Nope I don't like guns.
In Australia the gun laws restrict heavily what a gun owner can do and own when regarding firearms. When the new gun laws were introduced there it was not such a big deal because other then farmers Australians generally are not big on guns and with the buyback scheme people were not so reluctant to hand them in.
But in the US, from what I've seen in the times I have visited and lived there people are fiercely protective of their guns and at this age and time it would be impossible to seperate them from their love of firearms. As much as I would love to see Americans lose their fascination with guns it aint going to happen anytime soon especially in the southern states.
I am just glad I live in a country where you dont have to worry about someone breaking into your house with a loaded gun ready to wreak havoc. I'm not saying it doesnt happen but the average person can sleep comfortably at night with a simple locked house, and you ask 100 people randomly off the street if they felt they needed a gun to protect their home and family and you would be lucky to find one who said yes.
