And a related story about 3d printing of guns.

Where do they get illegal guns ? From the illegal gun shop of course.

[sandgroperbill]

From the police during buy backs.

From the police during buy backs.

Very few from that source actually, the bulk of the buy backs ended up in the hands of the TNI.

Are you sure?

We're only talkin'bout those that where handed in, not those that weren't.

[Franky]

O.k sorry

[RoginaJack]

If only 3% of firearms stolen were used to commit a crime, where does the other 97% come from?

[David Brown]

Those 97% are used to commit crimes in the future, to intimidate other associates in drug rings or bikie gangs or whatever, and are not likely to be easily accounted for. Heck some are probably never going to do anything sinister at all.

[Norton]

I can tell you where they're not getting them from.... My place.

So piss off Greens

Police believe these plastic parts are the components of a homemade gun.

Can anyone identify a single one of those pieces as anything out of a firearm?

[Rippah]

See the single .22lr round dropped in the photo there?

Bunch of plastic parts... Nothing to worry about.

Add a bullet to the pile WOAH HOME MADE MACHINE GUN PARTS

Wasn't me.

Wasn't me.

That's a relief. Anyone recall the story a year or so back about the post office in the Sydney suburb that was raided and they found about 20 Glocks there. That's where they come from.

More than that mate.

They reckon it was over 100 by the time they've investigated more.

Guns imported through Sylvania Waters post office

[headspace]

They just keep whacking 'em in containers and sending 'em over. A few get though, in fact quite a few get through. That's where they come from. Anywhere but from within Australia.

[Usurper]

And because the antis are too incompetent to do anything about it they target us LAFO instead

[BBJ]

You speak the truth.

[pajamatime]

dono but apparently a port Arthur firearm used was later identified by its previous owner from unique markings which was surrendered into police to be destroyed a month before the massacre occurred.

but I'm sure there was plenty of discrepancies that day...to many.

Wouldn't have been the first (nor the last) to get lost from police
