@whyamimrpink78 In Australia you can own almost any gun that is available for sale & ownership so long as you meet the licencing requirements for owning that gun. Its sort of like the licenses for vehicles - motor cycles, cars, trucks, buses and taxis all get driven on our roads but they each have different licences. Every gun that is available for sale in Australia gets classified into one of a list of categories. To own guns from a specific category you have get a license for that category. Most importantly you have to have a reason for getting the license to own a gun. Farmers have to deal with pests and injured animals that's reason and allows certain guns Professional shooters who deal with feral animals have a reason to own certain guns. People want to compete in shooting sports that's a reason to own certain guns. People want to hunt ducks, deer, pigs,... etc. that's a reason to own certain guns "I want a gun" is not a reason. There is a giant misapprehension that Australians are not allowed to own guns. That's WRONG. So long as you can get the license you can own the gun. We just don't make getting any firearm license easy.

And so you know. Before the gun buy back after the Port Arthur Massacre Australia had the grand total of 1 Olympic medal in 100 years. Since the new licensing laws we have won 10 Olympic medals including 5 gold and 2 of those were won by girls. Having strong gun laws seems to have HELPED our aim and our Olympic results.
