You see, Bryant inflicted his horror on the island of Tasmania, off the southern coast of Australia. Those in charge forged a bipartisan deal with state and local governments to enact far-reaching gun laws. Polls showed overwhelming public support for the measures.
The specific strategies aren't the right ones for America. But what makes the Australia model worthy of attention is that it stands in sharp defiance of hopelessness. A conservative-led government's constructive actions contradict those who maintain that the gun problem is unconquerable, that smart laws can't make a difference.
Australia put its National Firearms Agreement into action within two months of Bryant's rampage. |

Pay wall.
This article and all like it impudently ignore one fact: the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
It exists PRECISELY to prevent this kind of mischief. |

"...those who maintain that the gun problem is unconquerable..."
No... we maintain that the gun problem is nonexistent. We have a criminal problem, not a gun problem. |

| Just the type of moronic garbage I'd expect coming out of a NY paper. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
