[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What additional gun control measures would have stopped this?[/quote]

I know! There's just nothing that can be done... It's just how it is  :cry: ... but... Thoughts-n-Prayers!

After the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, Australia (a country with a comparatively strong 'gun culture', at least by world standards) said "F**k this."

1) They made it illegal to import, buy, sell, trade or transfer semi-automatic weapons (the mass shooters' favorite!)
2) Btw, ammosexuals, they did NOT seize anyone's semi-automatic weapons. If you have them, and want them, fine, keep them -- just don't sell them or convey them to someone else, or you've committed a crime.
3) Simultaneously, they instituted a nationwide, no-questions-asked VOLUNTARY gun buyback program. If you have a firearm (any firearm, of any kind, operational or not) and would like to turn it in, the govt paid people $1,000 per gun (this was 25+ yrs ago.)

It's totally weird, but the mass shootings thing went way, way down. Imagine that.

These measures would do nothing in America. Some of them are probably unconstitutional.

Do you have anything else?[/quote]

What kind of an answer is this? Do YOU have anything else to stop school shootings?[/quote]

Get the mentally ill some real help, starting with the so called trans. [/quote]

+1 Just so long as we keep easy access to semi-automatic weapons, we'll be good.

p.s. for fun, Google "buy AR 15" - there's some fantastic End-of-Summer sales out there! [/quote]

No, thanks, I have a functional penis.[/quote]

Seriously.  We can hand out free Viagra and outlaw these ridiculous weapons.  It would be a better solution.[/quote]
