Sad news from Oz: Queenslanders handing in 500 guns a week [3]. Of course what is not mentioned in the article is that there are millions of unregistered guns in Australia, including hundreds of thousands of now contraband semi-auto and pump action guns. Recognizing their long standing right, many Aussies have justifiably refused to be disarmed. OBTW, Australia is one of the locales in my upcoming novel Expatriates [4], and the implicit right of keep and bear arms is one of the themes of the book–even if it isn’t yet enshrined in an Australian Bill of Rights [5]. (Thanks to James C. for the news link.)
