Never said those miniscule problems Australia has involve smart people. They don't, they're dumb. They get away with it because Melbourne is basically California.

Fact is, US thugs are absolute pussies. Bar maybe bikies. The countries like Germany, Ireland, UK, Australia, NZ legitimate thug types have to rely on physicality, not a man made ranged killing instrument to be intimidating or scary..

In the US, you take a gun away from a thug and they stop being a threat. Give a thug a gun and you have a dangerous, dyslexic spastic.

In the countries listed, take away a gun from a thug and they're still dangerous. Give them a gun & they're even more dangerous.
