I’m pretty sure it’s mainly handguns used, that’s always been the case. If you’re surprised that’s on you. I’ve been paying attention for a few years so I’ve seen it

I’m not talking about the former British colonies, that’s not relevant to modern times imo and no excuse. We’ve solved issues like slavery, voting rights, etc. guess what? Things can change in 200+ years.

Britains gun ban was after a school shooting in 1996

Australia fun violence was on the decline anyway? They passed that law after their FIRST mass shooting lol. No one’s passing laws like “oh this isn’t a problem and it seems to be going away on its own. We should probably pass a law about it just cuz”

Let me guess your solution. More guns? Officers in schools? We all saw Uvalde so fuck that

You trivialize the Law of the Nation a bit too much, by assuming its silly due to being long lived or old.

I suppose lots of things are irrelevant and foolish because they're old, but thats not a game anyone wants to play.

Remember, "these guys a couple hundred years ago said..." You're free to speak without being arrested, Cops shouldn't have the right to just take your stuff, that you shouldn't be imprisoned and sentenced without a trial nor forced to incriminate yourself in a criminal trial nor go without a defensive attorney, and that its possible for later amendments to be drafted and ratified. And what "these guys a couple hundred years ago said..." Is the current foundation of most of the rights you currently enjoy (or complain about the government abusing).

"How about the time Australia banned guns after a mass shooting? They never had another after"

Shootings in Austrailia were on a decline when that law was passed. But, even then, they've had a few, actually.

Also, the former British colony just didn't have the same style of government or gun rights the US does, so doesn't face the same complication. Not that much of the US would allow it, even if the government was structured differently.

"But in America where we have 1 mass shooting a day on average?"

And you'll never get around to solving for that, because you're largely ignorant to how which guns get into what mass shooters hands in the first place.

I doubt one even knows what the average mass shooting looks like, and simply lazily imagines its Fat Cletus getting his AR-15 today, so he could use it on the local school tomorrow. I was surprised to discover that this wasn't true.
