In my almost 60 years of life here, the only guns I have ever seen here are the armed police occasionally at airports, and that's only in the last 10 years or so.
I like guns and I think they're a lot of fun.
But for the life of me I can't understand this mad fetish that the US has for them.
But then, in Oz they've never been a huge issue. Even before the gun buy back in '96 not that many people had them.
To be honest though, against most of the things that want to kill you here, guns really aren't that effective.
If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
