Not being allowed to own a firearm for the specific purpose of self-defence in Australia might be seen by an American to be a loss of personal freedom, whereas an Australian might suggest that needing a firearm for self defence in the home is symptomatic of a far greater loss of freedom.
As Hoppdoc pointed out this is not the case throughout the US.. I sleep most nights with my doors unlocked and auto outside unlocked as well..and I do agree, there are areas in the larger city's I would NOT travel without a gun.. the old philosophy of I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 seems to apply..
Having said that, you nor anyone else will never convince me the goverment should have the authority to say you can or can not have a firearm-or what type for that matter.-that is not a democracy..IMHO
