Yes.....but gun laws are not based on community safety. In fact many of the gun laws/restrictions go against community safety. Money and Employment......

Las Vegas filled Australian media for a week but like you said there was not much about the bombing. Of course we also had the usual crap about Australian gun laws whenever there is a shooting in the US. Gun stuff is good for the media as apart from the media having no gun knowledge neither...

A bit of gun stuff to help keep you on the straight and narrow when watching the news, reading the paper etc.:D The 5.56 (223 Remington when in a hunting rifle) and the cartridge for the M16 and similar rifles, will be described in various terms such as high calibre, extremely powerful, the...

Australian gun laws introduced in 1996 show how dumb politicians, the media, Gun Control Australia and the non shooting public are when it comes to guns. Basically we have a system where guns/calibres are in groups such as A, B and so on for the licencing system and whether you can own a...

Not so. In fact just the opposite, the same as muzzle brakes. However, you won't pick it up on a chronograph for a few shots as velocity difference is less than the shot to shot variation. In some cases velocity is reduced, a lot and because reduced loads are used. In some cases (most) this is...

The term "silencer" really only applies to the 22 rim fire with sub sonic ammo. Also to centre fires with very small powder capacity and where the ammunition is loaded so that the muzzle velocity is below the speed of sound. So when above the speed of sound you have the very loud rack of the...

It is interesting to compare Australia and New Zealand. Mass shootings in both countries are clustered in the 80s and 90s. In 1996 Australia introduced the gun laws but New Zealand did not. Mass shootings are defined as 4 or more victims. Note that after 1997 Australia had one in 2014 but NZ...

I will be thinking of all the people killed a(nd their families) on the road, cancer victims, other shootings etc. and etc. and etc. from across the world that have died since last Sunday American time.......you know, the ones that don't make the news.

Well in Australia that has been the case and the stuff gets worse each year. Actually if community safety was the goal then some of the stuff, especially in Western Australia is just the opposite. Non shooters in Australia think it is just about banned semi autos and military style etc...

Agree. The world (and especially Australia) is full of.....if it saves one life, saves one investment, saves one "whatever".... then it is worth it.

Guns aside, where America is great is that even with a 300 million plus population it is very regulation free in all areas. For example, the sorts of cars you can get road registered. Australia is terrible. With cars the top Caterham 7 can't be registered and we are probably the only country...

You are wrong about semi autos and hunting......depending on the hunting. For example, in Australia (before they were banned) a 22 rim fire semi auto was the best for rabbits and semi auto centre fires for mobs of pigs. Of course if the shooter is into extreme range shooting and having a go...

I assume that you are aware that if an American dies by a gun shot the chances of it being as a result of a mass shooting is virtually zero. But there are many factors. For example, I was born in 1948 and literally grew up with guns because my father was a keen shooter. In the 1960s and 1970s...

Of course not because they are extremely difficult to own, at least legally. Even if they were available they would be a very poor choice and if you knew about guns you would know why. Your comment "Or do they like their game pre-minced? " demonstrates your lack of knowledge and experience...

Many years ago in central Australia a semi trailer driver went to a motel with his wife and kid. Obviously problems had been brewing as a big domestic fight. He had no gun so went outside to his semi and then drove it through his room and of course it went through the rest of the motel. With a...

If he never had a GP LMG then might have had one of these conversions of semi automatic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7DTjSla-O8

Some of you need to learn what is needed for a Class 3 weapon in America. As I posted on another thread a lot of you would like North Korea.....no private gun ownership......none at all, only the gov’t has guns.

Over the years I have noticed that to be generally the case with Access. I am only guessing but I suspect it is because Access is really a developer's program and blokes who can do Access will source all the info they need and that info will extend well beyond a general release by Microsoft.

As many of you will know with a petrol engine in general you use 15 parts of air by weight to 1 part petrol and thus 3 pounds of oxygen to 1 pound of petrol. I know 1 imperial gallon of liquid oxygen weighs a bit more than 10 pounds and about 8 pounds for petrol but just to make things easy we...

By the way Doc, your atheism appears to (in general) appear to relate to God. Does your atheism extend to any other form of gods or supernaturals?
