No offense, I lived in Perth for a time. Got my ass kicked by a few Aussies. I know it sucks to admit it, but America won’t surrender her guns, you guys did. I doubt that you are conservative at all. I met damn few freedom-loving Aussies when I was there... Actually... ZERO.
Your nation elected Obama twice. I don’t label all Americans because of that.
I am a conservative. And I didn’t give up any guns. Ever.
I own my weapons legally because I went out and did what I needed to do to do so. But if there hadn’t been a legal way of doing it - well, I’m not going to say I’d have broken the law. But I will say that are certainly situations in which I would break a law if I believed it was wrong. And I’m not the only one.
Fortunately legal avenues remained for me, and so I took them. I wouldn’t break the law lightly either.
HMS Surprise, hey? Well, I was a boy Midshipman - joined the Royal Australian Navy at fifteen.
