These reproductions of circa 1640s Matchlock muzzle loading muskets are strictly controlled in NSW.
They are in the same category as the magazine fed repeating rifles of WW II, It appears that Minns is afraid that they would be used by terrorists.
Their rate of fire, about one shot per two minutes [if it’s not raining] has naturally frightened the Premier and reproductions of the muskets used by the soldiers and settlers of the First Fleet around 1788 are also in the higher category of licensencing.

Ho Chi Minns is also apparently frightened of replicas of the 1860 Henry repeating rifle falling into the hands of terrorists, this piece of 166 years old technology must be truly frightening as it uses self contained ammunition, not like those slow firing 17th Century muskets which already have him in a tizz.

Meanwhile in France, where they have a high risk of terrorism, particularly from Muslims [just going on the record] guns that are strictly controlled in Australia are allowed to be purchased and used by anyone over the age of 18 without restriction [other than carrying loaded in a public place].
So why do the restrictions have to be so much harder here?
Apparently the French find the thought of terrorists arming themselves with mid 19th Century guns against State forces armed with modern automatic firearms rather ludicrous.

Typical Labor morons - instead of dealing with the elephant in the room they go off targetting everything else.

Please ignore my reference to Ho Chi Minns,
this is a gratuitous insult to the people of Vietnam for which I apologise.

Indeed. After seeing the absolute disaster it was for “Sniper Vest” Howard and the LNP after Martin Bryant in Tassie, you would have thought they would have gone down the obvious route.

Fixed it.

The new word on other forums is “Minge’’.

When a people are under attack one of of the first things that a real leader does is to teach them to defend themselves and to provide them with the means of doing so.

Apparently Minge and Albosleasy have a different agenda, disarm the law abiding, which makes sense if they are inherently anti-Australian.

From a post on AHN,

‘’ Well one of them wasn't [licensed]
.that in itself is unlawful criminal activity to the highest of orders...

The other was licnsed as per the implied restrictions of the actual license, which did NOT allow a him to join & enable a non-licensed shooter to slaughter innocent people in public with his registered firearms...that by its very virtue automatically breeches the scope of any "legal licensing" stipulations....and having said that, has it been established if the shotguns used were legal in their own right.??
They looked to me like they had tube mag extnsions beyond the capacity allowed for his categpory of licensing...which makes them illegal firearms, used by people NOT LICENSED to use them...

Dont be sucked into being in agreeance with media & Govt suggestions these were "licensed firearms"...licensing goes beyond that which your little card tells you that ypou are licensed for...licensing extends to keeping within the scope of what the license allows, by both wrtitten legislation, & also by expected & implied virtue, of which all were broken by these Govt enabled terrorist murderers.

So by the very nature & context of this situation, that video is entirely correct...they were NOT licensed to do ANY of what theey did, from murdering innocnt people, to using any firearm to do it... :onya:

And yes, AI generated stuff is becoming so common, the future of history as we know it, looks very bleak.’’

The Law according to Minge,
‘’ Punish the law abiding for Government assistance to the lawless’’.
