Australia has some of the most stupid gun laws in the world.

You tell me why a lever action shotgun is legal but a pump action shotgun is not. The only reason is because bad guys in movies use pump actions, not lever actions.
Why is a compound bow legal, without a licence or any background checks, but a crossbow is illegal even with a gun licence? (in WA at least)
Did you know that a slingshot (or ging) is illegal? As in completely illegal, even with a gun licence. Someone probably got hit in the eye with a rock so they banned them outright.
I even saw recently that Nerf guns (the plastic toy guns that shoot foam darts) could be classified as weapons because under the current legislation they are classed as air rifles.

Despite all of this there is currently more guns in Australia than there was before the buyback.

In Qld they sell great slingshots in the gun shops purpose "to launch your bait" into the sea.
