In Australia we have much tighter gun control than the USA. Therefore to defend oneself 
ingenuity must be applied. “Rebel Sports stores across Melbourne are running out of baseball bats as customers take fears of gang violence into their own hands.
The spike in sales, mentioned on 3AW radio’s ‘Rumour File’ segment on Wednesday, has seen Victoria’s Highpoint, Watergardens, Dandenong and Frankston stores almost sell out of bats for the sport.”
“The sales are thought to be linked to public fear of the growing Apex gang – said to have at least 100 members across Greater Melbourne.”
“The Apex gang is said to have taken its name from Apex Street in the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Dandenong North.
Victoria Police set up ‘Taskforce Tense’ in November 2015 specifically to target the growing gang of mainly young African-Australian men living on Melbourne’s fringe.” http://thenewdaily.com.au/news/state/vic/2016/07/20/apex-gang-melbourne/
Note these thugs are a “gang of mainly young African-Australian men”! Some African immigrant parents are so disturbed by the actions of their young sons that they have shipped them back to Africa to live with relatives.
So what does 
Australia need at this point of time? You guessed it; “The Black Lives Matter movement has arrived in Australia and is striking a chord with the Indigenous population, says a prominent US activist who is visiting the country.” http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-19/black-lives-matter-movement-is-coming-to-australia/7640506
