ron_brock Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 The government spokesperson was likely involved in naming guns in Au. Not the sharpest tool in the shed nor familiar with history https://www.9news.com.au/national/man-finds-submachine-guns-buried-lake-hume-victoria/04b377fb-fd31-428f-a15c-ec23770223f3 Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3bobby Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Makes me wonder why the Police would spend time and effort (money) on investigating this. Theyve obviously been in the ground for a very long time and any evidence if any, is long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG08 Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I would be surprised they could even get SNs off them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeRanger Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) So the aristocrats bundled their sociopathic offspring off to live amongst - and prey upon - the descendants of people whom they had branded as criminals mostly for the unforgivable sin of being poor? No wonder we kicked their asses out in 1776. Edited May 20, 2020 by StrangeRanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
