Mostly because everyone else is also there, and unwilling to change.

Australia has not “banned guns”. They have some very strict restrictions on who can own them, but they’re absolutely possible to obtain.

Fuck me there’s some ignorant people here.

You can get semi automatic hunting weapons relatively easily, same as in New Zealand.

The whole “women’s clothing has no pockets” situation happened because women buy clothing with no pockets, then complain about the lack of pockets.

If you made men’s clothing with no pockets, you’d have a bunch of clothes nobody wants.

Much the same way as women’s clothing not having pockets.

If you made men’s clothing with no pockets, you’d have a bunch of unsold men’s clothing with no pockets.

That’ll do it.
