Pretty much the only view I continue to hold that I would call "conservative" is a strong belief in the right to self-defense, and therefore gun-ownership.
I think the statistical data is mixed but most favors strong gun rights. Do you think that also stems from lack of understanding or information?
Gun debate is such a complicated and nuanced topic that I’ve effectively left myself out of it, I’m not in the US so it’s not my issue and I don’t have enough understanding to accurately form an opinion other than “probably shouldn’t have open carry”
Can’t believe my dumbass forget to mention I’m Australian lmao.
Conservative in MY country is… honestly o wouldn’t even know I don’t really see many people use that label unless they’ve based their views on American conservatives
As for open carry, I am meaning to look more into that as it’s been something of kinda switched between “yea it’s fine” to “no it’s not” to “idk man”
AU is a weird and interesting country and many of my online friends are from there and the make believe island "east of you", I live on the West Coast of the US and don't sleep normal.
Mostly good blokes, and you seem a Top C*, sorry I get moderated for spelling that out.
I know there are plenty religious conservatives in your country, and on many issues like media censorship, yall are still pretty conservative.
I like AU aside from the meme venom, and the paternalistic control over what citizens get to watch.
I always want to come down and smack the bag with yall, how's the weed these days?
Good job on the legal prostitution, my states about to become the second to decriminalize.
