Just so.
The last mass shooting in Australia was in 1996. Our government introduced strict guns laws within weeks. I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but there have been no mass shootings in Australia since then. Very few armed robbers today have a gun, usually it's a screw driver or a hammer or something similar . (the type of person who robs liquor stores and such can't afford a gun on the black market)

Unless one is a farmer it's almost impossible to legally have gun at home. A person may belong to a gun club, but their firearm,(s) must stay locked up at the club.
In my opinion if you live in a city with rule of law, you have no need for a fire arm.
I've always had trouble trying to get my head around what seems to me to be a wilful misinterpretation of the US second Amendment***
***much of the First Amendment has been removed by the Patriot Act and establishment of the Department of Homeland Security (imo)
Please don't misunderstand. I love the US, it's a beautiful country. I was always treated with respect and friendliness. (even in New York)
Of course most of the people I met were relatives, of which there were heaps .Sadly, there's only two left now, the rest have died.(my Canadian born mother was the baby of her family. Mum died in 2019 at age 92)
