This is a video I think every American should watch. It shows Australia after they banned semi autos. I hope people take warning.

Great Video

Wow. Great post, Shawn.

Wow! How do we get that to go viral to get that information out?

I posted on a few Facebook groups. If everyone does the same it couldn't hurt

How old is that video?

The buyback was in 1997 and before anyone throws their hip out patting them selves on the back, I would urge you to read Snopes.com's take on the videos and touted stats.

[facepalm] - When was the video itself produced? Looks like 90's vintage to me.

Fantastic post/video!! Lets see if mainstream media plays this one.....any bets?

Small surprise that crime has shot up there, now that the only citizens to have guns are the thugs. I say "Mission Accomplished" to all of those spineless, good for nothing politicians who have stripped away their constituents' rights and made them more vunerable than they were.

If f the video is from the late 90's/early 2000's then there's >10 years worth of crime stats missing; those should be dug up to see if the trend the video claims continued or not.

Be careful of snopes info. I used to be a firm believer in that site until I read an article about them a few months ago. Seems they have strong liberal ties and some of their info can be skewed as well. Not saying that their info in this case is wrong or correct, but anymore I will do my own information gathering.

My thought exactly......Where are the most recent stats?I fear our community all being portrayed as reactionary,uninformed and conspiratorial with all these baited treads and supporting posts. At this period in time we can ill afford to erode what credibility we have worked so hard to attain just for the sake of adding to our thread count and pats on the back from our fellow forum members.

Started digging, but work intrudes. Here's as far as I got with a link to Aussie crime stats:

Could you please forward that article when you have the time?

This is all OLD NEWS! All of you "Kids" are treating it like it just happened yesterday.

video title = Australia Protests Gun Ban

Made by = NRA is 1

 

it's been a long time since this video is made... i'd like to see some updated stats i def believe it.. but would like to see it

This is all OLD NEWS! All of you "Kids" are treating it like it just happened yesterday.

I'm one of the kids that remembered a similar report on the buyback back in 2000 on the BBC,thus my less than enthusiastic support for this "New" video and stats.

Even if crime stayed the same it's a loss for the anti's

See, we do actually agree on 99% of the content on the forum!

I got a response on a fishing forum. That's just scary.

 

 

 

Canada has a pretty strict gun ban. Where it is legal to keep a long gun in your home for defense, it must have the bolt removed & be locked up and the ammo must be locked up separately. So if a group of men kick your door in you must unlock the cabinet, assemble the gun, go to another room, unlock another cabinet, retrieve your ammo, load your gun & defend yourself. Who thinks this actually works? And even this is not allowed everywhere in Canada. The kicker---as part of your permit you agree to let the police enter your home at any time day or night to verify you are in compliance.

 

The payoff of course is public safety. The violent crime rate in Canada is more than 400% greater than the violent crime rate in the US.

You and I agree on most issues that I can remember and on the ones we don't.....That's life and we'll just have to agree to disagree.

That was the response I got on a fishing forum. Do you want a link to the fishing forum?

Btw screw the stats I was more not liking the cops being able to show up whenever they want to check the gun.

Not necessary, I for one do not go to a fishing forum for accurate crime statistics and neither should you. as to my previous point of forum members eroding credibility this is a prime example.....Why would you post such an outrageously unbelievable response from a fishing forum no less and be taken seriously?...By anyone?

You Sir are a buffoon,and what the Anti's love to quote as a prime example of the quintessential idiot with a gun.

 

 

Now you've had your 15 minutes.

Storage

Non-restricted firearms (most rifles and shotguns) must be unloaded and:

• made inoperable with a secure locking device (such as a trigger lock); OR
  
• have bolt(s) or bolt-carrier(s) removed; OR
  
• securely locked in a sturdy container, cabinet or room that cannot be easily broken into
  
• except if: (1) in areas where it is legal to fire a gun, non-restricted firearms needed for predator control can temporarily be left unlocked and operable, but they must be kept unloaded and all ammunition must be stored separately, and (2) in wilderness areas, non-restricted firearms can be left unlocked and/or operable, but must be left unloaded (ammunition may be kept nearby).
  

Restricted (handguns) firearms must be unloaded and:

• made inoperable with a secure locking device (such as a trigger lock) and securely locked in a sturdy container, cabinet or room that cannot be easily broken into; OR
  
• locked in a vault, safe or room that was built or adapted for storing these types of firearms
  
• for automatic firearms, the bolt(s) or bolt-carrier(s) must be removed, if removable, and stored in a separate locked room that cannot be easily broken into
  

Ammunition:

• must be kept in a location where it is not available for loading the firearm, unless both the firearm and its ammunition are securely locked up

Now you've had your 15 minutes.

 

I didn't tear apart the post for the part I wanted to highlight. I kept it as whole. I was more concerned about the cops being able to come into your house at any time.

 

Now as far as the name calling. I don't know who you think you are but to me your nothing special. Probably some wuss ruled by his wife and trying to feel tough and bad in front of a computer screen. Give it up. You don't fool me. People without sense resort to name calling and with that lose all credibility in my book.

Now back to topic. I could see the liberals pushing the whole bolt kept separate idea. They could argue you still have your guns for hunting and if we were invaded you could get your gun ready in a few mins.
