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?

@buck ... wish I had bookmarked it, but one of the best proposals I saw/have seen would end sales and transport of weapons used by the military or modeled after the same. So yeah - AR15s, M16s and the like.

A 'buy-back' would be conducted by some level of government(federal most likely.). An owner could choose to keep his gun for home defense or display in a collection - but could not transport it or sell/give it to anyone else.

This wouldn't result in total elimination of civilian-owned military grade weapons. But it would result in getting a bunch of them off the 'street' and end the distribution/sale of more of them. A 'first step' if you would.
