So, apparently a 21 year old man in Bathurst has been charged with various offences after police found numerous books detailing how to make pipe bombs, the materials for making pipe bombs, some pipe bombs, and over 50 stolen snakes in his home.

None of the offences are terrorist offences.

Interesting. 🤔

Research shows the visible presence of long arms in public actually *reduces* both objective and subjective measures of safety.

1. This does not make most people feel more safe.

The visible presence of instruments of death and maiming in a context has measurable and pernicious effects on free speech and even free thought. The visible presence of firearms tends to increase most people's level of stress hormones (adrenaline, cortisol), triggering our fight/flight/freeze response while inhibiting higher order cognitive functions. Even where this effect is mild, across a whole population over time, it makes a cultural difference.

Research also shows people tend to self-censor more while in the presence of firearms, and are less likely to be generous or vulnerable.
