John Howard's Gun Laws are the triumph of good sense and whether you like him or not he is a genuine bona fide Australian HERO for bringing those Gun Laws in
He has saved literally who knows how many lives by preventing us from going 'all the way with the U.S.A.'
When Howard was fighting to get those Gun Laws in, he faced enormous opposition from our own Gun Lobby and self interested Parties. But he fought on and with massive support from the Public at large made his Gun Laws iron clad
Sorry Baron but that's just BS.
he did clean it up for a while.... how many guns were taken off the streets????... they would still be out there if there hadnt been a buyback....
30.000 guns were handed in during the amnesty....as well..
come on these guns are never more....
there will always be loonies out there and the more guns out there the more chance they will get their hands on one...
the fewer the harder it is...
Most of the 30000 guns handed in were not worth what govco paid for them.
Several people I know handed in their old guns and bought new guns.
I think if you check the records
There are probably more guns now than before the amnesty.
And one small note of interest
Wasn't at least one of the handed in guns used in a gun crime?
I remember reading about it, but can't for the life of me remember the details.
