Banning firearms never really works. When Governments try to do that, the firearms owned by law abiding people go underground.
Australia is a good example. Before semi automatic firearms were banned in New South Wales and Victoria in 1986 and then in the other States and Territories in 1996, there were no adequate records kept.
The only records necessary were people had to have a shooters licence in some States.
In 1996 all firearms had to be registered.
Legal firearm ownership has steadily increased since 1996. At present, legal firearms number over 3.2 million.
The number of Illegal, unregistered firearms is believed to be from 1.5 million up to 4 million, many of them semi automatics.
The Authorities know this, but keep quiet about it so the anti firearm people are blissfully unaware and comfortable in their ignorance.
The anti firearm lobby in America, use Australia as an example to attempt to shame and deceive firearm owning Americans into allowing the second amendment to be overturned.
