Switzerland is the same, with a high rate of gun ownership.
From George Mason long
Plenty of people do argue that. They say they should have access as is their right under the 2nd amendment.Definitely sure an average yank can't take on the US gov't with a few assault rifles.
So if they're to go with the spirit of the Second Amendment, better upgrade the arms available to compete and have a chance against a potential tyrant in the White House.
Again, argue with the 2nd amendment.That's a complete load of bull$hite.
If the army wants to attack the citizens they have drones, laser guided missiles, helicopter gunships, tanks and whatever else those taxpayer citizens have kindly provided. They could stand off in their bases and flatten the houses of the people without raising a sweat and no little redneck with his AR can do anything about it.

There are a lot of gun owners in the US. They would outnumber the army 100:1(made up stat, too lazy to check) Vietnam did it. You could argue the Afghans did it as wellThat's a complete load of bull$hite.

We had guns here before. We didn't have the gun culture though. Pretty sure we had AR15, SKS, uzis all for sale.I'm just glad we don't have gun manufacturers in Australia. Else they'll be pushing for the same kind of freedom here too.

Those weren't manufactured in Australia though, right? I mean if we have manufacturers of any scale here, they'll established a proper culture where each family would have one or a dozen.
we have Lithgow Arms in Lithgow NSW, I think they are the biggest rifle manufacturer in the southern hemisphere.

prfff.. You call that an armed industry?

No, I call it a rifle manufacturer.
They don't have ammunition though.
Current and former Soldiers get to keep their rifles at home even after they have finished serving, However they do not hold ammunition, ammunition is stored at central locations controlled by the government.
So gun ownership is high, ammunition ownership is low.
Even Swiss citizens with private guns have regulations on quantities and types of ammunition they can purchase.
Looks pretty cool. But they're hard to get right?
btw, does our troops used Australian made rifles only or we buy them from the yanks?
What, not China ?
I know practically nothing about the military but a question for those who do.
If a war breaks out between the US and whoever, roughly what % of fighting will take place using soldiers on the ground carrying guns?
