I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?

Not looking for a debate here, discuss cold drinks vs hot drinks instead. Appreciate either answer. ❤️

    I’m pretty sure Aussies can also get recreational/competition permits. I’ve seen a few Aussies on YouTube who shoot PRS.

      You can, but you need to have a sensible reason to own one. “self defense” isn’t a reason, it is a fantasy.

      Plenty of people have target guns and other stuff for club and sport shooting, all carefully locked up when not in use, as is the law, so accidents don’t happen.

      Incidentally, we did have a school shooting in the last thirty years. In SA, I believe. No one died and they tightened the restrictions. It worked.
