Funny that the Aussies on this thread would bring up Crocodile Dundee.
Although Paul Hogan is famous for his use of the Bowie knife in the movie, remember that he killed his crocs with a bolt-action Remington .308 (note cartridge cases on deck of boat).
Rodney Ansell, the man on whose life the character “Crocodile Dundee” was based, probably carried some kind of knife, but he certainly carried a rifle with him everywhere. When his boat was capsized by a crocodile, he dived back into the drink to retrieve his dogs and his rifle. It was his rifle that kept him alive for the next two months alone in the uninhabited outback of the Northern Territory, allowing him to shoot wild cattle for food.
Sadly, Ansell was killed in 1999 in a shootout with police, who were trying to take away his guns. He was carrying two rifles at the time, but was not wearing shoes. It is my contention that had he been wearing shoes, and was carrying only one rifle, he might have been able to outflank them and win.

“In Australia today, police can enter your house and search for guns, copy the hard drive of your computer, seize records, and do it all without a search warrant,” Dr. Faria reports. “It’s the law that police can go door to door searching for weapons that have not been surrendered in their much publicized gun buy-back program. They have been using previous registration and firearm license lists to check for lapses and confiscate non-surrendered firearms.”
Rodney Ansell was a fair dinkum Aussie and a T-Man. He is an inspiration to free men everywhere, and is sorely missed.
That was a real sad read. I did not know he went out like that. It is not surprising however. Liberals hate the idea of individual self sufficiency. People being able to fend for themselves and not be reliant upon the government abhors liberals. This is why the Australian government would gladly kill someone like Rodney Ansell. His rifles allowed him to feed himself and to protect himself. ust like the spineless cowards that they are the government sent the police out to do their killing for them.
You are a dead set fucking idiot.
Ansell got shot because the cops were looking for someone who shot up a house the night before. They set up a road block and were fired upon from the side of the road. Ansell killed one of them. He was a nutjob, like you.
Another lie in that webpage for loonies is that crime is on the rise since the buyback. That is a barefaced lie. One study showed that and it was a fucked up study. Apparently one of the stupidest people on earth, Charlton Heston used Australia as an example of crime rising with less guns. Our Attorney General wrote to him basically saying to stop lying.
The government killed him because he was self sufficient is rubbish, he was a murderer and got shot trying to kill people. You are a halfwit for believing such rubbish.[/quote]
Temper Temper. Does it bother to have someone who is not from your country try to tell you something about it? Or are you a liberal and the remarks about liberals hit too close to home?
Do you realize that you are not the first or second or third Aussie who has come on this board in the last few months and made essentially the same statements? That is the reason why on the first page people were saying what is it with you Aussies.
So you see it is not like we dislike you pommies it is just that guys turn this into a circular arguement that comes up every month, like a menstraul cycle.
If you were to learn about the culture here you would realize that it is not gun ownership that is causing the violent crime here, it is other societal factors which have been pointed out to you. This is why Switzerland does not have the rates of violent crime we do even though the Swiss are well armed.
