Civilian Disarmament in Australia


On November 5th, Australian authorities announced that "most semi-automatic handguns and all large-caliber revolvers will be banned from all but military, law enforcement and security purposes," reported the November 6th Sydney Morning Herald. This "could result in a national handgun buyback scheme … similar to that introduced for military style long arms following the 1996 Port Arthur massacre."

Australia’s accelerating drive to disarm law-abiding civilians tracks perfectly with the UN’s anti-gun program, adopted at the 2001 Conference on Small Arms and Light Weapons. The UN’s intention is to disarm everybody except UN personnel, and national law enforcement and military personnel acting under the world body’s direction. The use of gun turn-in and "buy-back" programs plays a central role in this global gun grab.
