yeah, I'm all for gun control, and here in Australia I think we have it fairly spot on.
the main thing our laws revolve around is "legitimate reason for ownership".
and "Protection" isn't one of them.
you cant have anything semi auto, auto or pump-action.
and hand guns are really only for target shooters, armed guards and armed forces.
I live fairly rural so I have a few rifles.
I've got a shot gun for clay pigeon shooting.
a .22mag bolt action for varmint shooting
and a .308 for taking down roo's and pigs.
and I have an inspection about once a year to make sure they're still safe to use, and are safely stored away from ammo.
guns are fine... just don't give them to psychos.
... or Americans :P

I'd take my dogs over a gun any day.
