The Seppos recon that their constitution allows them to own and keep in their homes military firearms, does this extend to nuclear armed missiles?

I think there’s some distinction made between firearms and ammo, and “ordnance”. So no RPGs either.

I am sure I have seen the “Mythbusters” firing all types of military toys, so they must be legally available?

Did you notice the experts they had on hand from police and military to actually set up and fire the bigger ones?

Wonder what would be the “all up cost” of the course, plus and old concrete mixer truck and a sh*t load of high explosives? love to do a repeat on that one, it even scared the crap out of Heinaman.

I sometimes wonder why Australians get so worked up about Americans and their gun laws. If they want to cull their own population then so be it. The only interest for me is to sit back, point fingers and think how dumb they all are about it

It’s like watching a train wreck. I just can’t stop myself reading about it.

I don’t get worked up about it, but a load of young children being pointlessly massacred by a heavily armed maniac is an upsetting sort of thing, wherever it happens.

If there was enough desire in their population for it to stop, it could be stopped tomorrow. Just like we did

What they need is a visionary statesmen like John Howard. Who stopped the boats and the massacres.

There is a divide, especially over there, between the population and their leaders (whether popularly appointed or self appointed). If anything, within each side of the political standoff it is the leaders telling the people what they should think.
>What they need is a visionary statesmen like John Howard. Who stopped the boats and the massacres.
Hmm, I’m confident that even you don’t regard a twerp like Howard as a “visionary statesman”.
And you’ll recall that the political will for tight gun controls in this country has long been bipartisan. That’s what’s missing in the USA – getting the conservatives to agree that a heavily armed citizenry is both unnecessary and dangerous.

rushes in panting
Apart from John Winston Howard I don’t think we’ve had a visionary statesman since Menzies.
Not only did Howard stop the massacres and thousands of regfuges drowning at sea he liberated the good people of Timor Leste from the yoke of oppression and delivered them to a sunlit upland of freedom and opportunity.

I agree with Dropbear.
One of my fb friends has been posting stuff all week about treating mental illness before someone with mental illness goes postal in a school.

They were tabling a major cutback on medicade (as they term that over there) during the last term of office for Obama that I recall.
