John Howard got rid of the high powered weopons which went a long way to solving the problems....
Guns are controlled here and hard to get....People do go hunting but it's slowing down with less and less each year.....
The sale of toy guns barely even exist in my state following the Martyn Bryant incident....Folks down here don't let their kids even play with guns...
There is a gun store close by to me....They'd have gone broke years ago except for the fact that they now sell discount smokes....
Of course we have target shoots as our Gold Olympic medalists are proof of....
Yes there are collectors of old and low powered guns....
No we don't have armed gangs on every street corner so no we don't need guns to protect ourselves....
carjackings are rare as hens teeth....Hardly ever happens....
Crooks do manage to get some guns....But the penalties for possesion of an illegal gun are harsh....
Armed robbery does happen though mostly with a knife or loaded needle
Cops carry guns.....Security guards don't....
Farmers have guns for shooting roos and foxes but that's all heavily controlled....
The bottom line is that you can't go out and buy a gun on any street corner down here...
And when someone in the street asks you what time it is you can stop to answer without fear of them pulling a gun on you
