The less guns in society, the happier I am.
Yeah the average punter likes to believe this, it's been pushed in the media relentlessly since Port Arthur. We need more gun laws, nobody needs a gun unless they are a farmer or police etc. How is it better when it only impacts the law abiding people who have something to lose from being thrown in jail ? Those on the other side of the law with illegal business interests don't bother with licensing etc, and they are the ones who get around armed in public, doing drive by shootings, occasionally killing each other, and in some cases innocent bystanders.
We have public land hunting here in Australia in several states and the few accidental deaths here have happened to hunters who were careless with their gun handling habits, and one case where a young but very experienced hunter took a new hunter along with him and was killed by the new hunter who shot at noise/movement in thick bush without getting a look at his target which wasn't a deer, but his mate.
There are around a million licensed recreational shooters in Australia, and their rate of accidents or violent crime is extremely low. Most would appreciate your military service and respect the fact you have no interest in firearms but we've heard all the Guns Are Bad stuff many times over, it doesn't win any converts to your point of view.
We're in a lot more danger driving/riding on the roads.
