In this video I explain the gun laws in Australia and clear up the myths that guns are banned here. Please take the time to listen to what I have to say so that you can have a better understanding of how these laws are applied here in Australia (in particular Queensland which is my State). Feel free to read up on the rules yourself with the following links to the applicable Government websites:
Weapon Act 1996 (Queensland)
www.legislation.qld.gov.au/LEG...
Weapon Regulation 1996 (Queensland)

Non lethal self defense weapons are prohibited here in Australia. So you cant use a baton, pepper spray or a taser to defend yourself lawfully. Carrying ANY type of weapon for self defense also is illegal as people can not conceal carry weapons such as knives or handguns. Home/self defense is not a genuine reason to own firearms in Australia. Basically, we have criminals with unregistered guns but have no right to use firearms to defend ourselves. You could have a crim break into your house and if you injure or kill the intruder even with bare hands, you can end up in jail. The law in this country in regards to self/home defense is a joke.

I actually just got my A/B licence last month, I keep my safe in the she of the other side of our block. so it'd be no good for home defence anyway, plus i live in the middle of fucking nowhere, like dont even bother to lock your doors nowhere, unless i realllllllly piss of the only other bloke in town im pretty safe from homes invaders

Brandon Barkman I’m British and I am thinking the same! Semi auto rimfire with no restriction on mag sizes is the bread and butter of British rifle shooting, but it sounds like the Australian MPs think it is a serious issue. I find it odd that Aussies can have centerfire because they fancy it (recreational use) yet semi auto rimfire seems to need much more validation and even then is crippled by mag size.

The US has had background checks for years now. You cannot buy from a licensed dealer without having an FBI background check completed… unfortunately you along with others have been tricked to believe that there are no backgrounds checks in the US because Obama keeps saying he wants them… what he actually wants is registration so he can set up the building blocks for confiscation in the future. He just calls it 'background checks' so it's a feel-good catch phrase that the majority of the public won't argue with… But take a look at the FBI's website and you can clearly see the requirements for background checks to be completed before anyone can legally purchase from a dealer, also several laws prohibiting people from legally obtaining a firearm, such as criminals, age restrictions and so forth…

And I have a feeling that the laws work mainly in theory ( it's for the commons imo), with a few politicians and wealthy individuals laughing maniacally as they themselves get possession. But that is mostly speculative. Many in the US who are fighting our ATF and the gun laws here have a reasonable suspicion that there have been full auto weapons which were registered after the 1986 closing of the registry and have made their way into the hands of politicians or wealthy political donors.

Another great informative video Ozzie, cheers. Thought I'd post this for the WA viewers. WA laws for Cat B: 'Original Application': 1.Sit the online firearms safety test at the gun dealership. 2.Purchase the firearm. 3.Collect the firearm serviceability certificate. (All info about the firearm purchased). 4.Find [buy] a property letter for your caliber. This is part of your genuine reason for owning that firearm. 5.Fill out the online application form @ WAPOL and print. 6.Take that application with ALL the above details and I.D to the post office, pay the fee and wait the 28 day cooling off period. Also with this application you will need to prove where the firearm will be stored. If at home, you have to provide photo evidence of the safe bolted to the wall and floor, sales receipt of the safe and serial number. If being stored at a gun shop, they need to fill out a stat-dec and sign. An 'Additional Application' requires all of the above with the exception of the proof of storage, sitting the safety test and you don't have to wait the 28 day cooling off period. Note: In WA there is no minimum size property for any caliber. But to get a property letter to shoot a 300WinMag on a 10 acre property to eradicate rabbits will NOT be acceptable. General rule of thumb is 1000 acres for every 10 caliber. E.g: .223 = 2000 acres. .308 = 3000 acres and so on. Also the vermin you wish to hunt needs to fit the caliber you are applying for. A 300WinMag is NOT acceptable if you want to hunt only foxes. Use this link as a guide: 3uasgy3qszid1rpblr2o9lw2.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Image-2-Copy.jpg Happy hunting.

The only thing I agree with is the proper storage of firearms. As for the 'categories' that part is overly complex and a good example of how government takes something simple and complicates it. The one thing about guns that never ceases to amaze me is in places like New York City, they use many semi and full auto firearms to protect money but do not allow citizens to keep them to protect human life. I guess the banks and Wall Street's precious money is worth far more then any human life. Just an observation from the USA. Also, if gun control is so important and the elimination of guns is supposed to create a utopia, then why do all government officials surround themselves with armed guards who carry full and semi auto rifles and hand guns? Guess a politician's life is worth far more then a citizens.

