"A SIX-month gun amnesty will be held in Queensland after the national handgun buyback ends in July.
Police Minister Judy Spence yesterday said Queenslanders would be able to hand in illegal firearms without penalty between July 1 and December 31.
Those with a licence should be able to register any unaccounted-for weapons.< !--color-->"

Internationally, dramatic gun control victories in countries such as England, Australia, and Canada are also unraveling.

� Crime did not fall in England after handguns were banned in January 1997. Quite the contrary, crime rose sharply. Yet, serious violent crime rates from 1997 to 2002 averaged 29 percent higher than 1996; robbery was 24 percent higher; murders 27 percent higher. Before the law, armed robberies had fallen by 50 percent from 1993 to 1997, but as soon as handguns were banned, the robbery rate shot back up, almost back to their 1993 levels.

� Australia has also seen its violent crime rates soar after its Port Arthur gun control measures in late 1996. Violent crime rates averaged 32 per cent higher in the six years after the law was passed (from 1997 to 2002) than they did the year before the law in 1996. The same comparisons for armed robbery rates showed increases of 45 percent.< !--color-->

Are these fuckwits going to get the criminals to finally comply by handing in their illegal guns for NO compensation? I don't bloody well think so!

Had a bit of info from the Gun Dealers Assoc;

From July 1, take your unlicenced firearm to a dealer and pay $15 for him to identify it for you (DER!!!)
He gives you a identification form and you go to the local police station and pay another $15 and get an instanious approved PTA.
Take this PTA to the dealer and sign on the line and take your now licenced rifle home.

Sit at home shitting your pants for a further 6 months, because if you have any more than one, I recon they will visit you with a 'Please Explain'

If you had a choice and the responsibility of supporting your non-working wife & 3 kids against your principal of not giving up your firearm whilst being threatened with jail terms of up to 14 years would you be a fuckwit or smartarse?
My duty, and that of every red blooded retrosaxual that I know, is to the wife & kids no matter how strong I feel about being disarmed.

If red blooded retrosexual males are left with a choice between disarmament and their family they have obviously left things too late.



How much of their own time they put into preventing such a choice arising in the first place, is what defines them as smart people or fuckwits.



Of course it is easier to do nothing when you have the chance and blame it all on family commitments when the crunch comes...

We live in a democracy

Democracy: defined as a system of government where the people are FREE to do as they are bloody well told!

(Probably why the Iraqies are causing so much trouble for Uncle Sam)

Anti abortionists in America don't do as they are told.
PETA doesn't do what it is told.
Animal liberation front doesn't do what it is told.
Our own Greens don't do as they are told.

All have plenty of muscle to change laws.
In fact they are mostly behind the loss of our guns.

Democracy- "an easy state of existence that allows those who put the hard work in to shit all over those too lazy to do anything."
