He is of the opinion that a high calibre permit is required. WTF, drive by shooters do not apply for permits, they source their pistol, but mostly automatic rifles, AK47 from elsewhere. Anyway lucky there are no .50 DE anywhere, mostly not in containers from some far flung corner of the globe. That would make them illegal imports and they could be prosecuted for such items. I am also aware that in some far flung state south of Melbourne they are having issues in owning .45 calibre. Guess we all know where they should migrate to.
Illegal availability wasn't the question nor did she imply illegally obtained firearms were the problem. She asserted something totally different and quite idiotic.
To quote directly from Ms Lees' mouth and the article:
"A gun called the 'hand cannon' capable of firing five shots in less than one second is still [b]LEGALLY for sale in Australia"[/b]

You really need to get your facts right.
In direct answer to your post- I do not believe Ms LEE's assertion that .50 cal Desert Eagles are readily available LEGALLY.
I can legally own .45's as I simply renew my exemption each year, I was fairly sure it was the same australia wide, the reason you have to put up with that low powered slug of a .38 super.
l will wade out of this now.
