"The Aussies Had a Gun Massacre Problem. THEY FIXED IT! WHY CAN'T WE?"

"Because we've got the damn 2nd Amendment--that anachronistic relic from another age, when guns were tools for survival on the newly opening frontier.

There is no longer any reason to retain this archaic throwback to another age.

The 2nd has been egregiously misinterpreted and misapplied, allowing mad people to murder with impunity by using modern weapons designed for mass destruction...

Any other sane country would have struck it down long ago. But, a significant and influential share of the US population are deranged extremists who force the rest of the nation to deal with their obsessions."
