Australia

So I shoot an ancient 22 for fun. Cards on the table.

I actually think Australian gun laws are a mix of good and bad but the reaction to this is very kneejerk.

Some stuff like magazine limits is hilarious, it's a metal box and a spring. If you wanna kill people it's trivial to make. The new limits in nsw are a bit low and don't really account for the different risks guns pose, nor do they address the problematic aspect of stockpiling ammo.

Cartridges are hard to make, give me a cartridge and I can turn a nail and pipe into a crude but lethal firearm. A 3d printer and a pretty decent disposable gun. A few months with a computer and a garage and I could make an extremely lethal and durable weapon from scratch.

We currently don't do much to stop people piling up ammo. In nsw at least less scrutiny is applied to the nth gun in a calibre than the first which is arse backwards.

I wish more people knew more about these things so we could have better laws.

Also as a vegan, every carnist that feels disgust at hunting but not farms makes me actually sick. Hunting is way less brutal for a number of reasons, even horrific stuff like hunting pigs is waaaaaay less bad in scale than your nommy bacon farming where they die screaming in gas chambers by the billion.
