No, not all Commonwealth countries have the same constitutions at all. NZ and UK are in sharp contrast to AUS.
Your laws are only as good as those enforcing it. You can have all the Bill of Rights you like. Is it being upheld in the US? No more than anywhere else.
People moan about the gun issue. It's not even remotely the same thing as the US. The countries were form completely differently. Why on earth should every country have the same structure? It's culturally illogical.
You can still own weapons in Australia. Yes, there are licenses, but there's also less in circulation with criminals. If the US authorities wish to take your weapons, guess what? They will. You can "they won't take muh guns" all you like, but they will sneak in like a thief in the night and do it. You're out gunned regardless when it comes to defense against the military. See point 2.
Freedom of speech? Australia has fairly decent implied freedom of speech laws, the UK is not Australia. Where is the US's freedom of speech right now? How is that being upheld? They have ways, very, very viable ways to circumvent 1A. People have just grown to passively accept that "Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences" and ergo, have in turn come to accept that freedom from consequences means if you say shit, you get hit and then your Soros backed DA will make sure you don't get charged for your crime, yet you go and protest an illegal election and you sure as shit DO understand those consequences.
Besides, I didn't say go do your research, I said be informed. There's a leaning I've seen towards victimhood in people here. Like "my state, my country etc isn't as great as ____". Yet if you look at the application unilaterally, how are the laws really being applied? See point 2, again.
Agree with you,magaprincess,those are very good points you have layed out there.
Getting firearms in Australia is not that hard,sure there are some hoops to jump through,but they aren't that bad.Check the relevant legislation in your state.
You can still get very decent rifles.A good example is Australia's favourite,the 303,
the MK 3 S,M,LE.(Short,Magazine,Lee Enfield)Also British And Canadian No4 Lee Enfields.
Investigate the cost of recalibrating to 7.62 NATO or for less recoil,243,6.5 Creedmor.The Lee Enfield has a fast,smooth bolt action.Google"Mad Minute"
for rate of fire that can be achieved.
There are many firearms you can legally own and use in Australia.