Hey Ozzie, great video, thanks for not taking sides and giving us the facts. As a US firearms trust lawyer, I'm familiar with the definitions of firearms, which here, under federal law, is any part of a gun that holds the trigger group/can trip a firing mechanism...which here for the most part is limited to lower receivers. I feel pain for the collectors in Australia, as that is mostly what I deal with in the states, what is the legal definition of a firearm there? And how would a permanently demilled firearm still meet the legal definition of a firearm and be subject to such legislation? See 80% lowers receivers as an example, they cannot accept a trigger group, and therefor are not subject to firearm legislation or control.

Just a brief rundown on Canada's gun laws. We have 3 firearm classes: Non-restricted, Restricted, and Prohibited. Now for non-restricted, that is virtually any manually operated firearms (rifles and shotguns) and no magazine limit regardless of whether it is centerfire or rimfire. This class includes many semi-auto rifles and shotguns if the barrel is 18.5 inches or over but semis have a maximum capacity of 5 rounds. Restricted licenses cover all handguns and some semi-auto rifles. For handguns, the barrel length cannot be inferior to 105 mm (4.1 inches) and the magazine capacity is limited to 10 rounds. Semi-auto rifles that have a barrel length of less than 18.5 inches or are modeled after certain patterns (AR15 and all it's nephews, nieces and cousins are a prime example) fall into the class as well. Prohibited includes all handguns with barrel lengths inferior to 4.1 inches as well as any and all converted automatics, and certain classes of semi-autos including the the venerated FN FAL, and the legendary AK47 as well as all it's variants. Some types of ammunition is classed as prohibited as well (.25 and .32 caliber as well as the non-sporting variant of 5.7x28)Some exceptions apply to the magazine capacity in semi-auto non restricted rifles. If you possess a M1 Garand, it is legal to have all 8 rounds in the magazine instead of the customary 5. We've only recently done away with the registration of non-restricted firearms and various organizations are striving to remove even more restrictions. This is just a brief overview. There are others here on KZfaq that can explain our gun laws to you better than I ever could.

Appreciate the rundown. I have been curious abut this subject for some time and this is the best explanation I have found. Honestly, my head is spinning. I will give your government props for being thorough. As I watched I couldn't help but think that every firearm I own would make me an instant felon. Oh, except for my single shot .22 I got for my 7th birthday 52 years ago. I have a question I ask any Aussie that will respond. Is there any push back from Australian gun owners to relax the laws? Do you have any options? Or do most people support these measures? I am in Arizona, USA, so this is strange to me. I am not judging, just looking for knowledge. Thanks for the great video.

Thanks for watching and your comment… now to answer your question, yes there are big push backs and we now have a handful of politicians from pro-gun parties in power which is an advantage. There are a couple of main issues, firstly the years of media brainwashing by presenting misleading information to the masses and secondly, shooters in this country are too divided and not doing enough as one to send a clear message to politicians that this is no longer acceptable. I started this channel 2 years ago in a hope to bring shooters together and start showing the real side of shooting which is just a whole heap of fun as we all know. So far it's working well and I hope to continue with the support of viewers to bring more and more shooters together in this country, then we can act as one and start getting changes in our favour…

