Not sure how you were seeing the post, I had to use my VPN and connect to Texas to be able to see the post, otherwise I was getting:
Sorry. The administrator has banned your IP address. To contact the administrator click here


But that is a serious mistreatment of a firearm...

Yeah that's rough.

Watch some u tube videos of Steve Lee hunting pigs and you'll see him run over his rifle with his bike several times.

Looks like he had it on full auto or something, that flash suppressor looks bloody ordinary too :lol: can't say I'd ever mistreat any of my firearms like that, just ain't gonna happen.

Yeah see that is just terrible firearms treatment right there. Sounds and looks like he has no respect for it...or potentially any other gun for that matter lol besides it does not matter if it's cheap it's all about safety and efficient function.

Australia prides itself on a gun culture of safety and firearms respect...if you ever see s**t like that here, get your belt out lol

Nothing I have is pricey enough to be babied and that's the way I like it.


Babied? Looks like he's been using it as a crowbar.

It wouldn't matter what it was or how much it costs I still won't treat stuff like crap, I ain't got money to waste so I make sure I look after things well. :thumbsup:

The old addage a penny saved is a penny earned. Look after your stuff and you'll save a pretty penny.

But thats not the point in this case. Whatever he did, chances are it wasn't safe

I can't believe that is just wear and tear from "rough treatment".

Is it just me or does it looks like it's been crushed/dragged under something heavy?

My guess is it was put/left somewhere stupid like on the driveway to be packed up and reversed over or something.

Is it just me or is he taking a photo of an abused and damaged rifle whilst basically looking down the barrel?

There's something odd about that bloke, he seems to try and deliberately piss people off. Supposed to be some sort of religious fella too. He often has a cross hanging from his neck that looks too heavy to go swimming with. He was on that ABC show "Sleeping With The Enemy" and he showed up at a anti gun anti hunting group with a Tshirt with GLOCK all over it?

When I hear of an anti gun rally I usually show up with a rifle, a sidearm, and 300 of my closest armed friends :)

There might be a few Glock shirts.

We can't carry our firearms in a situation like that but I might have to start turning up in full camo with every hunting accessory I can carry :lol:

Anyone else carrying on the day to show their support Title_II or were you flying solo?

I just notice no one else has anything in the photo as far as I can see :lol:

I think it is safe to say almost everybody was carrying. As for open carrying, perhaps 25%, rifles, probably 5%.

They won't check rifles when you go into the capitol building so there was good reason not to bring them for most people unless they made arrangements.

Isn't sure that that's actually true, you are licenced to own and carry your firearms, I go into town to buy guns and can carry them to the car, you can carry them to the range.
Not saying the police wouldn't get major pissed but I don't think an unloaded, slung and lawfully owned rifle would be technically illegal at a rally.
I'll go now and give the rego a looking at.

Maybe you would also be visiting a gunshot at the same time :unknown:


I know you are talking about Australia, but for the sake of clarity, my rifle was loaded :) I don't know anybody that carries unloaded guns. Unless of course they are long guns boxed up in the car, no reason to have a gun loaded that you can't use.

Maybe not in the firearms but I know there is something about ".......in a manner likely to cause fear" in one of them. If not the firearms act maybe the criminal code act?

Where ever it is, I think you can be sure you will get more from the cops than dirty looks if you're walking around town with a rifle slung across your back for all to see.

He's so damn proud of it too. I bet he was the kind of kid his Momma didn't want him to play with. :allegedly:

I think it would.

Pretty sure the legislation around possessing (that's carrying around, not owning) has wording around genuine reason for doing so?

e.g. on the way to hunting spot, on the way to target range, on the way to gunsmith etc. I didn't think it was legal to be driving around, carrying, just because you could.

Fashion accessory for rally isn't on the ok list there I'm pretty sure.

I kind of like that. :)

But just to be clear. When legislators have to line up three rows deep in front of anywhere from 500 to 9,000 angry armed people (depending on the year, there is ebb and flow) you probably don't consider hundreds or thousands of guns at the entrance to the capitol as fashion statements. It's a warning.
