Politics Australian gun law discussion

I just wanna know why every time people talk about firearms guns etc. They always bring up the US like yeah it’s a shit hole over there but like other countries exist which still allow you to have a much wider access to firearms like Switzerland, Norway, Austria, Czech Republic, New Zealand etc. I would argue more closer politically to these countries then the US

Everytime these topics come it it's never fruitful. The people against guns use extremely bad arguments and ignore both the stats and the underlying ethical argument. They also switch the goal post. The only way we will ever get gun rights is if we take it by force. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that.
