Australia is a much closer approximation to the United States than Columbia is.
Unless you want to assert otherwise.
We're not talking about drugs, we're talking about guns.
I provided an example of a modern, civilized country with a large population whose culture is similar in many respects to that of the United States that enacted strict gun laws that effectively and demonstrably curtailed the number of mass shootings and firearm related homicides.
All you provided in turn was a strawman.
Though to be fair, Australia's culture did differ from that of the US' in at least one major way when they instated those laws; Australia didn't expect "doing nothing" would solve the problem, as many people in the US think it apparently will.
“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
15000 Americans are murdered every year. The country experiences over 300 mass shootings every year.
Elba: I want less Americans to die and having to live in fear. Like us in Europe.
MMO-C Off-Top: Elba is literally Hitler.

You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
Okay I read that Your News Wire story from this thread and the other thread, I don't think anything from that article specifically was photoshopped but their "evidence" is an anonymous text message conversation which is highly suspicious at best. The content of the text messages is even worse, especially as there was only *one* shooter identified.
Does that count as evidence nowadays? Anonymous text messages saying something is true? YO OT: I HEARD THE SHOOTERS HAD UNICORNS FLYING OUT OF THEIR BUTTS! Go ahead and tell the world the gospel truth! You heard it here first!
BTW, it's amazing how people who pretend to be ''real Americans'' seems to have a PRETTY wonky theological worldview, in which weapons are a good thing to have into a church (while it's a fairly universal doctrine, including from dangerous SJW maniacs like the Spartans, the Romans and the Vikings that weapons in sacred places are a HUGE taboo)

Yeah, people should really read up on the differences between fascism, authoritarianism, and totalitarianism. That applies to Americans in general honestly, not just this thread.
Sure it can happen. Never said it couldn't. But it is my prediction it will not in this case. Out of over 11,000 attempts to amend the Constitution, only 28 have been successful. With more and more States now becoming Constitutional carry ones, the odds are getting even more remote.
They're just trying to salvage their failed conspiracy theory.
