Apology accepted, Greg.
All I ask is that you do not use me or anything I say to start a political discussion.
Even if I wasn't a licensed armorer/pryotechnician I was asking about import laws
of prop/replica weapons – not gun ownership. Please do not project your issue with
another American producer onto me. Just because you were on the receiving end
of a rant from someone else does not mean I was going to rant. No preemptive
defense needed.
If I want to have a discussion (or even read) about American assumptions and the
opposition to gun ownership in any country I know where to go. Here I talk about
filmmaking.
I have worked in Britain so I understand their laws. The only time I worked in
Australia I was working as a camera operator so I don't know their import laws.
