 DD> A poorly worded headline.

Factual, non-the-less.

Sure they do. :o) If you want to call it that.

 DD> Where did yo find this? he NRA magazine?

WorldNewsDaily.com is not affiliated with the NRA. Although both are
always correct when reporting these things.

 DD> It is utter bullshit (well except for the bit about "assault"weapons,
 DD> the general public is not allowed those).

"Before someone can buy a firearm, he or she must obtain a Permit To
Acquire. The first permit has a mandatory 28 day delay before it is first
issued. In some states (e.g. Queensland, Victoria, and New South Wales),
this is waived for second and subsequent firearms of the same class. For
each firearm a "Genuine Reason" must be given, relating to pest control,
hunting, target shooting, or collecting. Self-defence is not accepted as a
reason for issuing a licence, though it is legal under certain
circumstances to use a legally-held firearm for self-defence."

Now that's what I call 'restrictive' gun laws.

 DD> Joe Citizen can even get a permit to carry a concealed handgun in
 DD> Australia.

"Firearms in Australia are grouped into Categories with different levels
of control. The categories are:

* Category A: rimfire rifle (not semi-automatic), shotguns (not
pump-action or semi-automatic), air rifles, and paintball markers.

* Category B: centrefire rifles (not semi-automatic), muzzleloading
firearms made after 1 January 1901.

* Category C: semi-automatic rimfire rifles holding 10 or fewer rounds and
pump-action or semi-automatic shotguns holding 5 or fewer rounds.
(Restricted: only primary producers, occupational shooters, collectors and
professional sporting shooters can own functional Category C firearms)

* Category D: semi-automatic centrefire rifles, pump-action/semi-automatic
shotguns holding more than 5 rounds (functional Category D firearms are
restricted to occupational shooters; collectors may own deactivated
Category D firearms).

* Category H: handguns including air pistols, deactivated handguns and
guns less than 65 cm long. Target shooters are limited to handguns of .38"
calibre or less.

Category R/E: restricted weapons: machine guns, rocket launchers, assault
rifles, flame-throwers, anti-tank guns, Howitzers, artillery, .50-calibre
BMG weapons, etc. (Collectors in some states only, weapons must be
comprehensively deactivated. Deactivated firearms are still subject to the
same storage and licensing requirements as 'live' firearms in many
states.)"

PS - There is no provision for concealed carry in Australia...
