"But how can they be so stupid to think they are better off unarmed. They are a formerly wilderness society, like the US. Where did they ever get the idea that personal ownership of guns is a bad thing? I guess I’m being naive, but I don’t know a lot about their history."

Big difference compared to the U.S. We had many freedom-loving, God-fearing Scots Irish pioneers; whereas Australia was just a British penal colony consisting of the dregs of society.
