But yea, they do take them away from dangerous individuals as they should.
Firearms should be taken away from the mentally ill. They should be taken away from the alcohol and drug addicted. Mainly to prevent suicide. They should be taken away from domestic abusers. They should be taken away from those who express threats of violence, such as those who are disturbed teens, or someone angry at their co workers, or a race or religion. But the easiest way is for the seller to give a fuck at the time of purchase. Rather than what we do now which is react after the fact which is more expensive in response and medical bills and PTSD.
Our allies think America is bat shit nuts with the ease of access we have here.
We have established that you are in favor of banning guns in the US.
Fact - Australia did indeed ban gun ownership AS A RIGHT - you have to get the government to agree with your reasoning for owning firearms. If it is a right - you don' t have to justify youself.
This isn' t to say the government can' t take away an individual's rights - they can - but the burden of proof is placed upon the government. That' s what a right is.
There has to be adjudication.
If you want the US "to go Australian" with gun laws - you are in favor of repealing the 2nd Ammendment.
