Never thought I'd see something close to home mentioned on GAF. Most AusGaf seems to be from the eastern states...

Haha I live near Midland, WA. The audio on the video in the OP sounds like what I often hear at Midland traino late on Friday nights.

A small portion of gun owners practice safe handling? Oh you Australians. Not all Americans are gun touting hillbillies riding in the back of a pickup truck. About 95% of gun owners are responsible owners. The other 5% are your criminals and psychopaths. Yeah you'll get an accidentally discharge over a firearm when someone is handling their firearm carelessly, but in that same essence. I was in the ER when someone's car crushed him because he improperly placed the car jacks. Should working on your car be banned? Paring knives are sharp and smal, they can easily be used to stab someone, lets ban those too.

No, just no. Every single sentence of this post is awful. Every single one. You should probably just let the couple gun guys who have made more intelligent, nuanced arguments in this thread speak on behalf of your side.

.................I'm going to find your house and bang on your door like a Macedonian King holding a copy of the original Star Wars Trilogy and force you to watch it again.

Okay. I don't really know the details only that you can buy one. I suppose simply having one in your possession means that the turret could be repaired. You can buy a functioning mini-gun though right?

Extremely rare but there are a couple of privately owned mini guns, they probably belong to dealers.

Unless you have a Class III Federal Firearms License (which is something that is very stringently controlled) you cannot legally own anything fully automatic that was made after 1986. Class III license holders are allowed to have a limited number of automatic weapons as "dealer samples" because they do business with law enforcement agencies, the military, etc.

The full auto stuff that can be legally owned, IE stuff made before 1986, is not cheap. Like last time I checked a civilian legal MP5 or M16 costs between $15,000 to $25,000. The people who own them are collectors with a lot of money.

You can buy grenades and automatic weapons too right? How would either of those things be considered just "defensive"?

See above. You can't own live grenades at all, those are considered "destructive devices".

Geez, it's not like we run around waving machine guns we just bought from vending machines here.

So you don't have a plan, gotcha. Not a single person has actually responded to my posts because they don't have a reasonable argument against my points. Not a single person has said how they would realistically defend themselves against someone they couldn't win a fight against.



You're right, nobody has ever been raped or murdered in a home invasion. Good to know. Ignorance is bliss.

Alright. No, I don't have a plan. I don't hold your odd notion of some militarised society at war with itself; the concept of personal armament is completely foreign to me. In the extremely unlikely event that I am the victim of violent crime, and I'm unable to overcome my assailant, I guess I'll just be the victim. Much like how I get in cars knowing there is some (indeed a relatively high) chance I'll be in a horrible accident, or generally rouse myself in the morning knowing I have no iron-clad guarantee it won't be my last. We take our chances, no? The fact remains that, statistically, I'm less likely to be murdered where I am now than pretty much anywhere in the US, guns or not. I'll keep it that way thanks.

I am willing to sacrifice individual liberties for collective benefit. You are not. These sort of philosophical differences are a more fundamental element of the social fabric of nations than individual policies of like gun laws and public health care.

There is none. I go back to court in June, so unless he comes back there's nothing more I can add. I can update in June if you guys are interested.

Please do. Even if it's nothing major, this Aussie Odyssey has been worth watching unfold.

If anyone is still interested I was bringing the bin back in today and the owner was in my neighbours unit. Told me the dude has been kicked out and there is a new tenant moving in. So I guess that's good. Still court in June though.

Wow I just randomly searched for this thread a minute after you posted that. Good to hear.

It's still Mayfield mate so your new neighbour will probably be a smackie or another loony. Or both. With children. Loud children who are just mini-shitbags modelled after their deadbeat parents.

Get outta there, keep running through Waratah (don't stop for anything and keep your money in your sock and your sock in your underpants) and seek the promised land and cheap unit rent of sleepy suburb Lambton where even the pensioners take no guff and will sock an ice-head bogan if they get lippy.

That guy's voice is really disturbing, almost like he is possessed. Reminded me somewhat of the dude from Poltergeist.

Yeah, wow, he sounds far, far out in orbit around Planet Foster`s or something. Insane. I`ve seen this thread before but first time actually peeking in. Listening to the enhanced audio as I write this, god damn, dude sounds absolutely mental.

Got a letter from the real estate today claiming they asked me to forward the event number and report of the incident so I didn't have to pay for the locksmith. They never did, and are now asking me to pay $500 for it. Yeah, I don't think so.

Beyond the fact that it's ridiculous to ask you for that, how in the hell does a lock cost $500?

Court was this friday and I was waiting until then to update, but I just got a call from the police saying that he has pleaded gulity and now I don't have to attend. Made my day. Didn't bother to ask anymore questions, just happy this is (hopefully) over.

Congrats! I followed this from the beginning, and I'm glad it worked out OK. Scary, indeed.

Maybe it was him disguising himself as a cop...
