Why does someone from another country even care what people in the US think?
Might want to find a hobby or something.
Um, and you might want to join a closed forum where people who only agree with you are present.
Accusations of being a troll for anyone who presents a difference argument than others, is a claim of total ignorance

Is it any of your business whether people want to use guns for hunting or for protection?? Please go take a look at the defensive gun use statistics in the U.S; approximately 2.3 million per year. You're telling me people don't have the right to defend themselves from criminals & the potential threat of tyranny?? That's exactly why the 2nd amendment is in place. Sorry if you can't grasp that notion; sorry if you don't understand the historical importance. Sorry if you won't look up the statistics of violent crime & the relation to gun laws.
As for owning 'military-style' guns; they're not automatic or selective-fire. Automatics are already highly regulated. So to imply that you can just walk into a shop, grab an AK off the shelf & get to committing mass-murders --- please. Stick to hunting kangaroos & pigs, and leave others to their own devices.

Australia’s government also took away their BB guns, slingshots, crossbows, and fireworks. No joke.
I believe they are only allowed to use safety scissors and eat with plastic silverware.

If they didn’t have good surf we wouldn’t even know they existed. I can’t name one single invention of originality that has come from that country. Maybe Outback steakhouse the bloomin onion but that isn’t even original.

Shhhh.....don't tell the Americans. They have been happily living in a fantasy land where their guns keep them safe.
I know exactly what Outback is and it was said in fun.

I suppose you have never heard of a refrigerator then? What about Pacemakers? How about black box recorders? Powered flight? What about bionic ears? Multi-focal contact lenses? Anti flu medication? Artificial spray on skin? I could literally go on for hours listing Australian inventions mate, do you want to retract your ignorant comment before I eviscerate you with an extremely long list of Australian inventions?
Oh and Outback Steakhouse? You really think we eat that crap? That's just marketed to dumb Americans who think they are eating Australian cuisine. Well done there.
