#3 Don't forget this handgun buyback is after the Australian government took away rifles and shotguns a few years ago. You are allowed to own a double barrel shotgun(no pump action - even if modified for only two rounds) or a bolt action .22 rifle but only if you can show that you "need" it for either target shooting or vermin control. If you live in a city or town you have to get a letter from a farmer to say you do vermin control on his property. Some farmers have between a platoon and a company of vermin controllers, so rabbits beware!
I think it was science fiction writer A.E.Van Vogt in "The Weapon Shops of Issher" - "the right to own weapons is the right to be free"

#4 Van Vogt RULES!

I'd worry though, Mike, that the government will be taking away the double barrels and the plinkin' .22s soon enough...if you know this dodge, I'm sure the bozoourrocrats do too; go take a look at what Canada did.

But...on a more cheerful note...the UN says the US has the highest ratio of guns to people in the world...wooooohoooo!!! We're at like 96% and approaching parity. I am SO proud of America. Ever wonder why Ba'athist elite Republican Guard muwatta numbnuts won't be beatin the wimmenfolk in Austin anytime soon...they'd get ventilated in a heartbeat!!

#5 "We don’t shoot these guns. "

I think I have determined the problem. When government curtails your rights, aren't you supposed to dissuade them (PAC's, the polls, then gunfire?) I am not advocating violence, but isnt gun ownership a guarantee against intrusive government?

If you arent willing to shoot, then you absolutely will loose your guns.
