yes...as happens all over the world.......the criminals, the police....they have guns in even the strictest gun controlled countries...oh.....and one other group.......the very group that always supports gun grabbing laws.....the rich and left wing.....
So much for gun confiscation...that is only for the poor......
Scary secret of richest suburbs
THEY are some of Australia’s most prestigious suburbs, with sweeping views of Sydney Harbour and where even getting on the bottom rung of the property ladder will set you back several million dollars.
But there’s another figure that these ritzy neighbourhoods are less keen on crowing about, a figure that runs contrary to the image they’ve taken so long to cultivate.
New data on registered firearms has revealed some of the country’s most well-heeled suburbs have an eye-watering number of guns and in some cases surprisingly more than other, less salubrious, parts of town.
Between them, Point Piper and Darling Point overlooking Sydney Harbour, are Australia’s most expensive suburbs and include Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull as a homeowner. But they also have 324 registered firearms to people in the suburb or 0.044 per resident.
In contrast, Birrong in Sydney’s west, which has some of Sydney’s cheapest housing within 20km of the CBD, has just 159 guns or less than half the number per resident in Point Piper.
Point Piper also has more guns than the notorious trouble spot of Kings Cross, which has 252 guns or only 0.013 per resident.
