Okay.. Let's make the US an island, with a strict immigration policy...

P.S. There are more guns in Australia now than before their "buyback" (read: confiscation)...

Sometimes change is not a good thing.

Lets dive into the data:

Gun ownership per household in Australia has fallen 75%

The proportion of Australians who hold a gun licence has fallen by 48 percent since 1997.

The homes that already have guns are buying more guns and now have 4 guns per licensed owner

“In the wake of John Howard’s gun reforms, the risk of an Australian dying by gunshot quickly fell by more than half – and it’s stayed that low for 25 years

New gun ownership figures revealed 25 years on from Port Arthur - The University of Sydney

The risk was low BEFORE Port Arthur...

They found a solution in search of a problem...
