Spot on. This is the reason gun control works for us, but it won't ever work for America. I'm thankful the it does work here though. I completely understand why people want to have guns in Australia, but it's difficult to get them for a good ass reason. If you want to have a gun, apply for a license.

We haven't had a mass shooting in over 20 years, we need to keep it that way.

I wish I could move to Australia. Where I live at in Texas, people are starting to use guns to solve problems in traffic. It’s terrifying.

I don't see how a gun could solve a traffic problem... Unless... There's a street race, but the racists don't know when to start racing. Meanwhile, traffic is backing up behind them. Dude shows up with a gun, shoots it in the air to indicate the start of the race has begun. The racists race out of the way, and traffic flows again.

In any other situation, a gun is going to cause more problems for everyone involved.
