When I see the reports of the activities of the ferrals around the
place, I shudder to think what it would be like if guns were easily
available. At present to get an illegal gun they really have to be
known to "heavy" criminals. The crims are reluctant to expose
themselves by selling to unknown "kids".

Bazz,
Agree but, what do we do about the ferals in Bureaucracy ? Or the feral system we appear to have when it comes to compensation for victims of ferals' activities ?
Look a little deeper into this & you'll find guns a minor issue in comparison.

individual,

Guns are a "minor issue" because at present we have relatively effective controls in place to restrict their ownership.

Poirot,
Again, why the twisting of a quote ? I didn't say guns a minor issue, I said in comparison to the bureaucratic ferals' doings guns are a minor issue,

Guns are easily available, join a gun club.
But apart from that where are the majority of the semi-automatic military rifles that were imported from China?

They weren't handed in during the 'Buyback'.

Anyway what's to stop someone making their own guns?
They are a simple mechanical device that is nowhere as complex as a motor car, any handyman could make one.

Which is beside the point, up in Queensland there are many thousands of gun owners who will look favourably on Bob Katter.

How many fewrrels would have access to the machine tools necessary
to make a gun ?
If they did put something together they would probably kill themselves
with it the first time it was fired.
