One of my Australian friends is a guy named Gideon Polya whom I actually like, but with whom I disagree completely on his climate and anti-capitalism stances and would probably disagree more if I bothered to read more of what he wrote. My point being that his attitudes seem to be indicative of the thought in Australia today.
I'll try another image:
It's almost impossible to own an automatic weapon in Australia, and difficult to own most 'military style' semi-automatics. But that can be done (and I've done it), and owning basic semi-autos that aren't seen as military style is even easier.
Our gun laws aren't good - but people do navigate them when it matters to them.
I’m pretty sure I’ve met Gideon Polya as it happens - I also live in Melbourne, and it looks like the same bloke I ran into a few times at some university functions here.
