Nobody got rid of guns in Australia. We removed semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns. And when I say we "removed" them, we bought them back at a fair price.

Nobody got rid of guns in Australia. We removed semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns. And when I say we "removed" them, we bought them back at a fair price. You can still own a gun in Australia. We just have a gun-averse culture, we do background checks on those who do have guns, and we have a National Firearms Agreement across all states and territories. Something I note that you don't have in the U.S. (well, some states do background checks, which is irrelevant if you buy a gun in a state that does not and move to the state that does). You could, of course, read the Agreement yourself: https://www.ag.gov.au/LegalSystem/Firearms/Documents/2017-national-firearms-agreement.pdf https://www.ag.gov.au/LegalSystem/Firearms/Documents/2017-na...
