The consequences were not outlined in the bill. 🤷🏻♂️
I wouldn’t trust that function. Download the whole mess and search for yourself. Not saying they rigged it, saying the search function probably sucks.

World News@lemmy.world•Australia announces gun buyback scheme in wake of Bondi attackEnglish
25·7 hours agoIf one isn’t into guns, it’s hard to parse what you’re looking at it. You’re looking at mostly garbage. Those are grandpa’s guns, which may be great!, and I’d bet few actually function. Can’t get a new firing pin or funky spring for that 70-yo shotgun? Turn it in, get paid!
EDIT: See my edited breakdown on that first pic: https://old.lemmy.world/comment/21103440
Anyway, over on /r/liberalgunowners, we’d get a hearty chuckle out of the buy backs and police pics.
Or, look at it this way: Almost every gun pictured is a long gun of some sort. In America, long guns, including AR-15s, are used in ~4% of gun deaths (including suicides, weirdly enough). It’s the pistols people kill with. See any pistols?

World News@lemmy.world•Australia announces gun buyback scheme in wake of Bondi attackEnglish
512·7 hours agoNo, it was not. Gun buybacks are never successful.
Look at this bullshit. Here’s a wider angle.
It’s a joke, always is. People turn in their crappy, broken, rusty guns, get paid and the state is like, “Look how great this is!”
Wish they’d do a buyback in my state. Got a couple of busted POS guns I’d love to get paid for.
EDIT: Apparently lemmy doesn’t believe me. Let’s break down the first pic where we can see some detail. Making educated guesses here. Left to right:
- Unknown, broken stock
- Pellet gun
- Unknown
- Pellet gun
- Unknown, but something’s off ?
- Toy
- Unknown, either a .22 or a pellet rifle
- Broken body, snapped off stock
- I think they zip tied two dissimilar gun together? Broken body, hence, the zip ties
- Neat looking antique, WWII era? Older I think?
- Homemade. How To Blow Your Fingers Off 101.
- Bolt laying there as filler?
- Homemade pistol. LOL, you couldn’t pay me to fire that monstrosity
- 120+ yo old shotgun, can’t shoot modern loads or it explodes, missing foregrip, badly broken stock (have 2 such antiques)
- Unknown single-shot rifle
- Single shot, break-open shotgun.
Not enough detail to guess on the last couple. One other thought, you can’t get ammo for much of that old garbage.
What a haul of killing machines!

Technology@lemmy.world•Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdogEnglish
24·1 day agoYou’ll love this!
I deployed an open-source chat system at work, just for convenience. Boss was concerned that it didn’t do any logging and we couldn’t tell who said what.
“You don’t have any records of what we say verbally. What’s the difference?”
“…Oh. Well, you’re right.”
He was coming from a legit concern. We didn’t point fingers when someone screwed up, zero blame, but we needed to know exactly what happened so we could fix it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do pro athelets get paid millions upon millions of dollars but will be taken off field for something minor? My coach always said walk it off or tough it out. How come its not the same in leagues?English
4·3 days agoIn high school you’re younger, weaker and lighter. Also, the coach is trying to toughen you up. Not saying they’re always wise about when to send you to the bench, but it’s nothing like the pros.
Once you get into the pros, those guys are monsters, fighters with a lot more to lose. And of course they’re literally financial investments.
