    Is that supposed to contradict something from my post?

    And yet, incredibly, many claim that imposing strict gun control laws on Australians would keep guns out of the hands of criminals.

    "Assault rifles and machine guns are being seized at an alarming rate. Photo: Penny Stephens
    The Soviet-era assault rifle is the weapon of choice for Third World armies and terrorists, but this one was destined for the streets of Melbourne.

    The notion that a military-grade weapon could be in the hands of local criminals is shocking, but police have already seized at least five machine guns and assault rifles in the past 18 months. The AK-47 was not among them. Only a fortnight ago, law enforcement authorities announced they were hunting another seven assault rifles recently smuggled into the country. Weapons from the shipment have been used in armed robberies and drive-by shootings.

    These are just a handful of the ***thousands of illicit guns*** fuelling a wave of violent crime in the world’s most liveable city."

    Gun Control = "Gun City"
