I understand, here in Australia we don't have anywhere near the gun culture of the States but there's certainly guns here. After thirty three years of shooting and owning them I feel comfortable of course, but I understand that it can be an awkward topic for those not familiar with them. That's why I appreciate comments people make on posts like this.
You're right too, there's a lot of problems all over the place, there's a lot of sorting out to do huh?
