Funny thing is, I wasn’t addressing you, and you jumped in about your stupid guns, you just couldn’t help yourself. If I had read you tagline first, I would never have replied to you:

...Where might it be better to live than The United States of America?
Australia. We even have a health system that works, and our minimum wage is to die for, compulsory superannuation; and if I win a million dollars the government doesn’t steal half of it. Our unemployment benefits don’t run out before we find another job either...

Can you carry a gun, either on your hip, or slung on your back?

I should have paid more attention to what appears to be of importance to you. You only have one motive and one single, narrow POV. I’m a farmer with guns aplenty who cares about our way of life and the welfare of my family. I just don’t need to carry a rifle when I go into town and a handgun I have no use for.
“...Funny thing is, I wasn’t addressing you, and you jumped in about your stupid guns, you just couldn’t help yourself. If I had read you tagline first, I would never have replied to you...”
Oh, don’t get yer estrogen in an uproar! You were talking to one of my friends, and I asked you a simple question. That’s what a “Forum” is all about. Discussions, questions, the exchange of information, POLITE discourse, and the dissemination of ideas.
The point is, you DID respond. And yes, maybe you SHOULD have read my tagline first if you were so vehemently predisposed against the subject. Observation and perception; they’re important qualities to learn.
“...I’m a farmer with guns aplenty ...”
So YOU say. But things might not be what they seem, on the surface of it. As a matter of fact, I get the impression there’s quite a few things about you that aren’t what they appear. But I’ll let that one alone for now.
“...I should have paid more attention to what appears to be of importance to you...”
No, you SHOULD have simply answered cordially and NICELY instead of being bitchy and snarky. Then, you and I would have a very nice friendly chat, instead of it turning into “Gun Control Gallipoli” - which YOU made it.
Manners and courtesy don’t cost much - even when it comes to dealing with us “aggressive” Yanks.
You oughta learn that sometime - “Mate”.