Thanks for sharing and clearing up the mystery. I must say, while Canada's gun laws are rather foolish, and I mean no disrespect whatsoever, Australia's are just a complete mess, to my way of thinking anyway and that's just my opinion. I can't help but wonder if legislators create such convoluted restrictions and regulations in an attempt to confuse the average citizen so much that they generally won't bother with acquiring firearms licenses. I, personally, don't see such drastic measures as necessary. Licensing, yes. Background checks, yes. Training in the safe handling and usage of a particular class of firearm, yes. Fees for a class and license, then fees for a permit to acquire it along with so many various categories. From an outsiders point of view, it appears to be a complete money grab. I definitely don't agree with registration. As it's been proven, here in Canada anyway, to be a tool used as a means of confiscation. A lot of it just seems to be utter foolishness. But that's just my take on it. Again, thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Nick U. This was a post I recently put on my Facebook page in response to some anti-gunners… "This is the reply for the anti-gunners that have decided to grace us with their wisdom… I'm posting it here so everyone (pro or anti gun) can see the real figures... Re: your knife vs gun comment, why is any death or injury to innocent people acceptable? You say "if you come at me with a knife, I have a chance to defend myself" but you're not for self defence or is self-defence ok so long as it's not with a gun? Have you ever tried to defend yourself against a knife attack? Unless you have a high skill set that only 1% of the population possess, it is near on impossible to avoid being slashed by a knife in an attack… I'm sure those of you in LE on here can support this, I believe it is standard training across Australia if you a presented with a knife then you are taught to respond with a firearm due to a deadly threat? So why is it ok for LE personnel to possess a firearm to protect their lives from a deadly threat yet if a civilian is presented with that same threat, they have to just hope for the best? I understand where you are coming from, saying that in a rampage a firearm has the potential to cause more death, but once again as I mentioned, how many law-abiding people do you see doing these rampages? So in your anti-gun belief, lets take all the guns off civilians, security, police and anyone else here in Australia, tell me how you suggest to handle a criminal with a firearm? Or on a lesser scale, if you only believe in taking the firearms off all the law-abiding shooters here, next time there's a shooting, who will you blame then? Re: your comment "I am not going to comment on stats (gathered from the FBI) presented by a hunting and shooting organisation", unlike the anti-gunners who rely on emotion to push their agenda, let's look at the Australian Institute of Criminology who source their figures from the Australia Bureau of Statistics www.aic.gov.au/dataTools/facts/weaponUseTrend.html 1) Weapon use trends - Homicide with a firearm 1995 = 59 deaths, 1996 (which includes Port Arthur) = 98, 1997 = 75, 1998 = 54, 1999 = 61, 2000 = 59, 2001 = 49, 2002 = 42, 2003 = 38, 2004 = 33, 2005 = 26, 2006 = 46, 2007 = 34, 2008 = 31, 2009 = 30, 2010 = 39, 2011 = 41. So my original point was very true and valid. The average trend pre-96 was downwards and continues on an average downward spiral to the present day with a few spikes, but overall anyone can clearly see that I am not making this up. What annoys me is the anti-gun lobby love to claim the downward spiral average since 96 as being due to the implementation of the 96 gun laws, when it's got nothing to do with them. If that was the case why was the previous year in 1995 only 59 deaths? I have seen the previous pre-96 years stats and it's the same, it's been coming down on average and your claim to fame of the 96 gun laws as being a success couldn't be further from the truth. According to the Bureau of Statistics the 1996 gun buy-back cost the Australian tax payer just over 304 million dollars ($304368776 to be exact). I'm sorry but I can't see the benefit of over $304 million dollars in wastage because of one person's actions. How's those gun laws working to reduce the already dropping homicides with firearms? 2) Looking at the same page, it's interesting to see that knife homicides are roughly twice that of a firearm homicide. Why don't the anti-gunners out there push for a national knife buy-back, because they are responsible for twice the number of deaths here in Australia? Then take a look at the knife use in Robberies as apposed to firearm use, it's roughly 4 times the amount of firearm use! Re: your comment about gun policy.org, I'm glad you mentioned that site… It is run by Philip Alpers who works for the University of Sydney promoting anti-gun policies. So you had a go at me for referencing stats from a firearm organisation, so why should anyone here believe the stats from an anti-gun website like gun policy.org? What qualifications does Philip have to claim he is a researcher & policy analyst, firearms injury prevention (1996) or a gun policy researcher (1997). He refers to attending university "without enrolling" where he "did drugs and university by day" and worked part-time by night (North & South Magazine July 1991). He appears to have then dropped out to "move on the fringes of the hippy drug world" (NZ Listener 24 October 1987) and to later become a radio DJ is Gisborne. So I find it hard to take onboard any of his anti-gun stories, why doesn't he cover the hundreds of pro-gun stories where law-abiding people have defended their lives with a firearm, after-all Philip claims to provide a fair and balanced viewpoint on his website… Your other stats you're quoting from gun policy is severely flawed… why not provide these stats with the CDC in the US or the Institute of Criminology here in Australia? Re: your comment about suicide and people with a plan to suicide and a gun in the home are 7x more likely to have a plan to use the firearm then those without a firearm in the home. What does this prove? If a person is going to suicide with a gun, knife or hanging, what difference does your anti-gun policy have on suicides? Let's take a look shall we… In Australia in 2012, a total of 2535 people suicided, 1379 by hanging, 582 by poisoning, 173 by firearms, 166 by other methods, 112 by falls, 79 with sharp objects and 44 by drowning www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/by%20Subject/3303.0~2012~Main%20Features~Method%20of%20Suicide~10011. So is that justification for taking firearms from the law-abiding is it? Let's take rope and poison away first… Re: your comment about you had an uncle in the USA who told you getting a firearm was easy. Is that it? Seriously, after I explained exactly the steps and laws in place in the USA, you base your whole argument on firearms are too easy to get in the USA on your uncle telling you so? I explained the exact laws as they apply to the USA from personal experience, I have been there, I have lived there… look up the laws there and you will clearly see them as I described... Re: your comment about my outrageous comment of firearms in the hands of the law-abiding pose no threat, once again let's take a look at the stats. Here in Australia in 2012 there were 4 accidental deaths with firearms, the lowest of any other method, so really, once again we're going to ban guns from the law-abiding are we when firearm accidents are the lowest recorded of all methods? www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/by%20Subject/3303.0~2012~Main%20Features~Method%20of%20Suicide~10011 Re: your comment about how can relaxing gun laws do any good. Well show me justification that the gun laws we have here in Australia have done anything to increase public safety? How are these laws working to stop criminals obtaining firearms nowadays? Re: your comment about "making us all safer which we are" as a response to my original question of why the big push to disarm all the law-abiding shooters. This shows your true colours, like every anti-gun person I've met, they always try to gain your confidence by saying my Dad has guns for his farm or I believe in firearms for pest control etc when really that's not the truth at all. Look at your comment, you do believe in gun confiscation despite the Australian stats I have clearly presented to you show you have no case to your argument which leads me to my final question, Why are you and your friend even bothered to be on a Facebook page designed for law-abiding shooters in this country?"

