There are also Saltwater crocs down there

The difference, though, is that people aren't going to prison over ear plug bullets, selling their soul to Satan, or the illumernitaey.
>>27928476
>How do we know if it's already been determined to be a toy replica?
Because we have eyes. And it's clearly a Denix replica

My god you've cracked the case wide open!
>>27927887
He also had shotgun shells
>>27928836
I really hope you are being sarcastic.
>>27928836
I'd suggest looking up what is meant by a 'replica' firearm. Which is what Denix sells
It's akin to claiming to own a Ferrari, when what you have is a limited edition 1:72 scale model of one
>>27928849
And about a hundred rounds of .22
Neither of which, incidentally, are .45ACP, otherwise known as 'the thing a Tommygun makes go blatblatblat'

Wasn't organized crime a response to organized tyranny?

It's not a real firing gun, that's the issue here.
>>27928505
What about the Tasmanian Tiger hmmmm?
>>27928102
So, according to the law, even LARPing is prohibited.
Could you imagine those dudes going around Austrfailia waving their simulated swords and rehearsing an approximation of a real life scenario?
>>27929525

>>27929536
That looks kinda cool, and at the same time lame as fuck.
>You will never fuck a bear-druid short chick.
>>27929536
Why is everybody who LARPs always fat?
>>27929549
good riddance.
>>27929610
You know I thought of that when I posted this random pic?
Yet look at my friends in Italy!
>https://www.flickr.com/photos/86784644@N07/sets/72157631579786725/
They are not fat. Some of them are slightly overweight, but that's not an issue -- right? Their variety reflects the variety of Italian population.
You find some pretty damn fit guys and girls, and many do historical fencing as well (and they kick my ass even if I am 185 cm and 86 kg).
(I linked to a very old gallery. Tried to find new ones with better photography but failed).
So I argue the problem is that Google is dominated by Anglo-saxon people that post their shit since the dawn of time. E.g. in the USA there are more fat ppl than Europe, so you can do the math and see why we always come up with fat LARPers during our google searches.

I mean, this chick is in perfect shape:

I love how in every LARP/airshit/fantasy photo gallery there is always that one guy who didn't dress up.
Like some of these people have outfits that must have taken weeks to put together and then there is always some fucking guy in jeans and a polo. Like wtf, you couldn't even make an effort?
>>27930650
>>27930804
The one not playing dress up is the one that's not a faggot.
>>27930814
then why is he there?
>>27930831
Straight people still go to gay bars, because it can be fun.
I imagine the reason is the same here.
>>27930650
>laser pointer
>>27930650
ok, that shit is just fucked up
>>27929525
If it doesn't involve guns you're good to go. There's a big community of people who dress up as knights and shit and have sword fights. That's 100% cool with the law, it's just doing the same thing with a gun is bad. The 1996 Act was made to destroy any and all gun culture.
