Face it. Guns (and especially handguns and automatics, which is the main debate here) are designed to kill. That's it. You can use one as a paper weight if you're irresponsible but for the most part they exist to kill. How many other things can you say that for?


guns are illegal in Australia, to the point where owning one requires the police check up on you every 3 months

there is hardly ever any shooting deaths in Australia, knives are illegal too
