[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently watched an Australian courtroom drama called Janet King. An entire season was devoted to a shipment of illegally imported guns. The govt launched a huge task force and splashy trial to arrest those responsible for selling a relatively small number of firearms. That’s how tightly weapons are controlled there. I almost had to laugh. And Australians have had conservative leadership for years! Why do our conservatives have such bloodthirst?[/quote] Australia used to have lax gun laws. When they enacted tighter regulation, they had a very successful buy-back program. IIRC, the change was sparked by a mass shooting, although I might be wrong about that part.[/quote] You are right about that part. Australia has had no mass shootings since one man killed 35 people in 1996. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur_massacre_(Australia)[/quote]
