anti 2nd amendment
I read an interesting article about this topic recently, it was written by a history professor and was published in a historical association magazine and was about todays highly mobile society.
The theory was that the mass relocations of displaced persons caused by the two great wars (and to a lesser extent locally, the depression and 'dirty thirties') developed a nearly global mind set that if the living conditions where you were weren't all that great you could just pack up, and move somewhere better.
His theory was that this shift in thinking was the top of the slippery slope, people no longer would take the effort to preserve their way or quality of life, or their societies values or legal or moral standards, but would instead just abandon them in favour of 'greener pastures' when things changed for the worse.
As a person who is proud to say I'm the ninth generation of of my family to farm and live (if only part time) on the same land, I can tell you, not too many others in my area let alone Province can say the same thing.
The days of people staying in a particular area for many generations is sadly, long past I'm afraid.
Mind you, there are also less than 60% of the people in my area who are willing to even show up to vote......
BTW, another benefit of being a private pilot was raised here, I can carry a firearm while in flight!
Best of luck.

anti 2nd amendment
I think before you get too far into the Australian Cheerleading Squad you better do a little research on the Australian Governments idea of gun control.
Their gun control laws have virtually banned private possession of firearms including pump-action shotguns and all semiautomatic firearms (even .22 rimfire caliber firearms) and provides for the government to pay people to turn in such firearms for destruction, in other words, the law says you MUST 'sell' your guns to the government for what THEY SAY THEY ARE WORTH which is nearly zip since they are illegal.
The laws provide for a person to possess a non-military semiautomatic long gun, or pump action shotgun, for professional use ONLY if the authorities can be convinced that the person has a "genuine need.". A "genuine reason" (to the government) is required for a person to have a lesser firearm.
Protection of life is NOT to a valid reason for having a firearm, neither is sport hunting or target shooting.
Best of luck.
