Just another gun thread, don't bother reading.

They did it in Australia.

So.....you're not going to answer my question?

And no they did not do it in Australia. At what point in the history of Australia did its government confiscate millions of guns from millions of people?

They called it a Buy Back.

But one of Howard's other lasting legacies is Australia's gun control regime, first passed in 1996 in response to a massacre in Tasmania that left 35 dead. The law banned semiautomatic and automatic rifles and shotguns. It also instituted a mandatory buy-back program for newly banned weapons.

I could live with buying the fucking things back. I don't care how they get them off the streets and out of the hands of morons. Just Do It.
