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?

Guns are a little different to alcohol and drugs. (I completely with the war on drugs, and think if we just legalised some of it, places like Mexico wouldnt be as ravaged by drug wars) See, while you raise this, and it sounds valid at first, when you compare the number of mass shootings, heck, shootings in general, within the US to the number of shootings in say the UK, where guns are basically illegal, its not even close. Tens of times bigger, its ridiculous!

And my main point is, why was he allowed to get an automatic rifle?! You dont shoot one person with those! Theres no way you can justify anyone that isnt a freaking SWAT team or the army possessing anything close to that. Unless "protection" means being able to murder everyone in a 100 yard radius!
