Surprisingly, the buy back did not end all guns in Australia. Still legal to buy rifle or pistol, just heavily regulated. A 30-day cooling off period before you can get the gun you order. Also, no high capacity magazines or large caliber. And rifles need to be bolt action, unless the right license is attained for semi-auto.
Have you seen anyone with guns? Did these measures basically end practical gun ownership? Not on TV - actually see with your own eyes.
Regardless, these rules are completely unacceptable. Its absurd to agree to a thief's demands to only defend yourself in certain ways.
I'm an American living in Australia and I own a gun and my brother has multiple guns 😏
There's some other annoying rules required for gun ownership, though. Must have a safe that's bolted to floor. Keys cannot be nearby. And for pistol, must be member of a range to regular visit.
Tbh that's not as bad as I thought. How much does the range cost?
Not bad for annual price, mine is $300/yr
