Like 99% of people commenting on Port Arthur, you don't mention that Barry Unsworth, then NSW Premier, said in 1988, that there will never be uniform gun control in Australia, until there is a massacre in Tasmania, because Tasmania had their own state laws and the Feds didn't like not having total control. Apart from the fact that the gun Bryant had supposedly used, had been handed in to the Victorian Police, 18 months earlier. How did it get to Bryant's hands from the Victorian Police? Ask those questions if you've got the balls to dig deep enough. And a lot bloody more than these need answering.
Suppressors are irrefutably a safety issue (PPE) unless your government wants to fund a ton of hearing-related healthcare in the future. I’m not wearing earplugs when I’m in the woods hunting.
FFS, PLEASE stop calling them "weapons". They're firearms. A weapon is something that is used to inflict harm on another person, and firearms in the hands of legal owners ARE NOT USED FOR THIS PURPOSE. A car is a weapon, if used to cause harm, or a pen knife, or a cricket bat, or harsh words, for crying out loud. Almost anything is a weapon EXCEPT a legally utilised firearm. The term is emotive, and used by the very authorities who's objective is to disarm the entire populace for their own dissociated reasons, so please stop playing into their hands by using ridiculous terminology for a legal firearm ! You are not helping our cause at all . . . . . .
Interesting information, Makes me appreciate living in Arizona, I think there are more AR15's and AK'47s in the state of Arizona then there are people. Then there is open and concealed carry, 50% of gun owners carry no licence needed Yet no daily gun fights....go figure! The only limits here are full auto and silencers , both just require money and paperwork and a wait! I have owned AKs ARs ,RPK SKS, all the evil rifles....over the years I've sold them all and now just love and shoot my CZ 455 lux .22WMR and Henry Lever action .22WMR LOL I am wanting another 20 inch "Old School" AR15 A3.
What bugs me is that a lot of the gun laws that existed prior to 1996 seems like a distant memory to a lot of people from that time there was state legislation surrounding guns prior to 1996 that has literally just disappeared from public view, even people I know from that time who were heavily into hunting/guns can only recall bits and pieces of what it was like. The collective mind wipe is so real that The gun section at Kmart is what most old heads can come up with when talking about it.
Those 1996 laws were installed due to the complete and utter incompetence of the Tasmanian police force, why do you think there were secrecy clauses put on the court evidence. The police force knew Martin was using firearms illegally , many complaints were made about him, and how did his father die? Well you might want to ask the police their thoughts on that.. the baby grand piano in the house he lived in was full of ammunition ,,, total incompetence on the police that he wasn’t charged years before the massacre
@@eddx5758 funny how they have pretty much all the guns you could imagine, hardy any mass shootings and their crime is very low? How have they done it I wonder
My heart breaks for you, you the ownership two .22’s and air rifles as an example of how your state is more lenient than others? Foreign affairs are just that, foreign. I’m glad you have a very grounded and correct attitude about this. What is life without contentment right? Cheers.
i have been told that less than 10% of the people allowed their guns to be bought back never give up your guns your government is not your friend no matter what country youre in
Most states already had reasonable gun laws in place before 1996 except QLD and Tassy because they were the safest states in Australia. Gun laws are made by the states but in line with media hysteria and blackmail all states agreed to implement a Federal standard in 1996 which some states have made more extreme overtime. Most of our population lives in cities on the coast so most of our politicians are city based coastal people who don't hunt or shoot. Our NSW police minister did not even know what a semi auto centre fire was nor did most poltiicians. They are automatic guns with high velocity exploding bullets that expand to the size of a dinner plate that no one needs to own (that's the media version). Overnight two thirds of Australia's trained riflemen were eliminated by the Prime Minister. It's not the gun licensing laws that cause the problem it's the gun control laws that allow rediculous over regulation. The licensing part allows me to own possess and use my S&W 686 for shooting targets but the gun control part makes it illegal for me to use it as a side arm when hunting feral pigs. There is no sensible justification for that. It is legal for me to shoot paper but gun control makes it illegal to shoot an Orange. The 5 standards are. 1. Categories A,B,C,D,H,R. 2. Genuine Reason to support category. 3. 28 day waiting period for licence application 4. Safe Storage and police inspections. 5. Registration of all firearms. Those who owned class1 and 2 firearms but could not satisfy the new categories were paid to hand in LISTED guns for compensation and could use it to buy new guns to fit there new category. Buyback guns did not have to be functional and Slug guns, bolt actions and break shotguns were not compensated for but were counted in media figures as guns handed in under the buyback scheme.
