Omg that sticker? For real?

everyone else thinks it's fair to fight with rocks while law enforcement fights with bullets

Not if they're fat - how will they dodge incoming fire? 😜

Look I get it in principle - I've worked hard to understand it. I guess it's just as incomprehensible to you that Australia DOESN'T have guns. It wouldn't occur to us to have to fight the government with firearms. It's not part of our history but I totally understand it's part of yours. I concede always its far more complex that we can see as an outsider.

When you say 'largely media', I think what a lot of us just can't understand is school shootings. No matter how they are reported, they still happen, and if you can't protect your kids, you have an issue. The Port Arthur massacre rattled Australia so much that the immediate assault rifle ban was utterly supported. To think you've had so many more massacres since then just freaks us all out.

Saying that, I wish we could get a gun to shoot the bloody rabbits round here.

Agreed, I'm not sure wtf is wrong with kids, either. Lack of parenting due to working too much, broken homes, processed food, I don't know what but, yeah, kids need help.


Little brother syndrome. I coined that, feel free to spread it around. After watching US from a distance for awhile, that's what it looks like, don't you think?

Parted ways (left the house) Big brother, little brother, always trying to outshine the other. A couple thousand years (UK) to a couple hundred years...

Everyone knows little brothers are loose cannons.

I don't carry, by the way, just saying. Not my thing. Never has been. Loaded 12-gauge in the closet I've never fired and, if things go my way, it never will be. Don't need it. I kill'em with my mouth.

Pura carries a .38 in her purse. She's practiced and trained, cert, yata yata.

I kill'em with my mouth.

Lethal!
