Herb, while the stats are impressive, could you get some references on them and the money involved? Stats without references are hard to swallow even if they do make our Right to keep and bear arms argument seem much more valid than the American liberals would like... Stats with references have "teeth" and stats without them are toothless...

$500 million dollars divided by 640,381 guns is slightly more than $771 per gun...which seems a bit high to me... why did it cost this much? was it a buy back program or did they just collect them and destroy them? and are these Aussie Dollars or US dollars?

Thanks Herb ... and I AM on your side! but if we are going to fight the good fight we have to use good ammo... antecdotal stories are no help.