The use of OnLine licensing and PTA has improved in Queensland to Direct to Dealer PTA ( no reliance on Mail). Also, Dealers have now online Reporting of Transactions ( Form 10) and Register ( F16) rather than the Pen and Paper previously. Armourers ( Gunsmiths) and Theatrical Ordnance Suppliers ( TOS), both "Commercial Licences" can handle/ possess Cat R ( Machineguns)...the TOS for Blank Firing Adaptation, the Armourer for Manufacture, Repair Fitting Blank attachments, and Deactivation or Sectioning for Display Guns. In Qld, with the Correct Licence, one can own, or manufacture any Class of Firearm . BtW, a Dealer Cannot handle Cat R without a Specific Ministerial Exemption ( I know of only ONE at present.) With the improved Amnesty Rules, Dealers can accept Unregistered Firearms for Registration to Owner,, for Registration and Onward Sale, or Surrender for Destruction ( No compensation). Surrender to Police Station will result in eventual Destruction, No Compensation. Better to surrender to Dealer, get Value, and Onward sale. Pretty Good Video, well Laid Out.

I am so very glad I was born here in the USA. I am all for background checks and responsible ownership, mental fitness and don’t much care for any more restrictions than we experience now. The far left liberal terrorists here seem to be the most uninformed individuals in the world and are always trying to impose more restrictions. In the state of Virginia last month they were trying to modify the second amendment of our constitution which is the right to bear arms. These people are unbelievable and absolutely relentless. They want you to live in fear so that you are easier to manipulate with fear. Some things about gun control laws I can see good in but taking away guns from good solid people isn’t one of them and the government and criminals will be the only ones able to defend themselves in the end. I’m Ex military and have seen what can happen first hand to people who can’t defend themselves and their families. I feel we need decades of pro gun rights politicians in office to fix this and more educated people about these issues. Good subject very informative. Thank you. I hope that your government will lift some of their goofy restriction for you and the rest of responsible owners in you country.
I think responsible ownership should be law, safe storage and mental health, etc but type restrictions/limitations and supressors laws are 100%pointless
Im from Burley Idaho and I hunted Rabbits in 1969 in Mildura i wish I had enough money to go back to Australia for a visit. I have a lot of fond memories of Australians
All of this is crazy to me but it's really crazy that the police can just come to your home and demand to inspect your private property. We in the US need to be careful to not become subjects of the state...
I’m a gun owner in the US. For comparison, in 2023 we averaged 327 shootings per day with 118 of those being fatal, and right around 340 mass shooting. Most here define a mass shooting as four or more people being shot by the same shooter.
Good video mate, I just want to make some corrections, farmers in QLD can get Cat D and cat H/concealable firearm, revolving carbines are only allowed on Cat A if their a shotgun or a rim-fire, cat B if their center-fire and to my knowledge semi-auto air rifles are on a cat A. Have a good one cheers.
Lol barney is my spirit animal haha I don't see any reason why you couldn't apply for multiple categories if you fill the requirements for each one. I got a and b at the same time
@@forgivemylaughter A Fudd, is a gun-owner who supports traditional hunting guns but favors gun control for other guns such as handguns or tactical rifles. The only problem with that idea is the 2nd Amendment is for self defense, from individuals, local, state and national governments. Hunting is part of it, but a minor part. We have been warned by our Founding Fathers that governments can become tyrannical, and the 2nd Amendments is a way for use to defend ourselves.
