Re: Guns

Well, I suppose a culture of guns is one thing we haven't really picked up so much. There was hardly an uproar over people handing over their guns after Port Arthur, and a hell of an outrage at people like Martin Bryant being allowed access to a gun. We're always going to accept the fact that for some groups, like the police and farmers, guns are a necessary evil, and we simply don't want more situations where people like Bryant, or Ivan Milaat, or the Morans in Melbourne, have guns, so as a society we've pretty much reasoned that we do want guns and weaponry off civilians.
