The worst part of Australian gun control debates are that we have a bunch of people who've never owned guns, but want more because they think it will protect them; and a bunch of dangerous people who do, who want more guns to be more threatening.
I am, without a doubt, an unashamed gun nut. I love every aspect of them, from the physical shape, through to the mechanical design. They are wonderful pieces of precise engineering.
I am also an unashamed gun control nut. I think no one, including myself, should own guns. Guns should be owned by clubs, by companies doing pest control, or the government. Anyone else owning a gun, deactivated or not, is a danger to society.
People who want guns should never own them; it's something my dad drilled into me from a young age, while teaching me about them
