This is just Awful

I hope those M1 Carbines in S Korea don't end up like this..I'm sure there are Law Enforcement there watching anyone that might have sticky hands. Here in Corpus they use to dump them in the bay from a barge. My neighbor who just retired from the Sheriff's Dept. told me once a year they do it. Now seeing this they may be scrapping them for what the metal is worth. Every local Town that's in a 100 mile radius brings captured firearms and after the case is over and build up a Stock pile they bring them here to be disposed of.

A couple of tons of scrap iron or $250,000 of gun parts. You just have to give the slow clap to our elected officials.

Pictures of clubbed baby seals are less offensive then this.........

that picture is from the Australian gun buy back in the 90's. you can just see the NSW number plate on the truck.

You know they don't look at it the same way as we do...

To me it doesn't matter where it's from its just sad. It looks like whoever had all these Firearms before disposing them had most of the Barrels Bent. Does anyone else see this ? I wonder why if there going to be scrapped anyway.

And other damages, depending on which constabulary had them. Everyone wants to do their "Bit".

It sure mattered if you were owned guns at that time with semi auto capabilities yeah was just freaking great mate!!! WRONG in capitals, just used Port Arthur as a stepping stone to get what they wanted it may have been in the 90's but I for one am still mighty p*ssed

I had in mind a different gesture!!! :mad:

It looks like this is what they want to do here in the States. In Australia, the government has already confiscated 100,000 guns and threatened citizens with prison. This shocking picture, in Sydney, Australia's*Daily Telegraph*newspaper, Is an ominous sign of what Americans can soon expect.

And yet, it is strange how much gun violence still occurs within the Sydney Metropolitan Area. Hmmm, one wonders.

I'm curious - is there any possibility those Korean Carbines and Garands could show up as parts kits? I don't know of any companies making kits over there, but Inland (for those willing to risk) would probably sell bare Carbine receivers if there is a market, and there are options for barrels.

Seems to be mainly semi auto shotguns in that pile, I guess they banned those too in 1996??

Would any of the growing number of UK spec Lever release "semi, semi" auto designs be acceptable in Australia?

The only citizens in Australia with easy access to semi and fully automatic firearms are the criminal fraternity. For some reason they didn't hand them in and still freely import them.:confused:

Thread closed ... :surrender:

Where can I discuss politics and gun legislation issues?

In this case ... Australian Gun Control

Thanks ... :cheers:
