Since, however, gun-control advocates keep pointing to Australia as the standard of comparison, it's appropriate to respond to them on their own terms. <br /><br />And the fact that something isn't a gospel issue doesn't mean it's off-limits.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-73692967692678568072016-03-02T05:37:04.498-05:002016-03-02T05:37:04.498-05:00People on both sides of the debate in the US shoul...People on both sides of the debate in the US should stop referring to Australia. We (I am Australian) have a completely different history, culture, laws and a different police force.
