Re: How many guns, in total, are owned by people in your hom
I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here, because I know we have topics in Australia that get debated and go around in circles similar to this with no real outcome because everyone is so divided on the issue.
I'll admit I don't know anything about gun laws in Australia, maybe because up until reading this thread the thought of owning a gun has never once crossed my mind. I don't know anyone who owns a gun, or even talks about wanting to own one. I have never even held a gun before and this is pretty common.
The reason I'm saying this is because there is no way you can compare two different countries gun laws and try to work out why one works differently to the other. It depends on the environment you grew up in and by that I dont mean 'class' at all I mean your state of origin. I'm sure if I was born in a different country I would have different views.
It's hard for me to understand why people would want to own a gun to protect themselves, that puts a weapon in your possession that means you will decide if someone lives or dies, intentionally or unintentionally.
