[Eye of Unk]

Of all countries Australia is second only to Switzerland for a place to be born, the economy and a better place to live.

America is 16th.

As far as gun ownership very few people realize what the laws in Oz are about, you can buy guns, you can make guns. Difference is Oz is trying to keep the guns away from people who don’t know what to do with them or are really dangerous people. Being a gunsmith I would make a tidy living with a simple machine shop making pistols or rifles, possibly a whole new breed. In America I expect Obama to make laws prohibiting the manufacture of weapons from say 2D printers.

In Oz its a vast new frontier, America is an invaded country, and not enough people are motivated to correct it.

I can see a better life in Oz, in America its too gloomy. And misery enjoys company here.
