Oh yes, Victoria certainly opened a lot of eyes during covid!

I'm actually from the UK originally so it's interesting to watch both countries unfold. The latest proposals on gun laws for Australia are what have already been in place for much longer in the UK. Although we've had some state governments here going around removing guns from licensed holders who have professed to being "sovereign citizens".

I know people in the US like to bring up Australia as the example for gun laws being effective, which is actually false because gun deaths were already on a downward trajectory before the Port Arthur shootings and the laws being introduced. Apart from that blip they continued on the same downward trajectory as before.
