Should I buy an SKS???

[Adam Helmer]

deadkelly,

Welcome to the Forum. I see you are from Australia and have recently been subject to some rather harsh gun control laws. I believe you CANNOT own an SKS and many other arms we here own in the USA.

Would you be so kind to tell us what military surplus arms you FORMERLY could legally own and now cannot? Why were the new restrictions imposed and why was it not vigorously opposed by Australian gun owners? Has there been a net decrease in armed crime in Australia?
