    Yeah man, fuck our lack of school shootings and our radically reduced gun-related violence! We’re the worst!

    Not that I’m saying that would work in America - Australia has safer (though not perfect) law enforcement.

    If I were American, I’d probably also fiercely advocate to keep my guns, too. When your own country can’t guarantee safety, you have to.

      I don’t read their comment as critical of Australia. It’s just that if you’re establishing a scale of gun reform, Australia is at the extreme end. In the US, full Australia isn’t a realistic goal.

        Extreme end? You mean the fucking normal, everyday, global method of not letting psychos and kids have guns? Yeah, so extreme. Amercian’s have the weirdest fetishes.
