Obama reveals desire to impose Australia-style gun bans in U.S.

“In Australia, civilians are not allowed to possess automatic and semi-automatic firearms, self-loading and pump action shotguns, handguns with a caliber in excess of .38in with only narrow exemptions, semi-automatic handguns with a barrel length less than 120mm, and revolvers with a barrel length less than 100mm,” the site advises. “In Australia, private possession of fully automatic weapons is prohibited, with only narrow exceptions for permanently inoperable collector's, display, or museum guns. [P]rivate possession of semi-automatic assault weapons and their lookalikes is prohibited in all but exceptional circumstances. [P]rivate possession of handguns (pistols and revolvers) is only permitted subject to stringent condition.” [More]
