I'm grown up enough to give credit to Australia for its achievement in reducing multiple victim shootings and consider how the U.S. might leverage from the model. I'm also grown up enough to acknowledge/respect that your culture and governing practices are not the same as ours in all ways.
But, there are still people killing each other with guns in Australia. And, unless I missed something, Australia did not have to change its Constitution to enact strict new national gun laws. Individual gun rights were never part of the Australian Constitution, to the best of my knowledge.
We take Constitutional rights seriously here, and also the will of the people. The majority of the population and its elected government representatives don't support an amendment to the Second Amendment, nor a repeal. However, the majority does support stricter gun regulations. The U.S. Constitution doesn't need to be amended in order to enact stricter gun laws and stricter enforcement just because some gun advocates claim that the Second Amendment covers their every preference.
So, forgive us for continuing to discuss/debate the issue democratically in this discussion forum. We're silly like that. If you're too grown up to read the long rambling posts and choose to instead insist that you have an easy/right answer for America, that's okay. I'll read your short dismissive/ critiquing posts all the same.
