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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
