This is outrageous! We cannot have criminal running around with military weapons like that! Maybe we should heed Hillary Clinton’s call:
What do you say? Where is Wagga? Let me Google it…wait.. Australia? But…but… that is not supposed to happen anymore! They solved all that stuff when they “bought” the guns back and imposed heavy Gun Control Laws! Unimpossible!
But let’s do it anyway because this time it will work. I promise.
Hat Tip to Mark W.
So an SKS is a high powered rifle that is a Chinese version of the AK-47?
Nice journalistic thoroughness there. Why figure out facts when you can figure out what sounds the most scary!
I want to know where they got the high-powered SKS. Myself, I only have the regular normal-powered SKS. Is this some sort of upgrade that can be purchased? Like a shoulder thing that goes up? ‘Cause I want one.
Was that the high-powered Toyota Landcruiser? The one that’s a Japanese version of the Russian GAZ TIGR?

Sadly, a few weeks ago they had a Muslim kid try to shoot up a Parramatta police station with a pistol. Sadly, he was able to kill an employee before the other officers shot him down- Aussie cops do carry guns after all.
But imagine if the kid had gone for a mall or a school instead- you would probably not have heard a thing about it, because the MSM likes to portray Australia as gun and violence free.
I was down there a couple of years ago, was told 17,000 + illegal guns were ‘found’ just in NSW in one year… Including Stens being manufactured in biker gang’s, garages…
If Hillary likes Australia ways so much why don’t she move there and leave us Americans alone.Quit with the fairy tales and make believe of the problems we have and deal with the gangs,criminals,and mentally ill,and corruption that is the real trouble.
Same here. If they think a SKS is high powered, I wonder what they think a Garand is?
Yeah, my go-to rifle is an FAL, and just last night I came across a box of 7.6×39 I had put on the wrong shelf, and I was amused by how diminutive that round is.
The SKS is a lot of fun so long as you don’t want to hit anything past 100 yards.
Hey, that’s not fair. I can shoot accurately to about 125 yards with mine.
LOL!
