Wait what? Your opinion has nothing to do with the discussion question, you just spoke about gun prohibition in different countries due to the demand on the product of the weapon. Are we discussing prohibition of weapons or whether or not a weapon is okay to use as self defense against your attacker?

In Australia, you can get fined a large sum of money for using a weapon as self defense against an attacker if you attack them first, which I think is bullshit because for rape victims, if they try protecting themselves and cause injury to the attacker, they can get sued with no compensation for the trauma that they could've received from the attempted rape..

Edit: even using pepper spray is illegal tool as self defense in Australia
