Australia is a country of twenty five million people that was founded on the idea of Federalization. America is a country of over three hundred million forged in fire and founded by revolution which almost single handedly defeated Nazism and communism. Australia gave us Paul Hogan and the boomerang.

Apples and oranges. If you think Australia is a safe place why don't you go to Knightsbridge in Perth or Kings Cross in Sydney and tell me how safe you feel among the drug traffickers and organized crime. Google Pauline Hanson while you are at it and see for yourself hoe many people regret handing over their guns afrer a government funded knee jerk reaction to a horrible school shooting.