@@phonedude58 I’d say you got it way better down south, I’m in Canada, but it’s a double edged sword. You are free to buy whatever but you also have major problems with mental head cases. In Canada we have a lot of restrictions but the psycho spree shooters are few and far between.
@@forgivemylaughters Well it is against the law for people in the U.S with mental illness to purchase a firearm. And to keep things in perspective more people die in bathtubs each year than mass shootings. But if you listen to the news media you would think there are more shootings in the U.S. than Abortions, which they are ok with.
Decent video as ever mate. I think the idea that the restriction of firearms hasn’t prevented massacres is skewing it a bit though. Think back to the Lindt cafe siege. The perpetrator was only able to access a shotgun, and I think it’s safe to say that the number of casualties was kept low as a result, compared to if semi auto had been available - although I admit that it’s hard to say for sure. Likewise, look at the most recent attempted terror attack in my home of Melbourne. A couple of people were stabbed to death, but in the end the police were able to contain the attacker. I can only imagine the numbers of casualties had that guy had access to guns. There are things about our firearms laws that frustrate the heck out of me when it comes to practicing my hobby, but for the most part, I fully support them. Your video gives me the idea that you have pretty similar views. Thanks for the time you put into this one 👍
I agree with you, in the video I said it hasn't stopped mass killings but has definatly scaled them down when they involve firearms. The arson attacks and vehicle attacks still have significant death tolls comparable to mass shootings previous to 1996. I think in the case of the cafe siege that evil prick wanted attention more then a high death toll, but the most important take away from that one was it was an illegal shotgun anyway, so as per usual murders and terrorists are not super fussed about the guns classification lol but I do agree that the scale is certainly smaller with firearm related massacres
One reason I am glad I live in the "wild west" of the US. Yes, we could use some common sense rules here to but I don't see it happening. We have more guns then people here.
I think education and responsibility should go hand in hand with firearms ownership. Even if a change in the rules isn't possible an education campaign wouldn't go astray, encourage safe practices rather then restricting access would be good for any state with good gun rights
Learning how to use a firearm properly I can agree. Common sense are just a bunch of shill words that are used by anti-gun activists which is butchered to have strict gun law. Just remember that we American have a US. Constitution, 2nd Amendment, that give us the RIGHT to have or own firearms. Your country (Australia) DON'T!
Your A classification has Paintball guns on it and Air Rifles. Here in Canada our laws are almost as strict as yours. Any air rifle over 500 ft per second requires a license. Paint ball guns don't require licenses.
@@meatheadmarksman2013 Because of the Mass shooting that just happened Here in Nova Scotia. I live in the same province it happened in. The guy was a true nut bar> he was already banned from owning firearms because of mental instability. All his firearms were smuggled in from the USA. 1500 firearms are now banned in Canada. Over half of them were already on the restricted license list and a whole bunch of ones that were already banned/prohibited. Anti-tank rifles, mortars, RPGs, grenade launchers, missile launchers. You know stuff you can only get from a black market dealer. In Canada we have Non Restricted which is your a,b,c, everything else looks scary so its restricted. Some handguns are still restricted and available for restricted license holders. But since the new ban came it to effect on Friday we have basically have a very small restricted category now. They might have a grandfather clause where you may keep the banned firearms but they will needed to be taken to an authorized place and have it decommissioned
We are allowed pump action rifles with pistol grips... the reason we can't have pump shotun is because the people who made the laws are stupid, there is no logic involved.
