FARMERS TOLD TO DYNAMITE RABBITS
Australian farmers are being urged by authorities to use poison gas and even ammonium nitrate explosive to blow up rabbits, as biological controls fail, The Adelaide Advertiser reported in its Thursday edition.
Here in the US, we just use pellet guns & .22's ... the authorities frown on us "simple folk" using ANFO

Australia: (22LR)Heavily restricted; (ANFO) Free to buy
USA: (22LR)Free to buy; (ANFO)Heavily restricted

Shouldn't this tell us something about laws and hampering honest citizens?

Actually, it tells us a lot more about the dangers of invasive species and overcontrol of predators....

not so much 'heavily restricted'; more a matter of shortage of supplies.
Federal Champion is the preferred feed for my H208 and is virtually non-existent, with little (if any) hope of any imports in the near future.

Hehe, bear in mind though Australian firearms ownership is considerably more invasive than the US, or even that little piece of paradise called New Zealand. Here we just use subsonic hollowpoints.
