Re: This didn't happen in Australia...not.
I quite agree, in that I could never bring myself to hunt native animals (although the inland population of red kangaroos is very high, and is sustainable in terms of hunting for meat)
However, there are plenty of feral pigs, goats, rabbits and foxes...

...And bigassed spiders and monstrous reptiles of every stripe...What do you do with them after you shoot them? You pretty much have to age a goat for 40 days @ 40f before they're fit to eat. How the fuck do you handle a camel spider too big to fit in your truck?

Re:
Good lock with getting close enough to one to stab them. We cull thousands of kangaroos - especially grey and red ones - most years in areas where they become too numerous. What can't be sold to meat wholesalers goes to pet food factories. The meat tastes good, is lean and goes well with cranberry sauce. We do the culling with rifles. The 1996 buyback scheme only involved 15% of the total privately owned firearms. The other 85% remain legally owned in private hands. Seth goes to great pains to ignore this inconvenient fact in order to keep asserting that firearms are banned in Australia, but then facts never impinge on his opinions unless they are manufactured to support his fantasies.piscator wrote:I wouldn't wanna hurt no kangaroo...

And does this law prevent criminals from carrying certain types of knives? Or guns?JimC wrote:Nope - already, there are laws which mean people can be fined when carrying certain types of knives in urban situations.
Don't answer that was a rhetorical question, the answer to which is "No, of course it doesn't, it only prevents law-abiding people from carrying knives for self-defense.
Why?Beyond that would clearly be absurd, as you well know.

Re: This didn't happen in Australia...not.
Can I openly carry my Parker double wherever I want, including metropolitan areas? How about my Sako TRG-42 .338 Lapua "hunting rifle?"JimC wrote:We'll simply keep to our current status quo of heavy restrictions on hand gun ownership, while having plenty of opportunities for hunting with rifles and shot guns.
In a pinch I'd substitute a long gun for a handguns, since in theory my handgun is only for fighting my way to my rifle, which is a very effective self-defense weapon as well.
Don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question, the answer to which is "No, of course not, because nobody "needs" to carry a rifle or shotgun around in public and it would just frighten the panty-waists in town if they did."
You see, it's not about hunting, it's about self-defense against human predators (with snakes, funnel-web spiders and dingoes being somewhat further down the list)
I note you avoid the question of whether you would maintain your anti-handgun stance if you were forced to watch your wife and children being raped and murdered in front of you. If there were a handgun available, say an illegal one carelessly left lying about by the rapist, would you pick it up and shoot him with it, or at least threaten to shoot him with it, or would you stand on your anti-handgun principles and refuse to touch it because the law makes it illegal for you to possess it, even to save your life?I know the US situation is not going to change in the foreseeable future. Likewise ours...

No, you cannot.
Therefore it is perfectly correct to say that firearms are banned in Australia when discussing the issue of an armed citizenry and self defense.
A hunting rifle that has to be kept disassembled, unloaded, with the ammunition stored separately, in a locked and approved (and physically inspected) gun safe at all times unless on a licensed hunt is not a firearm that's of any use to anyone for its most important purpose: defending oneself and ones family from violent criminals.
