Very good point Mike.

I was not saying to destroy all guns as there are many people who have firearms as a hobby, and even more that require them to keep properties clear.
What I disagree with on this overall debate is that Australia is worse off for bringing these laws in to place.
And to suggest that a similar law in USA would make things even worse than they currently are is a very one eyed view on things.
To have a loaded gun in a draw or to carry it in your pocket is not responsable action that any sane person would think is OK (in my opinion)
