All for this.
It’s non-invasive, it’s reasonable in scope, it’s targeting carry and not 18+ purchase, and it’s a security measure that’s actually trying to curtail a rise in crime.
Good move. Wanding is smart.

Totally agree… 
Down in Mexico the knife regs are so tight you can’t walk into a Mitchell’s Outdoors store and just buy a camping knife…last time I tried the sales guy wouldn’t even get one out of the cabinet unless I had a permit. 
And don’t even start me on martial arts weaponry… once a few ravers were caught rockin’ up to hard dance clubs with wakizashi stuffed down the leg of their phatpants it was locked up… I struggled to buy anything a few years back and I was active in martial arts at the time.
Dont tell me, you wanted the magic dragon staff…of Monkey…!!
You might like my Kukri that was given to my Uncle for saving a few Gurkhas butts in Vietnam as gratitude.

Oi! Don’t be disrespecting Monkey! 
Actually I was after butterfly swords… wing chun. 
No doubt… Before blasters it was all about the blades… from a collector’s point of view.
Never have nor never will carry any kind of blade outside of a bush camping/fishing scenario. Knowing the damage they can do should be enough of a deterrent to bein’ casual about it.
Mmm some of the war stories were very interesting about the Australian Gurkha rifles regiment was very interesting. They did “better than the yanks” was one of my uncles comments. Things books or interwebs don’t do justice.
Yeah, the Gurkhas and Aussie soldiers go way back to Gallipoli… My old man was in the British Army, always told me the Gurkhas were one of the most respected and feared soldiers out there.
Big honour to have that kukri, matey… treasure it always

Guessing you guys have heard about the three rich idiots (and one unfortunate explorer) who went down to see Titanic in a tin can.
I’m not sure if this is some kind of sick joke by JB Hi Fi, deeply discounting the deadly controller, but if it is
They well and truly have me giggling.

I think they’ll find 5 dead bodies tomorrow when they get assets out there to pull it up.
Ironic how one is the CEO of the sub company. Nice way to promote business with a XBOX controller to drive it. Should have gone with a playstation 
I wont joke about this.
They are probably all dead.
And, lived, their last xxx hours, knowing they were going to die.
Alone. In terror…
At the bottom of the ocean.
One was a billionaire…
All the money, in the world, is worth nothing ,in those moments…
I wouldn’t wish that suffering, on anyone…

Was only quatrter mill for a ticket, one was an ex French Navy diver. They’ll be right. Went for an extra dive this time around.
Honestly, the hydrophones heard a bang. The sub probably imploded, and it was probably instant.
I’m not gleeful about the deaths of the bankers and stockbrokers. But I’m entirely unsympathetic. They were adults going into a known dangerous situation. And they were rich rich. The kind of rich that lobbies governments to make it worse for your average Joe. Not worth crying over, in my opinion.
I’m pretty pissed at the Saudi guy, if anything, for taking his kid along.
Damn porthole was rated for 1500m, the tin can itself for 3000 at BEST, and they were going below 4k.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Could’ve spent that 250K getting James Cameron’s old dive footage that he didn’t release, when he made his expeditions years ago.
I know…
I would never go down there…very risky enterprise…
Why would you wanna see a wreck, of an old ship…?
But, they did…for their own reasons…
Would you, wanna get a ride, on a rocket, to orbit the earth…??!
At an experimental price…??!
The very rich, seem to think they can do anything, without risk or consequence…
High pressure vessels are usually designed as a complete single cylinder, with a small self sealing hatch as access.
This clown ignores all engineering studies and design standards, cutting the front of the cylinder off and turning it into a single big swinging door, with nothing but a SINGLE thin o-ring to seal the whole section.
Laughed at the sound of the 7” thick Perspex viewing window flexing and making cracking sounds when at depth, relying on Chinese made hardware store build materials such as Rhino Liner, cable ties, nutserts, offcut aluminium straps, pop rivets, gaffa tape, junkyard steel pipe, cheap electronics, basically ZERO failsaif back up plans……… and then sacked his ACTUAL Sub-Mariner Engineer when he reported all of the life threatening faults and failures to the relevant authorities.
What could possibly go wrong 
Considering how rigid survey regs are for commercial charter boats, I’m struggling to grasp how that fucking submersible ever got cleared to leave a ship’s deck.
