I grew up on a farm, i got my first gun at 10. My mother was the ladies western australian champion clay pigeon shooting for 2 years.

I honestly dont think people in the AU cities need guns. cops yah. sports shooters yah why not. everyday citizens just dont. firearm violence is not big here.

You cant compare US and AU.. they are totally diff places.

of course i support farmers having guns still. they do need them, vermin control etc.

the firearm laws in australia are not ideal, but better then unrestricted access.

I am not sure which side of the fence i sit on, but i do like shooting..
I think we control alcohol because it is a dangerous substance. guns are also dangerous. control is necessary.. but to what degree is the problem.
You have my respect, spoke your heart fealt feelings. Keep an open mind and be vigilante.