We banned pump shotguns because they are really intimidating in the movies. Always remember that politicians are far more concerned with being seen as "doing something to solve the problem" than actually fixing a problem. Check out the QLD VLAD laws for a prime example of getting rid of the criminal bikie gangs by effectively just forcing them to no longer wear colours or riding in groups and freezing some assets. What really happened was they now just use plain clothes ans cars to blend in and those that had gone legit and worked as tradies had to choose between family and their legal income. Next to zero criminals went to jail and no major operations of these groups were disrupted.
Great vid mate. I have a lot of people ask me about the hoops we need to jump threw to own a firearm and now I can just send them to this very informative vid. 👍 that sako tho 🤤
What if you want a pistol for home protection. Do you still have to have a gun safe? My pistol has a lock on it. came from the factory that way, called a Bersa thunder. I can't see locking it though, by the time you get it unlocked when you need it, you'll already be dead.
If you want a pistol you have to have a category H licence which is a giant pita to get, takes about a year and you have to attend the prescribed safety courses and a bunch of range visits have to be logged, which is all fun and games but in this country if it was always close at hand so you could used it for self defence the court system would almost certainly see that as premeditated use of a weapon. In Australia your supposed to call the police and let the intruder kill you while you wait lol
Although you can use a weapon including a gun for defense against an equal level of force (i.e. an armed assailant) you can not own or carry a weapon for that purpose. The pistol has to be in a safe, unloaded with the action clear and "open" with the ammunition stored in a separate locked container. The likelyhood that you actually need a gun for self defense is actually extremely low even in low socioeconomic areas unless you are a drug dealer and get into fights with other criminals (or you live in Victoria and win the Victorian police hit squad lottery).
I'm an American looking to move to SA in the near future, I know most of my firearms wouldn't be permitted in any part of Australia, but I was hoping to eventually bring my Taurus Circuit Judge, it's a revolving short rifle that can fire either 4 10 shotgun shells or .45 Long-Colt. Do you think that would be allowed? Also how would taking something like that out for hiking or fishing trips work legally? I love the outdoors but also want to go prepared because I know you have some nasty creatures out in the bush! Good video all around and have a good day!
I know You can own that particular gun in in Queensland on a catagory B licence but I'm not sure about SA... also the only time you can go hiking and bring a gun is if you have permission to hunt on the property, or you own the property. If you want to hunt on state owned land you must have permission from whoever is leasing that state land. You can't just carry a gun while your out hiking in Australia, unfortunatly you'll get arrested. Highly recommend sending the www.adelaidegunshop.com.au an email and asking about private imports, and email sapol.firearmsbranch@police.sa.gov.au with questions on legality and category of the Judge
Very informative. Once you complete your safety course and perhaps join a gun club, then apply for a certificate can you just get a say Tikka T3X A1 Tac in 6.5 Creedmoor as your first weapon. I was told once that you have to start with a small air rifle own that safely for so long then apply for a larger calibre, which I thought was a bit of a waste purchasing a rifle that you don't want or need. Where in QLD are you, don't know why but I assumed you were in NSW. Im in the UK at the moment, but do have PR, lived on the Gold Coast for a few years and last year lived in the West End of Brisbane. I am hoping to get back soon though, missing some decent coffee and some decent weather.
In qld you can apply for a and b at the same time so if you wanted the tikka first up that's the way to do it. I'm not aware of any regulations that force you to get class a for a while before class b. Handguns are a bit different but long arms afaik dont have that restriction
@@meatheadmarksman2013 Thanks mate for the quick reply. I appreciate you giving a background of being in the military to endorse your opinions and advice on guns. Im just a total novice, so doing all my research at the moment to get into the sport here in the UK and potentially in QLD. Thinking of also joining a shooting club here in the UK in case I don't get another job back in paradise that is QLD. I had been thinking of getting a FX Impact in .25 calibre, but as it requires a license in the UK and the price of it, I was told you might as well just get a centre fire rifle and be done for the price you intend to pay for an Impact. Just recovering from a broken shoulder at the moment so that was another reason I started looking at the 6.5 Creedmoor calibre on the Tikka A1Tac as it is reportedly less of a kick back than a 308. Do you need to have an additional licence for moderators in QLD as I believe this rifle is quite noisy possibly around 160db ?
