Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Are you seriously suggesting that nobody
has
bought a *new* gun since 1996, Oz? What I've heard is, the number of guns
sold
post 1996 is now greater than the number handed in.

Who needs a new gun. One that I remember fondly was a .577/450 calibre
Martini action
from Indian campaigns. The cartridge was obsolete so the owner rechambered
and
put on a new barrel. I can't remember what it was changed to, but it had
somewhat
of a kick.

You can still but the .577/450, but they are hand tooled, and come in boxes
of three. Last I saw they were about $110 per round (1994-5).
Hefalumps, not rabbits ;-)

Marky.

Difference is, these are all brand new modern firearms, not clapped out
22RF
semiautos. Either way, there are more firearms in private hands now than
there
were 10 years ago. At least registered ones. Kind of screws your argument
but
never mind, you'll have a cognitive disconnect and fail to take this on
board.

As for getting illegal guns off the streets, sorry, Easter has gone and
the
Easter bunny is resting until next year.

Hmmm. The guy that owned the Martini WAS a rabbit inspector...
