Poll: Ban of "automatic handguns ?"

I'm glad all that (whatever it was) is over.
Sorry to sound hard but aren't we a thin-skinned mob of lugerphiles! This discussion was about plans by the Australian Government to ban the private ownership of handguns and send proabaly a couple thousand of over beloved Lugers off to the melting pot (along with probably 200,000 other handguns, including a fair sprinkling of 96 Mausers, Colt's, Webley's and the like). Now we've all finished apologising to each other can we get back to the discussion! Honestly, if we "gun-nuts" spent as much time fighting the anti-gun lobby as we spent fighting and squabbling among ourselves, the gun control mantra would have gone the way of the Dodo years ago and we could all continue playing with our beloved trinkets in peace!
Please excuse my obviously colonial language on this post but this sort of sqabbling at a time when we are under direct threat gives me a classic case of the irits!
Regards to all.
