No, Really, We Only Want Your Guns . . .

Yep. The gun control lobby says that they only want to get rid of the "bad" guns.

And the guns rights lobby says that this is a slippery slope because they will eventually say ALL guns are bad and must go. Then they will go after other weapons as well.

Well . . . get your sliding shoes on folks!

Oz has some of the most restrictive gun laws around. First handguns, then rifles, then shotguns, then . . .

SWORDS!

Now they are banning swords for cryin' out loud!

Herald Sun: New law to ban swords [ 09mar04 ]

SWORDS will be outlawed from July under new laws to curb the growing use of the weapons in street brawls.

Police Minister Andre Haermeyer said the ban would help police overcome a culture of young people arming themselves with swords.
"For most people running around the street carrying swords there is absolutely no reason for them to be carrying those weapons," he said yesterday.

From July, anyone found possessing or selling a sword without a permit will face up to six months' jail and fines of up to $12,000.
