Isn't there a marsupial down there that needs cuddling?


edit: by the way, from your own link...a lot of the hysteria came from OH FUCK the COMMUNISTS ARE COMING TO KILL YOU (we had our own Joe McCarthy, thankyou verymuch and no more, thankyou verymuch)

"In the 1940s and 1950s, Cold War concerns about ex-military rifles falling into the hands of communist radicals led New South Wales to place restrictions on the legal ownership of rifles of a military calibre (see: .303/25) while members of rifle clubs and military rifle clubs could own ex-military rifles. In the 1970s and 1980s these restrictions were relaxed and military style rifles (both bolt-action and semi-automatic) once again became widely available except in Western Australia and the Northern Territory."

Please keep this kind of shit up, we're learning more every day.
