Australian Gun Laws: Example of Reasonable?

Gun owners of USA, this is what the gun grabbing libtards want for us, THAT THEY WILL OFTEN OPENLY ADMIT TO.

Gun politics in Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Firearms in Australia are grouped into Categories determined by the National Firearm Agreement with different levels of control. The categories are:
Category A: Rimfire rifles (not semi-automatic), shotguns (not pump-action or semi-automatic), air rifles, and paintball markers. A "Genuine Reason" must be provided for a Category A firearm.
Category B: Centrefire rifles (not semi-automatic), muzzleloading firearms made after 1 January 1901. Apart from a "Genuine Reason", a "Genuine Need" must be demonstrated, including why a Category A firearm would not be suitable.
Category C: Semi-automatic rimfire rifles holding 10 or fewer rounds and pump-action or semi-automatic shotguns holding 5 or fewer rounds. Category C firearms are strongly restricted: only primary producers, occupational shooters, collectors and some clay target shooters can own functional Category C firearms.
Category D: Semi-automatic centrefire rifles, pump-action or semi-automatic shotguns holding more than 5 rounds. Functional Category D firearms are restricted to government agencies and a few occupational shooters. Collectors may own deactivated Category D firearms.
Category H: Handguns including air pistols and deactivated handguns. ... This class is available to target shooters. To be eligible for a Category H firearm, a target shooter must serve a probationary period of six months using club handguns, and a minimum number of matches yearly to retain each category of handgun.

So this is reasonable? Little ole granny is going to be left to being an unarmed victim just so libtards can have warm fuzzies about 'doing something' in reaction to school shootings, even actions that would do absolutely NOTHING to stop school shootings?

Lol, that is 'reasonable' to gun grabbing Marxists and fascists and nothing to do with anything the Founding Fathers had in mind. No wonder the commies slam our FF at every opportunity.

Our gun laws have meant no mass shootings in over 15 years. How many mass shootings in the US within the last 15 weeks?

 

[JimBowie1958]

Of course, after guns are selectively confiscated (while using semantics to deny it all) the next thing for the commies is to selectively infringe on our rights to free speech. Much like any criticism of the POTUS today is labeled as racism by loons on the left, the commies will allow free speech only if it agrees with them and their fascist agenda.

AUSTRALIA: MORE VIOLENT CRIME DESPITE GUN BAN

April 13, 2009

It is a common fantasy that gun bans make society safer. In 2002 -- five years after enacting its gun ban -- the Australian Bureau of Criminology acknowledged there is no correlation between gun control and the use of firearms in violent crime. In fact, the percent of murders committed with a firearm was the highest it had ever been in 2006 (16.3 percent), says the D.C. Examiner.

Even Australia's Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research acknowledges that the gun ban had no significant impact on the amount of gun-involved crime:
•In 2006, assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.
•Sexual assault -- Australia's equivalent term for rape -- increased 29.9 percent.
•Overall, Australia's violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.

Moreover, Australia and the United States -- where no gun-ban exists -- both experienced similar decreases in murder rates:
•Between 1995 and 2007, Australia saw a 31.9 percent decrease; without a gun ban, America's rate dropped 31.7 percent.
•During the same time period, all other violent crime indices increased in Australia: assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.
•Sexual assault -- Australia's equivalent term for rape -- increased 29.9 percent.
•Overall, Australia's violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.
•At the same time, U.S. violent crime decreased 31.8 percent: rape dropped 19.2 percent; robbery decreased 33.2 percent; aggravated assault dropped 32.2 percent.

Yeah, crime shooting through the roof is OK as long as ineffective laws somehow are credited with preventing massacres.

Gun grabbers are simply insane.
