You can find them on their web site.
Can you imagine walking into Coles or Woolworths and buying weapons?
Scary.

When I was at school in the 80's you could go into the local sports store and buy rifles and ammunition. Shooting used to be a sport at my high school and kids walked to school with their rifles. They were handed to the teacher before school started and handed back at the range. There were
no safety breaches and all was well. Each person was responsible for their own actions and they took it seriously. It does not happen today. Please don't get me wrong. I am not saying that what was normal in the past is right or wrong. Since the 80's there has been a cultural shift in Australia. I simply cannot see a similar shift in cultural attitudes happen in America.
