absolute right to bear arms?, page-15

Hi blackstone, I'm largely anti gun, but your comment:
'The Japanese in WW2 avoided a full scale land invasion due to the fact they thought most ordinary Australian citizens carried firearms and were crack shot shooters..... '
I find interesting. Is this really true? If so, it adds an interesting dimension to national security.

But remember, and I have been thumbed down for mentioning this before, if you are not a criminal, you still can get a licence and buy high powered hunting rifles (just not semi autos etc)
