You are forgetting that the world’s population has been increasing at a rate of a billion every twelve years for almost half a century. And we’re still growing...

I don't think their murder rate dropped afterwards.

Sadly Americans on both sides are not willing to work together on this issue. There are some however like myself that think there should be some kind of middle ground reached, but even that is nearly impossible in today's political climate.

Oddly, I hear more voices calling for compromise and moderation than I do fanatically immovable people who know WHAT'S NEEDED HERE!

We don;t need to cold dead hands our guns or ban em, you mean?  The people on the talking box keep telling me otherwise. Wink
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

At least until they get a provision allowing them to freely export guns worldwide to active conflict zones.  Then the nickels and dimes rednecks are passing out won;t be so crucial compared to the stolen wealth of entire countries in a single unregulated transaction.

There are already too many guns here, you know, markets flooded? It;s hard to make a buck making guns these days, folks are going under left right and center.

America - Colonised by the brave and the free. Freedom to be protected at all cost.

Both make sense. 2 completely different beginnings. 2 Radically different endings. Both great democracies. Dunno

This is a non-sequitur. Australia had guns for centuries. They passed restrictive gun legislation in 1996. The fact that they were originally a penal colony has zero to do with their current access to weapons.

It did: https://www.factcheck.org/2017/10/gun-co...a-updated/

Also worth noting that the number of mass shootings plummeted.

RE: School Shootings
If australias laws are restrictive enough to satisfy I;m all for it.  What would I have to do, send the government a note from myself as a property owner saying I hunt on my property and pass a background check?  Show them the gun safety cert I had to get for my hunting license?  Send a picture of my ammo safe and trigger locks?  

No problem.  I had to do most of that already, anyway.

It'd probably take a hell of alot longer to effect the necessary buybacks..but it;s a process, right.
