A gun amnesty and buyback was extended in NSW by three months to ensure all licensed shooters whose firearms were banned are compensated.
Police Minister John Watkins said the National Handgun Buyback would be extended in NSW until June 30, along with an amnesty so people can surrender their firearms and avoid hefty penalties.
Under the amnesty which began on October 1, 5,520 weapons have been surrendered including 3,960 rifles, 1,042 shotguns and 477 handguns.
( sounds like they are not turning them in.)
The guns were disabled and destroyed in bulk incinerations.
"Police will keep collecting, disabling and destroying weapons at secret locations to ensure they never end up in the hands of criminals," Mr Watkins said in a statement.
Possession of an illegal weapon carries a maximum 14 year jail penalty.
Specialist buyback vans will continue to travel the state for another three months until the buyback extension ends.
"The three month extension will ensure all licensed shooters are visited and compensated for guns banned by the Council of Australian Governments agreement," Mr Watkins said.

I believe that the majority of people living in this country are too stupid to understand why it should NOT happen....
If not in our lifetime, then no more than a generation or two.
The gene pool needs chlorine.
Without freedom, life is only existence. No guns=absolutely no freedom!

If the people have become so apathetic that they will not vote out all the liberal scum (republican and democrat alike), the only solution is Constitutional Convention II the sequel. Let's get it right this time.

Beautiful sentiment. I concur,wholeheartily.

happiness is a warm gun, preferably preban
One region has already implemented banning of swords now as well. Just now the martial arts community is discovering not joining the gun owners to fight for their rights is costing ALL of them their rights.
Within 5 years,they would have their gun ban...30 days later.the final Americans would be killed off....or we would once again live in a FREE COUNTRY...victorious.
God,Guts,& GunsHave we lost all 3 ??
Like George Patten said it is better to make the other guy die for his country that to die for yours.

Shootstright, I think all fox was saying is that he wouldn't be covering his children's "six", rather, he would be out "on point".

Highball, we both know that the sheeple are convinced we live in a free country RIGHT NOW.
The founders would have said "ENOUGH!" back in '34 and would have "deposed" the then king, FDR. Possibly sooner, say the early 60's, 1860's that is.

I am proud to read the posters above ? Nice to be in the company of men,Americans all...
We face impossible odds,the entire power structure is against us.as said,90 percent of the country is brain-washed..yet the struggle goes on in a few mens minds...how to regain freedom.
Those who truly love freedom..will ALWAYS be a minority.