@@Elfin4 theres basically no way for the average person in Australia to own a silencer or moderator. The only people who can have them are professional shooters who get income from pest control and can demonstrate/prove a requirement for it. This is possibly the stupidest rule of them all... but if you want a quiet rifle your basically limited to long barreled 22lr and airguns - you still can have a supressor but you can choose quiet ammo or tune the airgun to shoot quietly
@Elfin4 an FX Impact will only require an FAC in the UK if its muzzle energy exceeds 12ft/lbs. Feasibly you could have a sub 12ft/lb .25 calibre Impact but you wouldn’t be getting anything like the rifle’s true potential. Sub 12ft/lbs in .22 or .177 would give you a really useful piece of equipment though. Also, I’m laughing heartily at the idea of decent coffee in Queensland! A very funny joke, that! *edited for typos*
@@15woody20 Unfortunately to have a an Impact in .25 calibre the Impact requires to be a FAC weapon. They don't do a .25 in sub 12ft/lb. Agree it is a very impressive and accurate airgun, but when considering the price in the UK it is virtually the same price as a Tikka T3X A1 TAC centre fire rifle. So you could just be getting a Centre Fire rifle for the same money. Also some ranges won't allow airguns with a .25 calibre so then you are restricted to where you can shoot and that may prohibit the actual FAC being granted.
Everything is regulated. You can get semi auto 22 if you are a cat c licences holder, which is not most people because you just be a primary producer or pest controller to get it. Handguns are "cat h" licence with length minimum length restriction on barrels and magazine capacities, also must attend a certain amount of range shoots per year to keep tge licence, annoyingly difficult to get a hand gun
Meathead Marksman the strange part to me is that before I really got into guns, this was just a few years back. I remember talking to my best friend Asking him... - Dont you think the government should take away “assault weapons.” He’d ask, what is that? I wouldn’t have an answer. -dont you think people should stop at owning only maybe 7 guns. No more? He’s ask why? I wouldn’t have an answer. Now I completely understand the danger of restriction, as there is no way to ban murder. There are laws that prohibit it. Yet people will never stop. And if you ban knives, they’ll use ropes. If you ban ropes they’ll use etc... Same with guns, if laws prohibit them, people will still break those same laws that say don’t murder or assault someone. Limiting the guns for criminals doesn’t really work here as there is a very large black marker from Mexico. Idk maybe it would work. Also, no pump action shotgun? That is like home defense 101 in the states. That is quite bizarre. Maybe going down to a 20 gauge as the largest shot, but requiring what actions? Break open? Double barrel? Better than nothing I suppose. I absolutely LOVE white sharks, and rays, and the reefs and fish. I’ve always wanted to see Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, the Outback itself. What an amazing country.
@@GatCat none of the restrictions make any sense because the person is the problem not the gun. The gun is just a thing and for whatever crazy reason people think tgats what does the killing... to solve the problem I rekon you need to identify who can iwn guns safely and ket them have whatever they want. Evil people get nothing and good people get whatever they want, but how to separate the two is almost impossible
Meathead Marksman I really appreciate how you responded to me. I loved your video and will be subscribing. I hope to learn a bit more about the country. I’ve been abroad a bit, almost had a layover in Sydney but we stopped in Singapore instead.
I would rather have a right to use force in the defense of self and others instead as that is the real core issue. We have never had a right to guns and as much as I like them most Australians would prefer not to have them involved in their daily lives. There is always the option to moving to a place that has a culture and legal system you like better and I may do so myself if it ever gets to be more than I can bear. Or you could just push for the political changes you want since it is a democracy and all.
Sounds about the same as Canadian gun law, Just doesn’t make sense 🤪 I know this is a year old video but I don’t care enjoyed it all the same! Good job mate enjoying your content
Mosin is catagory B in my state, not super difficult to get. Most sporting shooters could own one if they were into it. Im more of an enfield man myself as far as historical guns go. Those finnish mosins are pretty sweet tho...
@@aBANDIT. it shoukd be the same but wa is a bit annoying when ut comes to weapons licencing. You might have an easier time of it if you join a historical rifle club. Usually they all get togeather and shoot their old militry guns on the range, its a good time and they will have the inside scoop on how to get what your want
It look more or less like our Canadian gun laws. It's not what I was thinking. That said I think a licenced citizen (mentaly stable with safety course and safe storage...) should be able to own what suits them best, wathever it is.
I can undrestand the pump action shotgun thing becuase it can cause a lot of damage very quickly(in a mass shooting). A handgun seems really easy to get though! It is semi auto, easily concealable and much easier/faster to use for mass killings🤔😐 Kind of strange really! Personally I think with some tweaking, Australia has good gun laws! Most of the guns you cant buy are really the guns no one really needs to own (they just eant to own)! Silencers should be allowed though, thats is just simply annoying.
Theyre not supposed to be in view when in public, theyre ment to be im a gun bag or case and your only ment to have them out of the safe if you are on your way to the range or a hunt or need it for work or watevers. So its probably illegal and either not enforced or they handt been caught yet
@@byutube4360if it’s a rural area where everyone knows each other the chances of getting arrested for that are about as high as getting stopped for jaywalking or littering.
Regarding the PTA process I do not agree with that at all, I’m in full agreement of going through the process of getting your gun license, but there should be no other process you have to go through to “purchase” a firearm...cat H attendance records I do not agree with either it serves no purpose to public safety at all...but that’s just my opinion though 👍
Yeah I'm with you on that one. U rekon its would be a good thing if the licensing department had a list - (a secure list... not like the one they have now...) of each persons gear but you shouldn't have to ask and pay a fee. Handgun attendance is pretty stupid too... I'd probably have cat h if there was no attendance rule. A browning hi power with sweet custom engraving and an air pistol would be nice additions to my safe
Meathead Marksman if your talking about like a registry system I don’t agree with that either registries have known to end up in criminals hands making it a potential “shopping list” for bad guys....New Zealand abolished there registry so did Canada it was proven to not be effective against fighting crime....after a firearm is stolen it would most likely have the serial numbers removed and how many crimes have been solved by having a registry?? New Zealand has a more stricter process in place in applying for your gun license, a lot of licensed people support New Zealand’s system...the funny part to all this is that lol New Zealand was offered to implement Australias gunlaws it was projected to be proven not to work...in lamen terms Australian gunlaws have not worked the way it was supposed to...New Zealand “politely” declined having a system replicating Australian gunlaws
@@anthonyhawes8019 I think we could learn alot from out kiwi brethren. I'm all for abolishing the registry idea if it hasn't ever helped. Maybe it's just one of those things that seems like a good idea before you look at the actual results.
