Australia gets even worse. This is why we must never give up in our RKBA struggles.

You have to be kidding me.
Just more proof that criminals will still commit violent crime, withought guns. They'll just start using whatever else is at hand.

thefitzvh,
For a while one of the state governments in Australia was kicking around the idea of licensing martial arts schools and banning the teaching of modern combatives and any form of weapons training.
I am sure it will get much worse for our friends down under from here. The upshot is we in America should get some immigrants that will vote for RKBA from Australia soon.

This is a damn shame. Australia is one of those cool countries, the type that you think wouldn't do stuff like this.
If things were right, most Australian states would have gun laws as or more liberal than those in, say, the state of Wyoming or Utah.
Don't get discouraged, Aussies! Things are bad, I admit, but keep up the good fight down there.

As we have seen elsewhere on THR, I submit that hammers will be banned next.
No more homicide.
In an announcement Tuesday morning, Australian Prime Minister John Howard, along with Police Minister Andre Haermeyer, declared a major victory in the war on gang crime, thought to be the underlying cause behind all homicide in Australia.
On Monday, Parliament passed a bill designed to put a permanent stop to homicide. Details of the bill including its implementation and enforcement are difficult to understand, but the main provision outlaws possession of scythes by a particularly ruthless band of criminals known as the "Grim Reapers."
After the disarmament takes effect, Australian citizens encountering such gang members, who usually wear black hooded cloaks, are advised not to take seriously anything the suspicious figures say and to call 911 if the cloaked figures continue their harassment after being asked to stop.
They Australian National Police have supported the bill, predicting a 100% drop in homicide over the next year.

OK, I guess the logic is --
We will register/ban/confiscate anything that can be used to hurt someone.
When that doesn't create the socialist peaceful utopia, then we go to PLAN B, as exemplified in the movie "Equilibrium". Registering/banning/confiscating evil thoughts.
And when that doesn't work, we go to PLAN C -- er, what was PLAN C again?

I should have used the proper term in literary criticism -- it is a "Distopia", a utopian ideal gone bad in a BIG way.
But yes, I think that many people in many parts of the world, including the U.S., would be willing to give up almost anything to be "safe", not realizing that there is no such state of being. But, to many, even the illusion of "safe" would be enough.
I follow the sage advice of the wise, and don't give out my real name on first meeting people -- who knows, they might conjure with it, and do something bad to me. (My tin foil bill is already large enough without doing silly things like that!)

Way past stupid.
Hmmmm, leather mask, leather mask, leather mask -------- makes sense to me.
Which would be better do you think, horsehide or cowhide? Rough side in or out? Tactical black, or natural?
Maybe this is the answer to what to do with all the junk in the "Discarded Holster Box". Can I make one out of some old Galco Holsters? (I am not touching any of my Sparks or Alessi rigs!)

July 2010 News Paper Headline
Last nights Cricket match ended early in the evening with the arrest of both teams for posession of multiple deadly weapons. Parliament declared that the Cricket bat is a deadly weapon and for the safety of the children these dangerous weapons must be removed from the streets and parks. Said one mother of 2 who supported the passing of the legislation, "it had gotten out of hand, everytime I brought my children to the park people were carrying these weapons in plain view scared me. If they can knock a ball several hundred meters, what will they do to a child?"
Sorry folks, had to write it.

I hope you guys like cutting your food with the edge of a fork, cause kitchen knives are next, Oh wait a minute forks are pointy too, well I hope you like eating your gruel with a spoon, but wait yoou can sharpen those.........
I know the answer, a law oulawing idiots from serving in the government.
Or you could all just take your illegal weapons and kill the first government official you see. Then start over and elect a completely new government.
Just kidding of course. You could all buy feathers and tickle them till they pee in their pants, and then they will all quit from embarrassment.
