Hey, thanks for cluing us in for what is going on in Australia, a place where guns are banned. I'm glad it is working for you and gives you a feeling of safety. I live in Canada where we do not have in our constitution the right to bear arms but wee are free to own guns if we have a gun acquisition license. acquired after taking a gun safety course. Which is a good thing. They tried to have gun registration and it was so costly and a real pain for everyone (except the criminals who don't bother with such things) to have to register each and every gun. Living in a low population area where you are kind of left on your own to defend yourself - the RCMP (no police force here)are mostly busy on the reserves, I am fine with the option of having a firearm. I doubt that I could ever pull the trigger on a person and it is mostly my husband who handles the guns and only for self protection. That being said we also have a lot of people who use guns for subsistence living, to feed their families. Ideally I would love to live in a world where all being could live in peace and harmony but realistically that is not the reality of our area of the country. Guns really are not an issue for me for I do live peacefully in the forest and I would prefer to be loving and kind to our fellow human beings but there is the fact that there is a lot of violence out there and we do have guns in the house which I hope we never have to use!
