so are the above things that you need a license to own in oz, or that are banned outright?

[jack404]

banned unless written exemptions ( hard to get) butchers now put their knives in locked tool boxes to avoid hassles and being dragged away to do a please explain , i do too until i get out of town and then, and only then do i put my knife on my belt...

[H-D]

Jack with all these wonderful laws yall's violent crime must have dropped off to almost zero am I right? You should be glad they are protecting you from those deadly slingshots....

[jack404]

yeah , its wonderful ..

gun crime is up 4000% ( no exageration)

knife crime , beyond the limits of reporting

new crime called home invasion whereby someone with a gun kicks your door in and takes what they want at gunpoint or knife point

while if caught they get 18 months at most maybe 5 years for killing someone with a illegal gun , a guy who does not lock his gun safe gets 5 years ..

write a bad check to the government and you'll get 8 years

yeah its wonderful and folks wonder why i fight all this so hard ...

but to be honest some days .. i really just think **** it and think if i headed bush and never saw another person i'd be just fine

today 40,000 government employee's march to protect their cushy payments , but try getting folks to march to defend their rights of gun ownership or self defence , it take months of hard work to sort , but it took the socialist a week to get 40,000 marching over $1:05 a week

we been brainwashed too long

[jwrauch]

I read some time ago that the crooks firearm of choice in a # of areas where all guns are banned is the submachine gun since penalties aren't much different for firearms offenses. JR

[jack404]

Handgun's and AK's yeah

[HunterAlpha1]

make your own then

[jack404]

[cycloneman]

This about sums it up.

It‘s a shame that we can’t ban the pointy-headed idiots in City Hall.

Remember: It’s no fun being stupid unless you can prove it publicly.

City Hall is packed with people having fun (as is the State House).


I say go ahead and ban them. Starting with the 2 boneheads in the video. No more steak knife for them. No more knife in kitchen, anywhaere.

No more razor blade too. No more shave face or legs. Hairy pits for you ladies.

Well--heck. Sounds like just about any piece of small diameter tubing
or pipe would be in violation. How do you folks plumb your buildings
for running water???? I used a piece of 1/2" ID steel hydraulic tubing
about 5 ft long to good effect as a blowgun for years.

Although I can't recall the movie, does anyone remember the one where the guy used a sharp pencil to take out a guard and escape? I can sharpen a hard dowel on a rock (yes, I've done it) and it holds a point in really tough materials. Ever try making a flint knife? it's NOT easy, but it ain't hard with a little practice.
Point is, the knife is a primitive weapon, simply a refined product of what nature allows us to pick up in some cases.
Guess I'd better gather up some really good rocks. Or is that soon to be banned too?

[jack404]

thats the UN for you , try getting a permit to make gun's , especially in this state ..

after 2 years i decided to stay just making BP rifles here and to travel out of state to make CF rifles , and pistols , hahhahahahaha forget it , then theres the taxes on all i make , and i have to compete with italy and india and china? THAT's why folks think i'm a few sandwiches short of a picnic ..

we had a radio jock talk about his dad ( a 80+ yr old retired gent ) sitting on his porch feeding parrots and shooting at sea gulls with a sling shot to stop them stealing the parrots food , cops where there in 2 hours and a $5000 fine and criminal charge later ... thats gun control
