It was in 1996 that citizens voluntarily voted in gun control.

That was the beginning of the end for the Land Down Under.

Australians have an odd psyche toward the U.S. Many of the older people I met told me wistfully that Australia always followed the U.S. in all things eventually. Although, I told them that they should not. In contrast, the younger Australians always seemed too smug about their culture as compared to ours, feeling it was obviously superior in almost every way. Of course, I felt otherwise, and soon discovered the best and most effective retort. I would cite the Bruen decision, telling them that I had an absolute constitutional right to walk down the street with a rifle slung over my shoulder. Their reaction was priceless: they simply could not process that level of individual freedom. It was like asking a calculator to divide by zero, it just boggled the system and would not compute.