The other thing to note here is that the state of Queensland has the most liberal gun laws of all the states, it also has more guns per capita and the most pro gun politicians elected to both state and federal parliaments. Some of the other less gun friendly states have even more restrictive draconian laws the what was described here, such as mandatory number of annual range shoots to be eligible to maintain a license, severe restrictions on hunting, restrictions on the number of guns you can own etc, etc.

This just proves it, the gun laws do nothing for public safety… surprise surprise the criminal didn't have a gun licence nor was the shotgun legal but you still see these idiot anti-gunners jumping up and down saying how registration, licensing and so forth works to stop gun crime… in reality it doesn't and this incident was just a perfect example of that!

I figured as much. You have to understand here in the states we are always sold bullshit lies as truth. When I listened to Obama talk and praise the gun control in your country he as many other politicians did, make it seem as though all the people living there LOVED the idea and crime went down immediately and everything worked so well. I didn't believe a second of it and it didn't make sense to me. I live in New Jersey. Here we can own almost all types of firearms but can't carry them as you can in other states and we are trying to change that so being at that stage and then listening to what you had to say was really eye opening. Are any of your politicians trying to change the gun law back? Or at least more to your favor?

Dj Heil I know I don't have to tell you, but don't believe for a second what comes out of Barry Obama's mouth as gospel… The anti-gun lobby will quote all these figures of how the gun crime here in Australia has dropped since 96, but it has been coming down at the same rate prior to 96, they just don't publicise the stats from pre 96… The gun laws here don't work and have nothing to do with public safety, any shooter will explain that with factual examples… all it was in 96 was a bunch of anti-gun lobbyists getting that excited that they finally had a massacre to dance in the blood of victims and push their agenda… still we see continual gang related shootings on the nightly news (none of which are by law-abiding shooters obviously) and the government (because they don't know how to tackle the illegal firearm issue) come out with stupid statements like "we're reviewing the firearm laws and plan to tighten licensing etc" so that everyone "feels good" that the government are doing something when in reality it has absolutely no impact on the criminal element… I really believe your biggest threat in the US is the Bloomberg regime as money combined with emotion based comments influences the many people, even if it isn't the truth! Don't listen to them when they say we have never had a massacre in Australia since the 1996 gun laws, because it's not true, there have been plenty of shootings but the media don't report any of them as massacres… I am a proud life member of the NRA and I will give my support to you guys however possible, it would be an absolute shame to see the US fall to propaganda that's being pushed out by Bloomberg…

