This is amusing cadet. I think I stay pretty well on top of gun rights topics here, and I have never once seen anyone make the statement that guns are banned totally in Australia. Can you support that absurd statement?

We do know that entire classes of firearms have been banned and/or severely restricted in Australia. Other than a few anti-2nd Amendment types like King Brown, I don't think many of us feel that those types of Australian style restrictions have anything at all to offer the U.S. I'm happy to hear that you are content having your rights incrementally taken away. Would your last name happen to be Brown???

Glad to hear that you can still use lead ammo for waterfowl there. Of course it is still legal to use lead ammunition for waterfowl in other parts of the world as well, and there aren't massive quantities of ducks and geese dying from lead poisoning as a result of it either. That little fact has been offered up to guys like Larry Clown several times in the past, but he's still tooting his anti-lead horn for any use of lead ammo for waterfowl... and now making a case for restrictions on lead for many dove hunting situations.

Larry Clown has been shown numerous inconsistencies in the junk science used to support lead ammunition bans including wide disparities in the amount of lead exposure required to poison or kill different species of birds, yet he still clings to the junks science and repeats his tired old refrain... "That battle is lost... no sense fighting old battles." Instead he wants us to meekly submit, except when it come to the few shots he may fire per year at upland game... something I doubt more and more considering the tens of thousands of posts he makes here and on several other forums. You can't have time to do much actual hunting and shooting when you spend as much time as Larry, shooting your mouth off about things you clearly do not comprehend,


Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
