Most of you may not be aware but when the 96 laws came in govt wanted even more guns and gun types banned than they ended up with. A core of people got together to fight against it and the ability for us to own at least some guns is thanks to them. Mike McGuire who posts on this forum is one such gent who went in to bat for everyone. As far as I am concerned these blokes are national heros and should be part of Australia day awards, OAMS, the works.

Conversely there were several notable Australian gun writers who came out on the other side of the fence. . Happy to sell semi-autos down the tube.
