Default Seen the best of it.

It seems that the Australian attitude/social context for and against firearms has roughly paralleled the Canadian experience.
The world that us older guys grew up in was undoubtedly a more respectful and more trusting world than we live in today.
The vast majority of the urban population now receives their firearms training at the movies or in front of the television in the lounge rooms of their broken homes. Night and day the message is drummed into them that guns are for use against people. What chance is there of withstanding the relentless torrent of gun glorification for putting down bad guys or imposing your will on others.
And that's only part of the problem. Drugs just weren't around when I was growing up.
It wasn't a perfect world by any means but in many ways it was a better one.
