Did you read about the buy back in Australia? Yepppp
Look at all the restrictions, but yehhhh you can technically own firearms. And you are comfortable giving the Attorney General in this country the authority to add and take away from a list like this.
Not, me. I won't ever turn them in.
Firearms in Australia are grouped into categories set out in the National Firearm Agreement, with different levels of control. The categories are:
- Category A: Rimfire rifles (not semi-automatic), shotguns (not pump-action or semi-automatic), air rifles, and paintball gun. A "Genuine Reason" must be provided for a Category A firearm.
- Category B: Centrefire rifles (not semi-automatic), muzzleloading firearms made after 1 January 1901. Apart from a "Genuine Reason", a "Genuine Need" must be demonstrated, including why a Category A firearm would not be suitable.
- Category C: Self-loading rimfire rifles holding 10 or fewer rounds and pump-action or self-loading shotguns holding 5 or fewer rounds. Category C firearms are strongly restricted: only primary producers, occupational shooters, collectors and some clay target shooters can own functional Category C firearms.
- Category D: Self-loading centrefire rifles, pump-action or self-loading shotguns holding more than 5 rounds. Functional Category D firearms are restricted to government agencies and a few occupational shooters. Collectors may own deactivated Category D firearms.
These categories – A,B,C,D and H were those determined by the NFA. The others listed here are determined by the states that have implement them at their own discretion.
- Category H: Handguns including air pistols and deactivated handguns. Neither South Australia nor Western Australia require deactivated handguns to be regarded as handguns after deactivation. This situation[when?] prompted the deactivation and diversion of thousands of handguns to the black market in Queensland[vague] – the loophole[which?] shut since 2001) This class is available to target shooters and certain security guards whose job requires possession of a firearm. To be eligible for a Category H firearm, a target shooter must serve a probationary period of 6 months using club handguns, after which they may apply for a permit. A minimum number of matches yearly to retain each category of handgun and be a paid-up member of an approved pistol club. [3]
Target shooters are limited to handguns of .38 or 9mm calibre or less and magazines may hold a maximum of 10 rounds. Participants in certain "approved" pistol competitions may acquire handguns up to .45", currently Single Action Shooting and Metallic Silhouette. IPSC shooting is approved for 9mm/.38/.357 sig, handguns that meet the IPSC rules, but larger calibres are not approved for IPSC handgun shooting contests in Australia.[4] Category H barrels must be at least 100mm (3.94") long for revolvers, and 120mm (4.72") for semi-automatic pistols unless the pistols are clearly ISSF target pistols; magazines are restricted to 10 rounds. Handguns held as part of a collection were exempted from these limits.
- Category R/E: Restricted weapons, such as machine guns, rocket launchers, full automatic self loading rifles, flame-throwers, anti-tank guns, Howitzers and other artillery weapons can be owned by collectors in some states provided that these weapons have been rendered permanently inoperable. They are subject to the same storage and licensing requirements as fully functioning firearms.
There is no buyback in Obama's gun control agenda. No American would lose a single gun. Not one.
Sure! Then, what would they like to do next! I am sure they would just stop. I have some beachfront property in Arizona for sale.There is no buyback in Obama's gun control agenda. No American would lose a single gun. Not one.

Oh and if they ban something what does that mean?
Me? You are saying Obama would never take the guns. Why he just wants to do this and that.no, you're just making stuff up, and can't stop doing so. you make up stuff to defend the stuff you make up.

Sure OK. Just admit it you don't think people should have guns and you trust the government when it is your side that is in power.
Oh, and you don't want to admit why the 2nd Amendment is in place.
None of the above equate to "need"........There is no valid reason or need for anyone outside of the military or law enforcement to own an automatic rifle.
I am not going to because you will come up with some other criteria.
You know it is there. Don't want to admit it.
Here you go. One more time:
With a link to the DOJ memo.

At one time it was illegal to be black in Ohio as well. The North loved the low priced cotton for their factories.
Oh and I guess the well regulated militia was needed in the North to control the Irish immigrants that came in as well.
Who runs the DOJ?
What branch of govt?
