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...
I’ve already visited my local gunshop this morning. He’s not just ignorant. He’s blind.
The gun laws aren’t good and there are a lot of dumb restrictions. But there are millions of guns in private hands and scores, if not hundreds of gun shops.
