Politics Gun laws and news around the world

[bobthe3rd]

Although if you want my honest opinion. I really don't care about US gun policy. I don't live there. It's none of my business. If Americans are content with nutcases being able to legally purchase assault rifles and murder primary school children. While the cops do nothing then good for them.

The problem with people who have a one track agenda is that they cannot differentiate. Or adapt. Even as the world changes around them.

They end up being stubborn outliers. Who find themselves coming up against law enforcement. The US has a long history of it.

Oh, oh unless society is forcing those changes rather than the other way around.

"Daddy's little girl aint a girl no more" She makes me a sandwich or gets what is coming to her.

Or maybe this track is representative of my generation. The next generation writes the rules. Lets see what happens.

I have been in the IT/software development game for decades. One thing that is constant is change. We need to bring in members of the next generation to keep us competitive. They dictate societal change and where the biggest emerging opportunity's are going to be. That's the reality of it.

I don't know what I am going on about either. Other than making money.

No you didn't.

Now that Ive thought about it... No I did not.

Digging into Colins post on what looked like would be ordinary firearm maintenance getting banned without a firearm manufacturers licennse.
Its actually

It also builds on the Biden administration's executive action banning fast-action "bump-stock" devices and "ghost guns" that are assembled without serial numbers.

However would not have been surprised if they did make it firearm modifications banned.
One attempt was made in NZ to make all such work as adding scope bases only approved by the cops. They love to write ambiguous law so they can interpret it how they prefer. Arms officers are notorious at that and like all things in life you have to stand your ground and push back.

Also you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Good for you. In fact you are making up BS.

Of course I don't. Tell me, since there is no such thing as an appearance law in WA and NSW, why is it that you can't order a Warwick WF1L for those states?

Although I did use to work for the company that manufacturers all of the standard issue firearms for the ADF. Does that help?

Buddy my main point it this. Owning firearms in Australia is not illegal. I actually know multiple folks who own guns. I have fired some of them. One of my mates has a clay pigeon thrower and an under/over shotgun. My main concern is Australia being involved in bizarre far right conspiracy theories in the US which have no basis in fact.

I do not like to see my country being besmirched by useful idiots. F*ck you and your mass murder of 10 year olds.

Gun rights in the US is always a fun discussion, the only country where you hear "Mah guns protect mah freedoms" at the same time have laws that makes it illegal for you to collect rain water.
