    Not even close to being true.

    They have a lot of farmland, and a lot of pests, so there’s a huge number of people who have a legitimate need for a firearm. There’s also a pretty strong recreational shooting community.

    I don’t know why people think you can’t have guns in Australia, but it’s just not true.

      Yeh people can get guns but kids would have a really, really hard time getting access to one. Knives, easy, but guns? No.

      It’s quite true that you can own a gun, and yes it’s not all that hard, but there are not many little shits getting a hold of them. If any.

      Its not even remotely comparable to the US for example.
