You're right. It's not science fiction. I'm a member of other forums, and through that, I've known and made friends with some Aussie's and a couple of people living in England.Originally Posted by trv1911
My Aussie buddy, has shot a 9mm handgun before. He went to a shooting range to do it. The gun was suspended in the air with bungy cables. Basically he could aim it just a few inches and pull the trigger. That's how paranoid the Aussie government is. His father owned a hunting rifle. They came and confiscated when they did an inspection to make sure it was secured. They came for the check and the gun was not in it's gun safe, so they took it, and he can't have it back.
The guy I know in England thinks his paintball gun is a hoot. But that's about how powerful a gun they can have there. And those are just 2 of the freer countries in the world.
I've told my Aussie buddy, if he get's over here to America again, I'll make sure he get's to shoot my guns, and do my best to get one of you guys with your awesome FA guns to meet us.
Honestly though, I could so easily shoot an intruder, or robber, but I don't know if I could shoot a cop to keep them from taking my guns. I wonder what would have happened if one of those in N.O. had defended their 2nd amendment rights by shooting a cop?[/b]
