[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2060117, member: 711"] Outside urban areas the Aussies used to be very firearm friendly folks. I refereed at the World skeet shoots in San Antonio several times. I became friends with several shooters from Oz. Made the mistake of trying to keep up with them drink for drink one evening. Can't be done, and in those days I was a real contender. But, much like the US, the urban areas tended toward gun control, and I believe the Tasmanian shootings were the event that resulted in their draconian approach to gun ownership. I did not know until now that the shooter was from Hobart. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur_massacre_(Australia)[/url] [/QUOTE]