Meathead Marksman yeah I think we could learn a lot from them as well mate, I’m all for law abiding people wanting to shoot to go through all the process of getting a firearms license, BUT once a person is licensed and deemed to be a “fit and proper person” both mentally and physically etc there should be no more checks or PTA’s on any firearm you wish to buy...I quite like the New Zealand method it’s system a lot more involved and process is more stricter than ours in Australia...you would be surprised on how many licensed shooters in Australia actually support the kiwi system 😁 if it means we can get our semi automatics back, and pumps back then I’m all for it...in my opinion semi automatics should not be in the category that they are in now, what gets me is that we can have semi automatic hand guns but we can’t have semi automatic long arms..that to me makes no sense, as you said in your clip we can have pump rifles but not pump shotguns ( as if pump shotguns are more lethal lol) but just my two cents worth, but as I said I don’t think it get talked about enough as there is a lot of thought provoking evidence to suggest that “gun control” is a myth...a USA president once said “THE BEST FORM OF GUN CONTROL IS TO PUT THE CRIMINAL IN JAIL AND THROWING AWAY THE KEY” Ronald Reagan...but keep those vids coming mate absolutely love ya work and all that you do I always look forward to watching your vids and you present them well...👍
The purpose of a registry is to aid in the tracing of firearms that have been used in crimes and the likelyhood of criminals getting access to it a pretty fucking next to zero. It serves much the same purpose as a car registry and combined with strict border controls on cargo and the requirement for the secure storage of firearms the next effect is a massively reduced availability of illegal forearms. The largest supply chain of illegal firearms in most developed countries is by theft of legal firearms which when restricted pushes up prices on the black market making them less available for crime in general. PTA's are a waste of time and money with a ridiculously high error rate. That part of the process could have just been fully automated and in QLD isn't even required if you are trading in a rifle of the same caliber and action at a dealer.
Pretty much every air gun available in Australia is open for use to people who have a category a licence except for air pistols which are under category h. You won't be able to get a shrouded barrel or suppressor unless you have a special permit for it and you can only have that if your job is past control
You Aussies need access to the Mexican border. For $5800 USD (probably $8000 AUD) you can illegally buy an illegally smuggled in full auto M4 copy made by Norinco in China. You are breaking lots of laws, but the guns and the illegal dealers are not that hard to find close to the Mexican border. Your waiting period is how fast can you count out 80 $100 bills, and that's all your paperwork too.
The pump action shotgun was banned due to its firepower. When the Adler came out it should have been prohibited for the same reason but was not. Gun lobby at work or incompetence?
it was banned because of fearmongering, firepower had nothing to do with it. You can still own a pump action rifle, just not a shotgun. and most of the available magazine fed pump action rifles carry 5 MORE rounds then your average pump action shotgun, not to mention they are far far far more powerful then a shotgun round. and yet still no pump action mass shootings... Fear... not firepower.
@@meatheadmarksman2013 “Fearmongering?” Certainly fear. Fear of another Port Arthur ever happening again in this country. It has not, however it has in New Zealand where an Australian murdered 51 people with a firearm now prohibited in Australia. Firepower! You would know that 45 8mm projectiles from 5 x 12 gauge shotshells (#O) fired from a pump action shotgun in quick succession is firepower. Why pump or slide action rifles were not prohibited I do not know. Btw I am a firearms owner and they have been a life long interest for me but this is 2021 and times have changed enormously since I got my first rifle from one of the 6 or 7 Gun shops in George St Sydney.

@@meatheadmarksman2013 "blame the scary gun not the actual problem" The "actual problem" is twofold, 1.

Readily available self loading rifles and the two twisted individuals.
@@baobo67 then we agree. "Scary guns" (my sarcastic words) should only be available to people who can pass mental and technical competency requirement , and for good measure, must follow safe storage requirements - no sarcasm here.