I would like to say that I like the fact in Australia that we have the ability to purchase and use firearms, I think it is right that it be regulated and restricted. I think that you only run into problems with regulation if you intent to use these items for a 'non genuine reason' and that it is most peoples desire for self defence that bring them into conflict with the regulations. I have lived in the US and Australia and I love both countries, however as a citizen of Australia I take some comfort in the reduced mass shootings or even perceived safety. There will always be a criminal element, there will always be tragedy involving firearms (sydney siege), however any system that allows its citizens to use the items appropriately while taking them out of the hands or making harder to obtain for the violent, insane or mental ill is worth preserving or at least perfecting. Basically if you are a law abiding not insane person you can follow the rules and use these items, and if you are anything but law abiding or not insane then it should be damn near impossible. And if your reason is just own these items to feel safe then I worry thats when accidents happen. I don't mind jumping through hoops to prove i'm not insane. Just my opinion, but I would like to say that I liked the explanation in this video, I think it was very well done.

Brett Watson don't you see a common thread here when it comes to gun laws? It's the exact same fear in the US as Australia. It's never been the "restrictions" it's always been the type and who it restricts. If the restrictions places worked on criminals I'd be all for them but they don't. They are criminals and don't follow the law. The only people gun laws effect are those who follow the law. So if the availability of guns is the same for criminals because they were getting them illegal in the first place but harder for honest citizens who wins?

Levi Voltz Actually there have been a number of mass shootings since 1996 (Hectorville, Monash University, and Sydney Cafe Siege just to name a few), not to mention the pretty horrible arson attack massacres (Churchill and Quaker Hill Nursing Home). Couple this with the fact that the crime rate is rising with home invasions, rapes, robberies, assaults, and muggings, and the murder rate hasn't really changed at all. It's about the same as it was before the 1996 legislation. So no I don't think your argument is a good case for the strict laws working. What's really sad is morons like you continue to trade liberty for a false perception of "safety" and in the end you end up with neither.

+NormanJaydendy Ratzzilla Thanks for your comments mate, no it has not changed the already downward trent in gun homicide in Australia, it is at the same rate pre-1996 to post-1996. The antis love to claim that it is due to the 1996 gun laws but that's false. If you'd like to see more on stats and links, take a look at my 'Failure of the National Firearms Agreement' video and click the link to my template letter in the description field. You will see my submission and ALL links to the real stats about gun crime here in Australia. As for inheriting a firearm, you would need to be licensed and pay for a permit to acquire to have the firearm, which will only be issued after the police at the firearms registry determine it's ok for you to have it... The red tape down here is ridiculous, all that was needed after 1996 was a licensing system to prevent metal ill people and criminals from legally walking into a gun store and purchasing a firearm. All this other rubbish of restrictions and categories has no affect on public safety when it's only licensed law abiding shooters that are affected. Take a look at New Zealand for example, one of closest neighbours... they got rid of long arm registration in the early 80s and you can own semi-auto rifles, shotguns and even buy a suppressor without a licence! They also allow full-auto firearms on a collectors licence there, yet they have a lower per capita death rate with firearms then we do in Australia (I also address this in my template letter). The laws in Australia are too over the top and setup by a previous prime minister who openly stated that he hated guns and believed that only the police and military should have them. So what do we have now? Continual news stories of criminals using firearms to commit robberies, drive by shootings and occasional homicides, meanwhile us the law abiding licensed shooter, continually gets punished with more and more restrictions whenever a criminal does something with a firearm. It is ridiculous and as a life member of the NRA, I agree and support the NRA's stance on 'no compromise' because if you give in to the antis or even allow any restriction, they will just keep going til you have nothing left...

Excellent Info, I live in WA and am looking to purchase a TAC style .22 with a pistol grip along the lines of the Ruger Precision Series which is outlawed over here. But as I have been told by various firearms stores in Perth, There are some on the "allowed list" But even after double checking with a copper friend of mine who is a recreational shooter some are debatable. I was wondering if you may be able to provide a list of say .17's and 22LR's with the above mentioned ergonomic Grips, Rests, Fishbones etc that we here in Western Australia can legally purchase. Its actually really frustrating getting excited about a purchase because someone has said they are legal here when they are not. I follow your channel closely and really hope you read this and can help clear up what we are allowed to have in the style of firearm Im talking about. Because to me the ergonomics of a pistol or AR style grip and plenty of room for rails etc make perfect sense for accuracy these days and also the weight. hope you can suggest some that arent "scary" to the people who decide whats scary and whats not.

