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?

@dick - guns are indeed different in their effect on the population than booze or drugs - no question.

the point I was making is that trying to outlaw ANY of them is bound to fail. We have seen the failure of the attempt to outlaw booze and our current attempt to outlaw drugs.

the u.s. has many seaports and many of our firearms are already made outside the u.s.

and do we just outlaw semi-auto rifles?

remember the jerk that did the fort hood shooting in 2009 - only needed one semi auto pistol and he was among soldiers trained in combat.

(I'm not arguing - just thinking out loud - I know we won't solve it today - just discussing an important topic)
