seldearAs I understand it, Australia has relatively strict gun control laws. I'm not sure exactly what those laws are, never having required the use of a firearm. (Any of the Aussies know?)
US Constitution's Second Amendment? Gun registration?
And where do you stand on the matter of "the right to bear arms" and why? Would love to hear from all sides of the fence and the pond.

Date: 2007-04-20 12:29 am (UTC)The Constitution is very clear -- you can practice a religion, even if it's stupid... you can stand on the sidewalk and tell people the end is near without being arrested... you can protest whatever the hell you want as long as you do it peacefully... and you have the right to bear arms. The colonists didn't write that INTO the Constitution so they could get rid of the British -- that's completely backwards.
