I got ideas. You say won't work. I proved they did work, before our rights and liberty was taken away.

I guess you let a bully, keep bulling not only you, but all the other kids.
The 'solutions' being offered up so far by the US are certainly being laughed at by the rest of the world, and a percentage of you own population as well.

Your gun laws simply DO NOT work. That is plain for all the world to see.

Some of us are immensely fortunate to live in countries where our gun laws DO work.

America could do far worse than to look at countries who's gun laws do work and learn from them.

It is tragic. No point sugar coating it.
That adds, nor takes away from the facts.
What grand idea do you have, that will not infringe on my right to keep & bear arms?
Emotions running the narrative, only lead to mental breakdowns, as the truth becomes viral.

Your gun laws... enough said foreigner!
You have no understanding of the founding, or the origin of the US Constitution to even be debating this right that makes the USA unique. The ignorance I was arguing with, makes complete sense now.

We had a gun problem in Australia. We cared enough to fix it.

You are subjects of the ruling class elites in Aussie and always have been. Not sovereign individuals, with as much power as your king & queens. You guys, like all other nations in the world, are in bondage to your government.
What grand idea do you have, that will not infringe on my right to keep & bear arms, so I don't shoot you for trying?
That's your choice, not mine.

On top of that they are a nation founded by convicts. Servility is in their genes....It wasn't until AFTER they followed their Monarchs orders and died by the thousands in WW1 that they even started thing like a Independent Nation. ( ANZACS kicked but though. Pommys let them get wiped out!)

No you didn't, you had one nut case that went off and killed 35 people. Your country then, over the actions of one chose to take the choice of owning a firearm (with high regulations) or not from you, and you were complacent about it.

This is true. Over one nut case, Australia was able to disarm its law abiding populace. That was the goal. The government didn't want a populace that could defend themselves legally. They wanted SHEEP. They are now dependent on government for the most part. Sad.

Thank goodness the U.S. Constitution recognizes the Natural Right of self defense with a firearm.

BUt public opinion on guns and the rights of citizens to own them, is drastically changing though, even though its a deception campaign, taking advantage of the publics compassion, especially towards children, in order to sway the opinion on guns.

Its very clever what they are doing, if they can succeed with gun laws, this same tactic can be used in other areas too, and I believe it has been already.

We are basically being swayed to accept tyranny on extreme levels under the disguise of safety/ security. There really is no better way to go about changing public opinion on issues, its pretty effective!
