| Locknuts said: Gun control here in Australia is ok, but they go overboard with classes of firearm that are banned. For example you can get a lever-action shotgun, but not a pump action shotgun. Either one is going to blow a hole in something at a similar rate. To have a pistol you need to complete a certain number of competition shoots per year, and pepper spray is even banned! Forget having a taser too. Or a baton. I feel for the people of Melbourne who are being attacked by African gangs and can't defend their homes. Also, I hate how people look to Australia as a solution to America's gun problems. It's a totally different situation here (less guns than people in circulation for example) and we have a different constitution. Our PM Malcolm Turnbull said as much during his visit and he's right. |
Not only that... But Australia is surrounded by Ocean... A natural barrier.
It's significantly more difficult to smuggle anything here.
*********************
For me though...
* Happy about Healthcare. - We rank highly in most aspects.
* Happy about Infrastructure. - Internet could be better though.
* Happy about the standard of living. - Shit is all clean yall.
* Happy about Job opportunities.
* Happy about our Education system.
* Happy about security. - Gun control has proven to be effective.
* Happy with Welfare.
* Happy with Immigration.
And because of that... We are attracting more wealthy migrants than any other country, even the USA.
However... Overall, it's hard to complain, we are the lucky country, would be great if many aspects like Infrastructure, education, health, welfare weren't under constant attack by the far-right/conservatives though.
You visit a nation like the United States, the first thing you see is the airports which feel very archaic and in decline. Roads aren't much better.
