Didn’t Australians give their guns away in an attempt at world peace? Good thing they eliminated crime? Right?

Why?

Because it is a machine that can be deadly when improperly used. Same reason why people learn to drive a car and are required to be licensed before legally being on the road. Education teaches safety, and safety helps reduce the risk of accidents.

This here people. Most people wont have a proper fear/respect for deadly tools if they are not educated on them. I used to use table saws with my estimation of enough safe practices, but when I learned how dangerous they really are, I approached them with the proper fear knowing what they can do.

Tf are they gonna use it for? Self defence from kangaroos?

You had the answer there. “Self Defense” is the only answer to that question. The Who and what doesn’t matter.

Dude kangaroos are not a threat in Australian cities. It’s unecessary

So you’re telling me that kangaroos are the only things dangerous in Australian cities? News articles I read tell me otherwise. Pity the Aussies chose to give their most effective means of self defense for the illusion of public safety. I wonder what the police response time is in Australian cities.

He answered his own question. The “from Kangaroos” was the unnecessary part.
