ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Some really nice rifles in that pic, shame they'll be chopped up. Coming to a State near you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 "Our fear is that these firearms are high-caliber firearms that if they got into the wrong hands they could certainly be used in a nasty way." Guns in the hands of governments have killed millions. I'm betting these guns have killed nobody. So I guess that makes government the "wrong hands". 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nlacy 692 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Handgun(s), as in multiple... C'mon people. Hmmm...when it says "Among the 328 weapons were military-style automatic rifles, some of which were worth up to $50,000 each, and Glock handguns worth $10,000, police said." I'm taking that to mean individual guns because of the word "each." However, I concede they could be referring to $50,000 per rifle, and $10,000 for all the Glocks. Hopefully I'm miss reading it. But is also says a $3 million arsenal (including 4.2 tons of ammo). So 1000 rds of .223 (trying to think of a common round, slightly on the lighter side) weighs 28 lbs, I come up with 4.2 tons being about 300,000 rounds. Let's say in Australia bullets are $2 each because maybe they are super hard to get, that's still only $600,000. So there's $2.4 million in guns. With 328 guns, that's an average of $7,300 per gun. Feel free to check my math, but I think they mean per Glock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) It's the telescopic sights that scare me! I can believe this happened. You won't be taking mine. I have pretty strong feelings, when it comes to property rights... and the safety of my family. Edited November 29, 2013 by Sim_Player 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 And at least two on the right side appear to be break barrel air rifles. Australians are safe again thank goodness! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Yep, a couple of air rifles, double barrel shotguns, lots of nice hunting rifles... Is the one on the lower right a lever-action shotgun? I know machine guns are expensive, but $50k?! Is it a crew-served weapon?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BpS12 512 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 They were licensed for 71 guns. I count maybe 45. The AK pistol is minus the trigger assembly and safety, thus inoperable. Most the others are bolt actions, airguns and 22s. They mentioned a MP5 that I don't see. Unless they're talking about that thing that looks like an Archangel'd 10/22. I've a friend that thinks his bolt action 308 will be safe from the gun grabbers he supports after a AWB. An AWB would only be the beginning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 You mean his high caliber sniper rifle? We can't have dangerous military weapons like that in civilian hands. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I met two guys from Australia a couple years ago, at a race I used to attend in Florida and they said Glocks go for $4000 plus on the black market over there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Judging from how the weapons were stored I dont think these guys thought they were in violation. Not buried in a cache but laying in the storage sheds. Seems the Aussies have learned from their American counterparts actions in the war on drugs, guns, etc. Inflate and exaggerate ad infinitum. How are we doing in learning our lessons? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sdustin 578 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 10k for a glock sounds right just because they are banned. Look at ak mags in the 90s they were 90 to 150 each now they are 10 bucks. Same goes for machine guns they are only expensive because they were banned. Even a crew served belt fed would be affordable compared to a mac 10 on the market now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
storm6490 2,768 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Damn shame. Just met some nice farmers from north central Australia. They kept all their guns and rifles. They have thousands of rounds. They said the populated areas have gun control and the rural areas have bigger things to worry about like predators, overpopulation of animals, feed and water. They could give a shit less about the law and keep to themselves. Only a scum bag would disarm people who have a global inherent right to defend themselves. G-d gave man the ability to produce weapons to defend themselves and their property. Anybody who tries to take away your ability to fight is the enemy. Will you give up or take one for the team? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who will protect us from the military and police when they go rogue? I met someone who lives in Alaska and carries a .44 magnum in case a Kodiak bear or moose threaten him. The federal government prefers that he gives up his life rather than defend it. Australia had followed Britain in banning guns and crime has risen dramatically since then (just like many US cities).
