Guns in Australia! Say it ain't so Joe!

[Twaddle]

I thought guns were banned/illegal in Australia.  How is this possible?

There's basically no gun crime here.  A single shooting homicide makes national news. 

There's an argument for gun ownership in the US but this isn't it.  Try again.

That's what you'd like us to believe.  I see what you did there.

Can you imagine if there was a drive-by shooting in LA and you saw it on the news in NY?  Like it was a big thing.  It's like that.  Kind of quaint.


Btw that home smithed gun cracked me up!

Criminals always have them no matter what country. So my take is in the USA the good citizens use them for protection against the criminals I got a couple myself.

The sub machine guns in that story were homemade dude.

A lot of old machinists in Australia have been strong armed into making crude weapons by organized crime.

When the mob has to make machine guns, they are hard to get.

The whole thing is stupid.  I don't see why they don't just ban killing altogether.
