As far as I know Australia's violent crime has been on a steady decline for 50 or so years.
Meanwhile in the Northwest US, the police are refusing to respond in force thanks to Covid, and they get stood down by the mayors and governors whenever anarchists want to burn a neighborhood or two down. So yeah, we'll keep our guns, thank you and goodbye.
I have no problem with it as long as you teach them proper safety and keep the guns locked up when you're not teaching/training. Handling weapons is a useful skill but you Yanks gotta make it so guns are not freely accessible to kids and crazies.
I used to go out in the woods with a semiautomatic .22 to get after rodents and varmint, especially while mom was out and dad was working out of town. Around the time I turned 13 I decided I was too old for that kind of thing.
I now see how irresponsible that would be now. In light of the rising cost of ammo, my future kids will start off with a bolt-action instead.
O but mention the phrase shrimp on the barbie and super offended Australian appears
O how about mention Dingo ate my baby?
Yeah not so posh now are you?
