  • Anyone ever seen a $10k Glock? I sure havent...



    A father and his two sons have been arrested in Australia after police found a $3 million arsenal of more than 300 guns and 4.2 tons of ammunition at their farm, police said Thursday.

    The men, aged 69, 46 and 42, were charged with possessing restricted firearms after police found the weapons stockpile stashed in sheds at their property in Monto, Queensland.

    A selection of the firearms from a huge stockpile of 328 guns and 4.2 tons of ammo recovered by police in Queensland, Australia.
    Among the 328 weapons were military-style automatic rifles, some of which were worth up to $50,000 each, and Glock handguns worth $10,000, police said.

    “This is certainly one of the largest hauls of firearms, ammunition and weapons we have uncovered,” said Detective Superintendent Jon Wacker of the Queensland Police. “These firearms are very disturbing.”

    The men, who have not been named, were licensed to have 71 weapons. But most of the stockpile was illegal, modified or converted in some way, Wacker said.

    As well as the Glock handguns, the haul contained military-style guns such as AK-47s, MP5 sub-machine guns and rifles featuring telescopic lenses.

    An audit of the men's weapons was carried out sometime in the past two months, in accordance with Australian firearms law, but police would not say if that led to the raid.

    Wacker told a news conference Thursday that it appeared the men were "holding" many of the weapons for other people.

    "[The firearms] will be matched with a national database to see if any of the firearms have been used in other offenses," he added.

    "Our fear is that these firearms are high-caliber firearms that if they got into the wrong hands they could certainly be used in a nasty way."

    The three men charged are due to appear in front of magistrates next month.

        Over there a small unregistered pistol like a smuggled in Glock 26 will go for $2,000 or more. Handguns are not illegal over there but small handguns are (kind of like Canada). Pistols also cost about two times as much because they all have to be imported and Australia has almost no domestic arms industry aside from Thales Australia and Lithgow.

        Also, that Owen gun they had is sweet. I know a while back they found an illegal Owen gun factory in Sydney.

          Wow, did not know all of that


          I just found the article funny in a scary way (a HAHA F- that) as this I am sure is exactly what Feinstein would love to enact.

            Yep. The way they get illegal guns is funny too. They come to America (mostly bikers), hit junk yards, and fill engines and transmissions with broken down guns and export them to smaller ports like Hobart.

              Sounds like those restrictive gun laws are working great.

                Their gun homicide rate is 28 times less than ours.

                  Gun homicides are only one area you can measure crime. Break ins, robbery, murder (gun and non gun), assault, rape, theft, etc can all be measured. How did they compare to ours before and after the ban? Were gun homicides always low? Was there an incline or decline after the ban in overall crime? Besides gun control, were there any other laws cracking down on crime that may have affected the rates? There are alot more variables that should be looked at. According to the story posted and your account of the gun smuggling it would appear the ban has done little to stop people from getting guns that want them.

                    Since 1997 gun homicides have been reduced by over 4 times, and since the laws were tightened in 1997 there have been zero massacres, as opposed to our 18.



                    Look, I'm a gun guy through and through and I hate these stats as much as the next enthusiast, but many countries have shown that gun control works. Japan, the country with pretty much the strictest gun control, has a miniscule crime rate.

                      It goes two ways. You can say in the US gun control works by looking at the NFA registry. On the other hand, you could say honest lawful citizens are just that.

                          Not really. Some places it works, some places it doesnt. Island geography has contributed to successful gun control in Japan and Australia, but in a place like North America where you have a strong arms manufacturing industry, hundreds of millions of guns in circulation, and an inclination towards violence due to things like the drug war guns have permeated society and culture so much that successful gun control would be impossible.

                              $0, they dont exist. I think there may, and that's a small may, be some conversions available in the transferable world. Most are all post samples and maybe $1k NIB.
