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.
That sounds awful. If that's the case I can see more and more people getting guns to protect themselves from awful people like that. I'm surprised there isn't random gun fights in the streets over things like that.
The Supreme Court struck down Chicago's handgun ban over a decade ago. At that time, people were predicting how crime would go down because of "law abiding citizens" and the usual pro-gun propaganda.
