Australia: Replica guns now regulated

**Gunco** · 10-02-2009, 09:30 AM

Replica firearms will be treated as the real thing under tough new laws introduced yesterday.Imitation firearms, or copies of genuine guns, can now only be bought from licensed gun dealers - the same laws which apply to genuine guns - following changes to the Firearms Act 1977.

Now think about this:

Before there was a demand for imitation guns, because the penalty for having one wasn't the same as having a REAL gun. Now they have erased all the demand for fake guns (way to go!!!!) and instead created more demand for real guns... I mean if you are going to do the time for the crime you might as well get the real deal!

Critical Thinking... It's a skill that even Australians should learn.

Pretty soon you'll need a permit to stick out your pointer finger and thumb and pretend its a gun.
