So there's been a lot of shooting recently and the president isnt doing about it.
Australia had its worst mass shooting in 1996 on the 28th of April. 12 days later australia announced a bipartisan deal on sweeping gun control measures. The government brought back and destroyed over a million guns. We (australia) haven't had a mass shooting since.
Why is Trump not doing anything. Children are dying. People aren't living their full lives. If comforting those who have been through trauma and lost loved ones is all they can do b*llfucking sh*t. If saying it will be okay to those victims then saying that to gun owners should be fine too.
Sorry im just annoyed with how this has all been going down.
Now I’ll make this final post for like a month or something lol
Imagine after 9/11 the government went “f*ck the TSSA, there’s NOTHING we can do to stop these crazy terrorists, our amendment allows people to go through airports without proper screening... terrorists hijakin a plane wasn’t really s problem till after 2001”
Or when s bunch of stupid teenagers first strted drinking and driving / texting and driving the government went “There’s absolutely nothing we can do about people textibg or drinking behind the wheel... texting and driving wasn’t really a problem till after the iPhone was released”
There is other underlying issues, making these guns harder to get is just going to make them find other methods. School shootings wasnt really problem till after the 80s.
Yes this strategy worked so well in insurgencies in the middle east and other various countries. The only thing you need to cause government problems is a pick up truck, a rifle and some improv explosives. Especially in the case of America, the government needs cell towers and other infrastructure a lot more than any citizen would in your scenario.
The government can't and won't use anything like tanks or jets to glass their own infrastructure and people. They'd have control over a big pile of nothing. Even if they did that's just going to cause mass desertion and intervention from foreign agents.
Anyway this whole debate about assault rifles is dumb. Hardly any homicides are actually done by them. It wasn't till the late 80's that this became a more frequent thing. I would say a better investigation on the negative effects of anti depressants and other pharmaceutical antics is a lot bigger issue. 90% of the shooter were on some form of antidepressants.
As for the OP, australia style won't even work. The gun culture is entirely different and there's too many in circulation to collect and keep track of. Banning handguns would curb a lot more gun deaths than banning assault rifles. These deaths would just be replaced by more creative ways anyway. There's hardly any correlation with getting rid of guns and homicide rates.
