I still apparently owe the govt $60 or so for refusing to vote last federal election.

You all have some cash, I get to own guns all the guns I want.
Except, of course, Aussies don't view gun ownership in the same way Americans covet it, something many Americans just don't understand. That's used against us by Americans but we Aussies really don't give two hoots - our lives aren't dictated by whether we can blow our neighbours' head off or not (we try to get along with our neighbours ).edit on 17/11/2011 by Kryties because: (no reason given)
Man, We who have guns do not want to blow are neighbors heads off gees.
We own guns to protect our constitutional rights, and the rights of our neighbors.
The first thing dictators and tyranny in general does is disarm the population.
When they come for our kids or property, what should we do slap them with a vegemite sandwich?
No, we take up arms against them, And my neighbors will all come out packing iron too. Now those are real neighbors.
i keep hearing that protecting our rights crap yet nothing, us Aussies don't need guns but then again we are Australian
You don't need guns until your government shoves one in your face. Then what will you do? Smite them with a kangaroo sandwich?

If the U.S was not around it is not far fetched to say "maybe there would have been a hell of a lot more invading going on".
Look at prior to WW2. I call that a hell of a lot of invading.

From a military point of view, it's ACTUALLY a good move. It sets up a better defensive posture for Australia which is pretty far away from the rest of their allies. It also gives nato nations a second ready position for the defense of Hong Kong, which the Chinese WILL invade at some point.
China has developed some nasty missiles that can track and kill an aircraft carrier, which is currently Hong Kong's ONLY defensive posture. Subs don't really have a lot of firepower (compared to an aircraft carrier) unless things go nuclear.
Australia is resource rich and China is looking for more resources.
All in all, I think it's a good move... I'm just SHOCKED that Obama would actually MAKE a good move militarilly...
BTW, the island nations north of Australia are on the verge of civil war due to Muslim terrorists...just sayin'...

Sorry for going a little off topic but if this is so, why aren't you using them now? It's a genuine question mate, and one that should be addressed given the current state of America and it's people.
I would hazard a guess and say it is because you realise that TPTB have bigger guns than you and point them at you regularly to remind you of them.

I would love to spend at least a year in Australia. It is a beautiful country, I could not survive the outback. I am not that tough.
