There are dozens of shops in Sydney where you can legally buy a handgun. It’s not the time to go into American misunderstandings about Australian gun laws, but while they are bad, they are nowhere near a total ban.
An Australian gun owner.
That's a funny thing. I got into a debate with an Aussie who was rather left-wing and rabidly anti-American simply because of our "gun culture." He insisted that all guns were illegal in Australia and there was a total ban. Knowing only just a bit about the gun laws there, I called him on it. He called me an ignorant yank. Yet, he proved to be far more ignorant about his countries own gun laws.
Now back to the ongoing incident...
