Another would be to be smart enough to know if you are buying a non functional replica! The stupid here is mind boggling. This boxer dude must have taken one too many punches to the ol' noggin.
Personally, I have a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of allowing anybody to tell me I can't own the most effective means out there to defend myself. Fuck, that.
This is why we defend the 2nd Amendment so strongly.
Boxer Chad ‘‘Hollywood’’ Bennett's guns to shoot ‘fat cat’: court
A REPLICA pistol and an air gun found in a garage at Chad ‘‘Hollywood’’ Bennett’s Mayfield home were used ‘‘to shoot a fat cat’’, Newcastle Local Court has heard.
Bennett, the two-time World Boxing Foundation welterweight world champion, pleaded guilty to two charges of possession of an unauthorised pistol in Newcastle Local Court on Thursday.
Court documents state the 42-year-old told police the firearms were purchased to shoot at an overweight feline.
‘‘I got sold a BB pistol to shoot a fat cat ... It was to shoot the cat but it doesn’t even work,’’ Bennett told police during a recorded interview.
In relation to the second firearm, an air gun, Bennett told police: ‘‘It fires ball-bearings and did do the effect on the cat.’’
The firearms were uncovered after a tree fell on top of Bennett’s garage during the April storms, court documents state.
Bennett’s partner, Megan Beukers, found the firearms while cleaning up and confronted him about them. When asked about the firearms, Bennett said: ‘‘They have got nothing to do with you. They are pre you knowing me.’’
Ms Beukers told Bennett that he needed to get rid of the firearms and he agreed, court documents state.
Police were called to Bennett’s home on May 24 in relation to an alleged domestic incident and searched the garage for the firearms, finding them in a box marked ‘‘Chad clothes’’.
He later told police he had bought the air gun in Thailand. ‘‘I got it in Thailand ... and brang that back in my luggage from Thailand. It is a BB gun. I didn’t think there was any problem bringing a BB gun back. Maybe I am wrong.’’
Police said Bennett did not have an active firearms licence and neither of the firearms were registered.
Magistrate Les Brennan adjourned the matter for a pre-sentence report to be prepared. Bennett will be sentenced in October.

There is so much wrong here that it hurts my head.
Mine as well, Six... excedrine can't fix this headache. Only good thing is, before this could happen in amerika 2.0, I'll be dead. In a pile of spent brass.
