Austrailian Darwins
I just saw a deal about some "clever" behavior Aussie style.
Seems that several fellows had a bit to drink and wondered if they would feel it when they were shot in the butt/legs with a pellet gun.
It was great fun at the time, but apparently some decided to go to the hospital the following day.
The police, having no sense of humor, charged them with something or another and revoked their pellet gun privileges . They possibly got other penalties as well

As interesting (and stupid!) as they apparently are, they're not yet Darwin Award candidates. To be eligible for a Darwin Award, they must successfully remove themselves from the gene pool, by either death or sterilization. Now, if they'd been going for some crotch shots with those pellet guns, the latter might well have been achieved...!

Might be.........some nutcase went postal with a SKS rifle some years back, and the gov. knee-jerk banned just about anything more than spitwads. A lot of unhappy Aussies created by that ruling.

you need a rimfire rifle license to own an air rifle here in Victoria, Australia. Our gun laws are very strict, which sucks, because i like guns/hunting. But it is probably also the reason we have less than 10 gun deaths per year as a nation...

As far as the 10 gun deaths go, I'm not impressed. We've got ~60,000, and while that sounds like a lot, and no one would brag about it, most of those 60,000 needed killin' anyway. So I wouldn't want to trade systems with ya.

HAHAHA fair enough, yes, lots of people here should be shot also... namely politicians
