      I reckon Chopper would be happy. His main goal was to leave a legacy people would still be talking about generations later like other Aussie outlaws before him.

      Since the amnesty after the Port Arthur massacre they are legally available to farmers, gun club members. Criminals obtain them on the black market.

      @@truthhurts2879 The American reference didn't escape me but Melbourne in the '80s wasn't a lawless hick town in the back of beyond. It was a large modern city, the cultural capital of Australia and the richest city in the World at that time. It would be equally as accurate to describe NYC in the 80s as cowboyville.
