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.

Quote: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.
Yea...how many doomsday prepping gun nuts did Australia have vs America?
You think they're going to sell their precious guns to the big bad government?

Don't you remember that guy in the toy section who was shot dead for holding a toy gun? Or that 7 year old kid who was shot dead for holding something or maybe nothing (I can't remember for sure) that appeared to be a gun?
Okay, only shoot them after you check their ID to be sure they aren't minors .. and then maybe just wing them a little?
You're goofy
