To many Americans, guns are associated with freedom And for me that doesnt make sense.. because for me freedom is without guns.
Here is an article I found, I posted it as a comment on my last article on Guns are for killing.. but I think it deserves a special mention on it's own it might clear up a little of the confusion on why I think society here, where I live is different to American society.

And this i will post in its entirety maybe Baker you might understand Australians more from this.. The Australian/American Gun Law Debate By Gabrielle Reilly Being an Australian American, I regularly find myself in the middle of the great gun debate between the two countries’ philosophies on gun ownership.

Baker, I dont see the Olympics as being practical, it is a sport, not something that people make use of, it is entertainment not practicality. In the society that I live in there is no use for a gun, I agree with you, that in the outback or in farming situations that guns may be of use, other than that I really dont see any practical, and by practical i mean of true human benefit, other than to kill.

Baker I agree with your points wholeheartedly! It should be a two way street! We should be trading equally, unfortunately we are talking about large corporations who are expoliting the workers rather than helping the people that they should be, the workers. Thanks Baker.

Hey imajinit! long time no see I know how ure feeling after moving twice in the last month, there is so much shit we do carry everywhere with us hey. But like you there are somethings that I really love to keep.

We only had rabbits, so I am sure other animals do it as well. Of course you have to be looking at them when it is coming, but they know! Wow that is really interesting! Hmm maybe we should all get ourselves some rabbits.
