Freedoms and "rights" are normally removed one small piece at a time, this is a giant hack at them that everyone should be very concerned about.

There’s certainly been criminal manufacture of guns in aus, particularly nsw.
But we’re in the age of ice now. Have been deep in it for the last 5 years or so. All the precursors come from Asia.
Ice makes them all super paranoid and that’s where illegal firearms and parts imports exploded.
Moving into the age of designer party drugs. The laws can’t keep up. They simply alter the chemical structure whilst retaining the effects. Cheap synthesised pharmaceuticals. Again, all comes out of Asia.
Where’s theres drugs, theres illegal guns every time now. Gangs and crime syndicates can’t operate without them anymore.
Asian syndicates looking to expand supply that demand.
In the last year the pandemic increased this boom significantly. Can’t smuggle interstate. Australia post really has been the method of choice for some time now.
Asian drugs and gun parts are dirt cheap. The crooks can afford the percentage seized and still a huge turnover. They anticipate as much.
The nsw bill is outdated and based on old information that was largely speculation anyway.
Victoria is taking a different approach. New specialised task force with real intelligence started up late last year and it’s already kicking goals.
