Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Rifles are definetly legal in Australia.  I'm sure you've got to jump through some hoops, but you can own firearms in AU.  I'm not sure on the exact restrictions, but I know that those Remington r-15 rifles are legal in AU, meaning AR15 mags must be legal too, at least in some capacity.

Semi-automatic rifles, especially centerfire, and especially those that look even vaguely military, are a pain in the ass to get a license for. Same goes for pump & semi-automatic shotguns, which is why pump-action rifles and lever-action shotguns have gained some popularity there.

I'll take care of their little rabbit problem.

But everyone better be ready for Hoosier Fried Rabbit restaurants the world over.

Serve Hassenpfeffer, too, and you've got a deal!

It's not just a pain - it's basically impossible in every jurisdiction. 

You need to prove some sort of need/reason to own a gun here.  If you have ranch property and permits for animal control, or hunting, that might do it.  Joining a shooting club and shooting a certain number of matches each year is another way to do it.  You need permission for every purchase, a licence to possess, and to meet safe storage and handling requirements.

But it is most definitely do-able.

Kangaroos are overpopulated too.  Rabbits scrub the earth clean, starving sheep and native fauna.

Same here. Hunting is the easiest way, so I'm probably getting my licenses this summer or fall. As long as I don't have any unrealistic ideas (like getting a Springfield M1 as a moose gun for example, or trying to get more than six long guns for hunting) I'm OK. I can however get a Mini-14 for deer, or a 10/22 for small game if I want to. Wish the laws were better, but few if any politicians are interested in changing them. Afterall, somebody has to be the whipping boy for gun crime, and it's easier to go after hunters and sport shooters than it is to try to intercept AK-47's and handgrenades coming from Eastern Europe...

Yeah, the weird thing is that crime is generally low here anyway.  It was literally one massacre that led to the nationwide crackdown on gun ownership.  I doubt much has changed - there were very few homicides of any kind before the law, there are very few homicides of any kind now.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

My father in law (from New Zealand) eats that stuff by the pound.  It's not that bad, but it isn't good.

I like it, it's supposed to be very good for you but the Aussie propensity to put it on toast slathered with butter kind of negates the goodness effect.  :lol:

Poverty, isolation, and boredom in the outback.  There's a confronting loneliness out there.

Took a bunch of my toys to the BACA International Conference this year, and was doing "show and tell" with our Aussie rep. He just kept shaking his head, saying "We're not allowed to have these"... >:D

And I hope they don't have an Aussie version of Bun Bun... ;)

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
