The kid's on to something....
If law abiding citizens can
not be trusted with a manually operated shotgun...firing a massive one ounce payload of lead with an effective range in the metres/ up to several dozen metres -
then how on earth could we reciprocate the trust in our government with rapid fire (Automatic) 40mm high explosive advanced freakin programmable! projectile
with an effective range of over 1500m and a cyclic rate of 300rpm!!
I say its bad enough we 'allow' our government to administer the civilian population with Automatic firearms; should do the count of government owned (non-ADF) mp5, m4/ar15 class of weaponry.....and how many sniper rifles are possessed for use against civilians!! (Makes you think doesnt it) "Oh we need all that to fight crime right, just like restricting Adlers was to fight crime/terrorism (read legitimate licensed shooters more like it)
I say a petition, if we put in an effort on the scale of the gay love marriage movement, surely we could stop the import of this deadly killing machine before the schedule mid 16 on-shore arrival, wonder what the green tards will have to say about this new rapid fire killing machine??
If the Adler was a terrorist threat even though the import of any LICENSED civilian firearm is highly regulated 'from cradle to the grave' with every movement, transaction and storage location thoroughly documented and OVERSEEN....then what about these compact units, several hundred stored around the country, (no doubt more than e few will find their way straight to the sand pit) So secure that the ADF has an inventory of 'misplaced equipment'.....dont forget in the past even a number of ADF rocket launches have found their way into illegitimate hands...NOTHING is secure.
