Anyone feeling angry?

[Tony Smith]

Don't get angry with Bob! Police attitudes (and community attitudes!) to replica and deactivated firearms around the world vary considerably. In NSW, any replica or toy that resembles a real firearm is classified as a prohibited weapon and possession without meeting certain strict conditions can result in a fine of $10,000 or 14 years Jail. As there is just one category of "Prohibited Weapon" under the legislation, the same same conditions apply to owning a deactivated genuine 7.62mm mini-gun as to owning a plastic toy pistol!
If you don't think 14 years Jail for possession is good for a laugh, try MANUFACTURING a replica firearm.

Is this excessive? Ask a Bank Teller (or Liquor Shop attendant, Petrol Station attendant, Pharmacist, or School Teacher) who has been confronted with a replica gun if they were S***ing plastic poo.
