I Have a Question

So if stricter gun control won't solve anything why has it worked so goddamn well in Australia?

How many mass shootings have they had since the 90's? Even one?

How many has the US had? Something like 70.

Why is strict gun control "not working" so effectively over there?

first of all - I don't own a gun, haven't fired one since high school, and worked in a law enforcement support job that requires me to handle guns used in crimes and bloody clothing of people shot and/or killed by them - so please understand I am not advocating guns be sold in vending machines.

my point was that even with all the rules we have in florida - even with all the hoops he had to jump through - he killed 2 score and 9.

So by not making it easy...what do we do? (serious question)

Prohibition didn't work with booze in the 20s - and the war on drugs has only made criminals richer. So I can't see taking guns away as the answer - how do we make it harder for them?
