"Police statistics appear to bear this out. Last year, there were 3500
illegal guns seized across NSW. Everything is on offer from pistols and
the highly prized Glocks, which are easy to conceal and can unload 17
rounds in a matter of seconds, to Uzi machine guns and hand grenades. The
anti-tank missiles stolen from the Australian army were bought for about
$15,000 each."

Phil, your gun laws are ineffective.

Look at the middle eastern names mentioned and the rest of information in
this article....."Middle Eastern crime gangs......Many of the offences were
committed in.....around the Arab heartland of Sydney.....(NSW Police) Middle
Eastern Organised Crime Squad. That should speak volumes to most people who
are familiar with this problem.

While this article is a few years old now, it's still about right, with much
of the violent gun crime in Sydney often being linked to middle eastern
crime gangs or families and the trouble they cause far outweighing the size
of their community in Australia. Unfortunately, many people could see this
problem coming a long while ago. But a succession of PC government
administrations just didn't want to acknowledge it until it was near
impossible to ignore.
