This is one of my favorite guns.


I am a very eclectic person when it comes to hobbies and collections. One of my hobbies is to restore vintage or antique electrical/electronics and then collect them. Here's what I've collected over the years, all of which I did a restoration on:

4-Way STOP signals from the 1930's, and an old GE "gumball" streetlight from the 1950's in the background

Old traffic signal from the 1940's

Technics turntable and Pioneer SX-1050 receiver from the same year I was born

One day I had a wild hair up my ass and decided to restore a project much older than I typically attempt, a 1940 RCA 111K, an all-tube radio, very rewarding to get it working again

Wow, and here in USA we bring them to protests and blast each other! ("gel blaster" is a paint ball gun, right?)
Gel blasters are kinda the same as paint guns, they shoot little water filled pellets that disintegrate.
Guns have been outlawed her for a long time now, and the gel blasters can look similar to real guns, so the bank robbers etc were using them and pretending they were real, the cops show up, can’t tell the difference and causes issues…so they got banned in all but QLD I believe

It’s a shame, my kids loved them had heaps of good clean fun

We have dogs, and alarm systems…pretty much it, suppose you could keep a kitchen knife or a baseball bat by your bed Even crossbows and sling shots illegal
The good news is, because no one has them shootings are super rare, the gangs get searched every once and a while and any contraband confiscated

It's not armed intruders that are a problem here, it's intruders who outnumber you and/or are physically stronger than you, or hopped up on drugs. Most home intruders that get shot by homeowners do not have a gun themselves. We have the right to stop home intruder without finding out which person is better in hand-to-hand combat.
The idea of a government thinking people should resort to hand-to-hand combat (possibly with other weapons) as self defense...eff that. Gonna suck if the Chinese come ashore!
