Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Australia Getting Hunting Rifles into Australia

You're not wrong. Bloke's an idiot.

Apparently neither history nor current affairs are strong suits of yours.

What has Australia done for America? Well, just for starters, when your country was attacked by Japan we were the first country to declare war on Japan to support you. Yes, that is right, we supported you when you were attacked, not the other way around. One hour after Japanese bombers started attacking Pearl Harbor our Prime Minister declared "from one hour ago, Australia has been at war with the Japanese Empire"

We have also supported you in the various wars you have got yourselves involved in since then, sending our young men and women to put their lives on the line in wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and several others. We also have nearly 200 of our firefighters risking their lives fighting massive fires in California right now, far from the first time we've lent a hand in such activity. Australia also invests heavily in the US - the fifth largest investor in your economy, putting in over $600 billion.

We contribute our share to defence, and always have. This includes operating joint defence bases, satellite ground stations and other facilities, training bases and joint training exercises, and when the US has called on us to assist in its defence we have always answered the call.

You may like to think that the US won WWII, but that war had been going for over two years already before the US got involved. America stood by as Europe was invaded, and as Britain and others who might have thought themselves allies of the US were under massive attack, only getting involved when war was declared on it. Other countries committed more men as a percentage of population, and lost more men as a percentage of population too - including Australia, and the war would not have been won without all of those contributions and sacrifices. Your breathtaking ignorance is an insult to the memory of all who fought against the Axis powers, including that of your own countrymen.

Dan, I have to agree with you, and it pains me...The US Army sent special troops to Papua New Guinea to by trained in the art of jungle fighting by those who were considered the best in the world in jungle combat.

Although New Guinea isn’t Australia, it is believed that many of the instructors at this training camp were Australians. These American trained up troops returned from New Guinea and entered the war in the pacific theatre becoming known as the “Alamo Scouts”...

America’s first specialized force tasked with chasing the Japanese all over the Philippine Islands under General Walter Krueger.
My father was a Alamo Scout and said they were some of the best fighting men he’d ever seen...Australians are far from gun shy pussies when it comes to war, and have always supportted the US military by sending talented men of war to fight...I’ve never head a complaint about an Aussies being a poorly trained bullet catching soldier. I give much respect to those who fought and fought well and continue to do so whenever they are called upon by her allies.

What pains me most is how did a Koala Bear Faced pansies ass lover like JS ever survive in your country amongst brave men? One could, I guess, objectively assume, someone had to cook, clean and sew patches on the men’s uniforms. Possibly making JS an ASS-ET to some men...😎😳

Trump is our American President and most of us are very happy with him,he is a real man and isn`t afraid to speak his mine, you small countries may not like our President but we needed a real man to stand up to countries like North Korea and Russia, I notice the countries you people live in have not ? > Back to World WAR 2 > America lost the most soldiers and spent the most money-gold whatever you want to call it. percentages don`t count when it comes to dead soldiers it`s all terrible for any family in any country. >>> no matter what your history books say America is the biggest reason World War 2 was won and over !

It appears that JS is correct; you're just another alien new American liberal, commie, lefty troll attempting to cause dissension. Thankfully, the vast majority of American's in your adopted country aren't as whacko.

Heading back Down Under on Wednesday.

now yes i knew the about the aussie's helping America glad they did help some in all the wars,but here's why i did this,it did piss you guys off right ? and fire you up ?

So you're saying they need your prodding to "do the right thing?"

What an arrogant prick.

It's a shame that Australian firearms law has become more restrictive for the law abiding gun owners. Still, I have a friend who hunts Axis deer over there from time to time and he has had no trouble or serious impediments put in his way.

We have a vocal minority here in NZ who are anti gun and get way too much attention by the media. They're your usual urbanite, liberal, types who haven't a clue about the wilderness or that just about every farm in this country (and there are a lot of farms) has at least one rifle or shotgun. They would love to see more restrictive firearms laws placed on us. They haven't a chance of succeeding though as we love our guns too much and we're too organized. Long may it remain so.

Well, some good news is that my wife received her Firearms Licence (A,B) notification today in the mail, photo on Thursday and then look about for a 1958 Brno model 5 for her, I already have a nice 1980's piece of Roger Vardy's walnut ready to be cut to fit her.
