But I remember Radion saying if it doesn't have a stock it's technically an handgun, so can you just get the stock off and than it's ok?
that was in 2016
Radeon is speaking about US laws though right?
What laws are you speaking of?
Australia literally has lists of specific guns you are not allowed to own at all
^
I was talking about Australian laws
Having a list actually makes more sense
You can have more nuance this way
Well they outlaw types and also specify certain guns as well
hence the ban on semi-auto, pump action all together
they also have a law about not being able to buy any gun that has been used by any military world wide within x number of years
Does that include handguns?
The military owned part
just rifles
Then there are certain calibers that are also outlawed
im guessing that make the available alternatives more expensive?
no surplus?
From what I seen there yeah, everything is very expensive
So basically anything that useful for anything other than sports
Well yeah, owning a gun for protection is illegal there idk if you saw the picture of the news article from Australia after their law change before
Oh yeah I saw that
So hunting and sports are considered their only "valid reasons" for applying for a license and going through the written and physical tests
does that count protection from wildlife?
If you own over a certain amount of land or have the permission on it, you can fire rifles and shotguns on the land but you can't for anywhere else
That includes shooting pest animals on that land
they also have limits on magazine size
I think the lower class license is 5rd mag and the other class is 10rd mag
For like bolt actions
thats an affront to my right to have terrible aim
lmao
and like lever action shotguns also have a limit
I think it 8
IIRC
could be 5 though
I remember hearing about a whole load of shit from there of the government trying to ban this specific brand of lever action shotgun calling it "new rapidfire technology" and owners were modifying it to get like an extra 2 rounds in it or something
(it was just a regular lever action shotgun btw)
i'd hate to be in a country where apartments have to have bearproof trash bins and not have whatever firepower i thought necessary
