No slight intended to the fine fighting forces of Australia. But my point is terrorists are disinclined to hit hard targets, such as those with military/LEO personnel. Now that the Aussie gov't is taking guns, and I guess swords from the law abiding citizens, what do they have left for self-defense?
I need nothing more than a boxcutter, my friend. In fact, I've gotten myself out of more than one dangerous situation with the judicious swing of my carkeys...
I say again. 9/11. What use were all America's firearms then?
Please don't comment on the average Australian's ability to defend themselves... that was ever the point of this thread, and to be honest I get tired of every Australia post on FR being hijacked by the gun lobby. Half the time it's just so irrelevant to the point being discussed, it's not even funny anymore.
