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.

I have fired a handgun before and it was an incredible rush - even just at paper targets. I'm glad that such weapons aren't easily available in Australia, because I like to think of myself as a reasonable person (with a mildly addictive personality) and even the possibility of being able to do that kind of damage to another human being - even one I disagree with, or dislike - scares me.
