Ok so these just look like ornamental weapons. Those are fancy display knives and the stupid guns look like old timey replicas.

Fuck this Police scare mongering.

So many boomers are terrified at the moment because of this type of shit

The us police in extremely repressive regions like NYC do this a lot, too. Showing off their "seizure" of rusted junk, the archaic .38 grandma keeps in her bedside table, shitty 30§ head shop katanas, and similar junk. I honestly think they do it as a flex. "There's no actual threats out there but we can and will destroy your life over toys and wall hanger junk because fuck you, we're in charge." They know it looks silly and frivolous but at the end of the day they've got an army and can do whatever they want, including "disarming" the peasants of things that were never arms to begin with.

Is that a fucking handgun for a 1/6th scale military figure?????

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My other guess would be lighter.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh didn't think of that, why is that illegal because it's gun shaped?

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Do not ask me to imagine what goes in in an anglo-australian skull. Spare me that horror.

Much better than mine. That would never have occurred to me.

Has to be, looks to be the right size. How is that illegal in down under, that's a toy.

@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net explain this

Look I needed one small enough for my little owl feet, okay?

All owls have the right to bear arms.

Basically everything that looks remotely like a gun is illegal and requires a weapon permit (including airsoft)

Except Queensland, where these are all legal because they're gel blasters

who's carrying the fucking kolibri?

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Hello Kitty, since she's canonically 3 apples tall or whatever

The Aussie equivalent of bad hombres.

Beasts better watch out, lest I pull up with my +3 hunters pistol and 24 bloodtinge

Pull up to the colonists’ embassy and put one in their gate. Long live the king, innit!
