Gun Control is not about rights or liberty, it is about health and public safety, period, you don't have a right to endanger your neighbor

Australia has nearly eliminated mass shootings — here's what the US can learn
Australia has had one mass shooting since 1996.

Meanwhile, the United States has suffered 154 mass shootings (in which four or more people were killed by a lone shooter) in just the last six months. For perspective, we are 178 days into the year, which means the US has had nearly as many mass shootings as days in 2018. Australia has nearly eliminated mass shootings — here's what the US can learn

Here's what the US can learn?? Well, there's the full stop.

The US gun worshippers aren't interested in learning anything from anyone, anywhere. The US gun cult has a real superiority complex and their needs and wants come first. Guns are our friends. Guns make us feel powerful. There's a self-image of supremacy, American exceptionalism, and the illusion that other countries view the US with unbounded admiration---because of our guns.
Donald Trump has fanatically fostered a nationalism led by those who are willing to die for their gun rights--their holy grail. Just try prying their guns from their cold dead hands.
Bill, you can post dozens of pieces like the one above and you won't see a single dent in their gun worship. They do not mourn the victims. They do not hesitate in their loyalty---for any reason. They will "shoot" (pun intended) down your statistics, your arguments, your stories, your pleas. They will defend the NRA with every fiber of their soul. Shooting guns is FUN stuff. They make gun owners feel safer. AND yes, there's an addiction in play here.

So you are welcome to try, Bill, but it's been tried many times before and it is pointless. Good luck.

well this isnt to convince them its to convince the rest of us to ignore them, they are the problem, its like trying to convince a serial killer he should stop killing, to a certain extent, most gun owners are criminals, they dont need that gun, some do hunters farmers, target shooting maybe, and some do need for self defense but many have raised guns to a religion to a graven image and those people are as guilty as a drug dealer or a bank robber.. all we can do is deal with them, we cant arrest them but we can realize they are the rproblem they are the disease, they cant be reasoned with, so why bother, if they wont surrender their weapons but from their cold dead fingers fine, we meake an example of a few of them an see how they feel then

we will have to use physical force, but if we do this gradually over generations, we may not have to use that much

The US has not had 154 mass shootings in the past six months. Comparing the US to other countries is a fool's errand.

A better solution would be to strip First Amendment rights from Democrats.

What an irresponsibly stupid thing for you, or anyone, to say.
