No we don't. And that was the solution to the problem, take rid of them
Yeah we do, you can still buy and own guns in Australia, it's just highly regulated and you have to have your weapon secured in a gun safe or at your gun club, which you have to be a member of to be able to purchase, I have a gun shop and a club just down the road from me and that clubs packed all weekend with people shooting.
No shit a shooting club is packed with people with a gun.
Doesn't mean Australia is packed with guns just because you see a handful of idiots down the road, that is not representative of the whole population. As you said heavily regulated, there's virtually no guns besides farms and the club down the road from you. Quick search puts AU at 14.5 guns per 100 population. Quite low in the list and well below civilised places like Canada, Switzerland and many eu countries.
What people on reddit and lemmy don't seem to understand is that the shock caused by ONE mass shooting, port Arthur, and the policies introduced as a consequence shifted a country that was similar to the US in terms of gun ownership to become similar to a western European country. Ie guns are virtually non existent (unless you leave next door from a shooting range, apparently that needs to be made clear).
Guns are certainly not 'virtually non existent' in Australia. Your comment is written with such gusto and pride but reeks like a 12 year old wrote it after hearing about it in history class last week.
Shush.
Guns are certainly not as abundant as you write in your first comment. Or abundant at all

Edit: oh wait you are not even the guy I was replying to. So you just came here to add nothing, make a wrong statement and insult me. How about you wait until next year, go through that history class yourself, and then you can tell us what you think about how Australia managed to implement gun control? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/15/it-took-one-massacre-how-australia-made-gun-control-happen-after-port-arthur
