No Problem, I understand both sides of the coin. A lot of people are asking the question about gun laws here and guns being in the hands of the mentally unstable and/or criminal minds. Case in point from yesterday.

He had 3 automatic pistols. I have rifles for hunting and the hoops I have to go through to keep them and even use them (I have to have a reason to be transporting them to our property in the bush) Handguns on the other hand are bascially out for anyone who doesn't need them for other than their work or involved with a club. We have banned carrying knives as well BTW.

Saying that our crime stats are due to us not having the right to bear arms is a huge stretch and I don't belive the increase of 400% is correct in Aus anyway. More the problem is the lack of police here.

Damn I just realised you pulled me into the debate... enough from me on the subject. For more views on the Australian tack with regards to Gun Laws please see.
