Yeah man, fuck our lack of school shootings and our radically reduced gun-related violence! We're the worst!

Not that I'm saying that would work in America - Australia has safer (though not perfect) law enforcement.

If I were American, I'd probably also fiercely advocate to keep my guns, too. When your own country can't guarantee safety, you have to.

My friend, no one was shittalking Australia.

Go get a half dozen dimmies and take a smoko.

I don't read their comment as critical of Australia. It's just that if you're establishing a scale of gun reform, Australia is at the extreme end. In the US, full Australia isn't a realistic goal.

Extreme end? You mean the fucking normal, everyday, global method of not letting psychos and kids have guns? Yeah, so extreme. Amercian's have the weirdest fetishes.