So, always increase the possibility of success. 8, Life is not going to be easy. Because of our unnecessary things. Eliminate all the unnecessary things as much as you can by organising yourself well with the environments. 9, Never believe anything without the proper evidences. 10, Always try to give more than you take. Because it is dignity/ character of the divinity within you. 🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all. People are controlled by system why? The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more. Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix) 😊 Well, I truly love God. I am not religious but very spiritual person. So, I believe 1) Religion is the beliefs in someone experiences But spirituality is having my own experiences. The mainstream religions people promote religious ideology by giving guidelines and guide but In my spiritual life; I do not want anyone or anything between God and me to restrict my freedom to worship God. 2) We do not need any authorities to do good work. The god work is the good work always. In contrast; organised mainstream religions are claiming that they have the authorities to do God works as leaders so on. 3) God is not capable of doing wrong thing, change the past for us and create anything out of nothing for us. Nothing means not anything. So, even God is limited. The mainstream religious people believe that God is unlimited. 4) God wants us to take responsibilities for our righteousness life but not for all the consequences of our actions because they are continued to exist among us. So, How can god punish us for all our consequences? The mainstream religious people believe we are full of sins because of all our actions. 5) Freewill is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure. So, we do not have choices all the time. In contrast teachings of the mainstream religions are promoting people to do god's will always because we all have choices of freewill always. 6) We can not separate everything into groups. So, everything for good and evil and there's no success and failure for everything. If everything is real then real things can not be threatened. Once you come to understand that God/The Holy Spirit is in each of us, You will no longer need a Book to tell you how to live. Then why we need religious scriptures? The Virtue is the expression of the basic goodness in our actions. The Basic goodness is the fundamental worthiness of every individuals. We are worthy to God always in everything. 7) Beliefs in a cruel God makes a cruel man. No matter what; every living creatures has the right to live and What makes their life cheap? Everything depends on everything. Nothing too big or too small in value. We can not love and hate at the same time; Being a vegetarian means love without cruelty happily. The mainstream religious people are killing people and sacrificing animals in the name of God. They promote God's cruel punishments. The Punishment is endless for Sinners/Devil according to religious scriptures. But God is love always. Overcome hate with love. If all religions for peace, unity? No way. Because they are not for peace. 8) Well, The God gave us everything to go from moment to moment in our lives as we do our part and pray only to thank god then the Love is in progress. The Love is always for everyone. We are always worthy of the God's love. Our greatest fear is; not to be loved by anyone but we are all loved by someone. When we eliminate all our unnecessary differences among us then true peaceful life is possible with the true love. If we can't find the peace within ourselves then we will never find it anywhere else. 9) This is the Fight for independence and freedom of humanity to worship God freely without religious guide and guidelines to restrict us. Unnecessarily, We do not want third party controls over us in anything ; especially in spirituality. 10) Revive Survive Thrive. Sincerely, The Real Peacemaker against religious oppression. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HbvCxMfcKv4.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wLzeakKC6fE.html
@@meatheadmarksman2013 I got my approval for cans but have to wait till they get imported :( in sa you can get your pta approval sometimes on the same day if the dealer does it for you . Just a&b semi takes few weeks
Yeah nah our laws and regulations are rubbish as specially with all these stupid categories! And not to mention you having to put in an permit to acquire a firearm every time you want a new gun and that can take weeks to get back to you in the mail I would take the us gun laws any day!
Nice vid about your laws, but it sounds like you've been brainwashed by tyranny. I agree about safety and storage, but an iron grip over citizens and registration and licensing isn't stopping criminals from committing crimes and is punishing people that haven't done anything. As you pointed out, you don't need guns to kill, and opening the door to these kinds of laws allows a never ending flood of stupidity in laws.
im aware of how stupid the laws are, if I had my way the only laws would be safe storage and handling laws because lots people are stupid enough to need those laws lol I think we have a very different culture too, certainly doesn't feel like tyranny here in Australia, others might call it that but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
@@meatheadmarksman2013 Well at least you have a good viewpoint on what the laws should be. Most gun owners here in the US wouldn't have a problem with required training and proving you had secure storage. I think that's important, as does every gun owner I know. I have a major problem with registration and licensing. The only reason to register anything is for later restrictions and confiscations. Licensing is simply a revenue stream. Once you prove you're not a criminal by passing a background check, went through a safety course, have secure storage, and if necessary show all that when purchasing, I don't think there should be any further red tape anywhere. When Americans are watching videos about laws like yours, and for example UK laws, some say that will never happen here, but it already has and is getting worse. One point you made was about the different areas in Australia having different laws...we have 50 states with different laws, and when you go on a road trip across states and want to bring a gun for hunting or self defense it's a complicated mess that a law abiding citizen shouldn't have to worry about. "Shall not be infringed".
