A lot of Australians still have firearms. At present there are approximately 3.2 million registered firearms. The majority are bolt action and lever action.
Semi automatic rifles are allowed for use by farmers and professional shooters for pest destruction, ie pigs,roos,wild dogs ect.
There are also estimated to be between 1.5 million to over 4 million unregistered firearms,many of them are semi automatics.
The reason for the discrepancy in the number of unregistered firearms is due to the lack of adequate records before registration started in New South Wales and Victoria in 1986 and the other States in 1996.
The Australian Authorities know this and they realise there is nothing they can really do about it. The fact that after all this time after firearm registration was introduced and the unregistered firearms owned by law abiding people rarely if ever are used in the commission of crime allows the Authorities to keep up the pretence that firearm control works.
This keeps the firearm control zealots happy in their ignorance.
The people that use Australia as an example that the US should follow are being very dishonest in an attempt to deceive Americans into accepting gun control.
No fucking way a teacher did this. Not without some sort of MK Ultra programming. Especially since nearly 100% of Aussies gave up their guns.
I'm calling shenanigans.

Dishonesty, from those who want to disarm law abiding free peoples? Noooo waaaayy
Yeah, I agree. That would never happen. We can trust our Governments. They love us and care for us.
Don't they?
Well people always have the best intentions so of course government will too! They would never do something intentionally evil, duh!
