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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