What myth? Your guns are banned as hell. Those restrictions make owning a gun such a pain in the ass hardly anyone can have one. Except for criminals who don't follow the law anyways. Here locally where I live we just lifted the ban for the size of magazines. that means I can target shoot or hunt with a 100 round clip, if I had one. I have a concealed carry license which allows me to conceal carry a handgun up to a .50 caliber 500 Smith and Wesson Magnum revolver on my person in public about anywhere I go. As long as I can conceal it, that is. I may never need to use my gun for self defense, but I have the option to have a fighting chance if I end up in that sort of situation. For the record - I don't use a 500 Magnum for concealed carry. That would get uncomfortable very quickly. But I could if I wanted to. That is what's important. Basically. where I live, individual rights are not privileges they are rights, and we fight to keep inalienable rights. We are not sheep. We loose a few from time to time, but we never give up on getting them back. An example of getting rights back is the fact that my local just re-legalized gun suppressors, removed magazine size restrictions, shortened the course length from 12 to 8 hours for concealed carry, and several other positive changes. If I want to buy a new gun, I still need to wait about 10 minutes at the store while they do a background check, but we are working on eliminating that (This right may be tougher to get back than others). The fight to restore inalienable rights will always be constant as there will always be those trying to take them away. Punish the criminals for crimes appropriately. Murder = Jail for life, or death penalty. But no chance of release. That will drop the murder rate quite a bit. Figure out a way to reduce crimes committed, but it must be done in a way which does not infringe the inalienable rights of law abiding citizens. If you cannot eliminate a crime without infringing the inalienable rights of law abiding citizens then live with the crime, because inalienable rights are nonnegotiable. If a country does not provide it's citizens with inalienable rights then the citizens of that country are sheep, and are not free. I'm not familiar with Australian Constitution, so I am curious. As an Australian citizen, could someone list a few of your rights which are contracted to be inalienable? (This means rights which cannot be taken away or eroded by the government)

Unlike South Australian law, s420 of the NSW Crimes Act explicitly states that self-defence is not available as a defence to murder if death is inflicted to prevent criminal trespass.[15] You cannot use a gun as guns have to be locked in a safe. Any gun found outside a safe is an offence against the act.

In 1774, England banned guns & gunpowder in the 13 American colonies. April 19 1775, 8-900 English soldiers start gun confiscation in Concord & Lexington Green Mass. These were the first 2 battles of that 8 year war for independence that England almost won. This ended America's colonial history (1580, 1607-1776).

Most gun owners in Australia disagree with alot of the regulations (us included) but it is what it is, we have to work with what we have

He's also had an experience where his house alarm went on for a little too long and the police and SWAT came to his house in like 5 minutes from what he said was extremely quick, yet are slow when you really need them like a robbery or other.

Interesting ! Sounds kinda similar to what we have here in Sweden & actually even more restrictive in some regards such as mag restrictions & barrel lengths regulations. Considering what the antigunlobby are trying to do here.....seems like they´ve taken a look at the Aussie system. Thing is, registration & stringent regulations of firearms has not & will not make it safer for anyone. My guess is that Swedes, Brits & Aussies see themselves more as subjects than citizens & bow down to orders from above. We should all learn from the US & demand our rights.

The fallacy of gun control/prohibition explained. A big strong man attacks a little old man. The big strong man has gun, and the little old man has a gun. The beauty of gun right is that it doesn't matter how big and strong the attacker is, the little old man only has to aim and squeeze, so he at least stands a chance. A big strong man attacks a little old man. The big strong man doesn't have a gun, and the little old man doesn't have a gun. Unless the little old man is a master of kung fu he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell. But at least guns won't be involved, and that's what gun control is all about. A big strong man attacks a little old man. The big strong man has a gun, and the little old man doesn't have a gun. The reality of gun control is even worse than the promise because gun control laws don't apply to criminals who can get their guns on the black market like they do illegal drugs.
