I agree with Warrigul police, security guards there life is no more valuable than you or I or anyone else. We all should have the right to defend ourselves.
A life is a life we are all just the same under it all. As always the minority idiots like Martin Bryant make life worse for the rest of us. But like with anything else the minority ruin it for the majority of great people.
One of my friends told me when I took up shooting at the range oh gun owners are bad people be careful. I've met so many nice genuine people in the sport of shooting. I've met bigger idiots and more aggressive people on the golf course than at the shooting range.
It's all just perception and most peoples perception of guns and gun owners is way off base
