They have a lot of farmland, and a lot of pests, so there’s a huge number of people who have a legitimate need for a firearm. There’s also a pretty strong recreational shooting community.
I don’t know why people think you can’t have guns in Australia, but it’s just not true.
Huh? Australia has the world’s tightest gun laws.
Not even close to being true.

It’s quite true that you can own a gun, and yes it’s not all that hard, but there are not many little shits getting a hold of them. If any.
Its not even remotely comparable to the US for example.
The US is a whole different world though, they have some gun accidents that would be incomprehensible where I live.
Our laws are that a firearm has to be in a locked safe when not in use, and the rules around transporting a firearm are pretty strict as well.
People just have loaded guns in their bedside cabinet in the states.
Yeh people can get guns but kids would have a really, really hard time getting access to one. Knives, easy, but guns? No.
