Look, snobbiness has nothing to do with it. It's all about payoffs and greed. There's a lot going on in Australia with "guns" in general. Google "Port Arthur 1996" when you get a chance. The fallout was unbelievable. Some real, some perceived, and some imaginary. All sprinkled with a healthy dose of fear and political fealty.

Bottom line, it's taken nearly 20 years to get toy guns back into the country. And a boat load of political contributions and lobbying. All the Australians are paying for when they buy Nerf blasters is payoffs to government officials, political campaigns, and lobbyists.

Sorry Aussies, you got the short end of the stick. Your politicians are gonna need a lot more payola before you get to play with orange triggers.

Ugh, sometimes the truth is ugly.
