Jorg closed the first thread due to lack of content so I thought I would give it another go.
This is from 2000 and rather old but I did not know of his demise until I read the article. I do remember reading about the 1988 award he had received and enjoyed the movies with Paul Hogan. Sad on many levels

This is not to bash the Aussi government, cops who represent the government or anyone else. It is just to show some what can happen unless we all band together (NRA or half a dozen other 2a support organizations) and insure our elected officials understand and respect 2a and our rights for self protection as individuals and citizens. Maybe one of our Australian members can shed some light on the article as to it's veracity?
Bottom line to me is it is better to stop the mischief before it gets started than afterwards as the ink is drying.
The article further states the crime rate ( as you would expect ) went up after the guns were removed.

It was reported that 44-year-old blond-haired Rodney William Ansell resembled uncannily Paul Hogan, the actor who played his part in the movie and the sequel. Although Ansell was no angel and had had previous run-ins with police, he had been named 1988 Australian Northern Territory Man of the Year for inspiring the movie and putting "the Australian Outback on the map."
What motivated this shooting? In 1996, Australia adopted draconian gun control laws banning certain guns (60 percent of all firearms), requiring registration of all firearms and licensing of all gun owners. "Crocodile Dundee" believed the police were coming to confiscate his unregistered firearms.
