The Drum Beat Continues: Australia confiscated 650,000 guns. Murders and suicides plummeted.

Australia also banned the aborigines from purchasing or consuming alcohol.

Perhaps we could benefit from picking a certain group of minorities and specifically banning them from something that is perfectly legal for others?

Honestly, if the .gov decided to confiscate all of the guns in the US, I am pretty sure they wouldn't have much problem finding them. Also, fairly certain they would find most the ammo too.

So, why don't they just take all of the guns and ammo from the criminals then? Seems like a good solution to me. You know, since it's so easy to do.

Although everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I'm going to politely disagree with you on this one.

I guess I'd like to hear more about Kraven's vision too...

I can only imagine they'd make some unconstitutional law that said the private ownership of X is now illegal. Surrender them at X location(s) by X date, or you will be a felon...

I think Kraven meant it wouldn't be hard to find the ammo as it would be headed there way at 2600 fps. Or maybe that's just me being snarky first thing in the morning.

oh haha that very well may be true in some cases too...

Plus think of how many boats they will need to recover a large majority of the currently lost ones...and the additional boating accidents that will certainly lead to more accidental deaths.

I believe the response would be: "Dear Sir, as for your claim that you lost your firearms in a terrible boating accident, we have video evidence from our NSA drone that disproves said claim. You will be contacted by Federal Agents."

[ray1970]

Hmm. I might owe Kraven an apology. I didn't get the sarcasm in it.

My bad.

This is from an anti-gun poster on another site, but it's pretty funny: "Lets eliminate all gun laws and make guns available to everybody, however you can only buy ammunition from Comcast Customer Service".
