You have no idea do you, guns were never a defence here, hand guns and owning a gun for "protection" was never allowed. They were never legal to stop robberies, burglaries, or violent crime.
The state I'm in NSW has 915,000 registered firearms, 7.5 million population, so 1 in 8 people own a gun..
Gun laws were never about taking peoples guns away, they were about getting rid of old guns that end up on the black market, and ensuring guns don't get into the hands of those that shouldn't have them.. people like yourself I'd believe. The laws also strengthened how guns should be stowed, registered.
Getting a gun here is a privilege, not a right, and there's the major difference to the USA. Vast majority of citizens here want stricter guns laws than we already have.
