Us Gun Laws

How can the U.S. change their gun laws Isn't it too late based on the number that exist Already in the hands of the average “joe” Just normal people that would resort I assume this is an unwritten To extreme measures to resolve The problems that crop up In simple everyday routine choices Are not earth changing But surely affect our personal space I need help here to understand how to A warning.......

Gun laws in Australia in 1996 had Government funded gun buybacks and voluntary surrenders and gun amnesties. More than a million firearms were collected and destroyed, possibly a third of the national stock. A complete ban was placed on all automatic and semi-automatic rifles and shotguns and handguns. There have been no mass shootings in Australia since the laws were introduced. It isn't impossible if you have law abiding citizens. No one went door to door seizing guns.

I am so impressed Sweet Wendy... somehow I find that hard to believe the same thing would be a success in the US since their civil war! Every citizen is entitled to own a gun protect themselves and families! No wonder they have mass killings!!! Aussieiland have it right! They are to be congratulated! Cheers dear Wendy! XOX

Too much money in the gun lobby and you are right too many have been sold. I would not want to be the one going door to door trying to seize someone's gun/s. Have a great weekend Jack.
