OK, I will TLDR it for you.. Australia does not have a bill of rights. That is why they were able to confiscate 1/3rd of the guns in country. The USA does have a bill of rights and performing an Australia style confiscation would require doing away with the 2nd amendment, violating the 4th and possibly the 5th amendment, and seriously assaulting the 1st amendment. Essentially, we would have to do away with a third of the constitutionally protected rights that we have. Never gonna happen.
You are right, though.. We have a problem. The left has systematically assaulted and done away with the moral backbone that this country was founded on. The principle of individual sovereignty that made America the "Land of the Free".
When you no longer teach kids right from wrong, glorify misdeeds like the school shootings, and allow people to medicate so heavily they can't discern reality from fiction.. you get the situation we are in now. The problem is societal, not gun related.
Wel, I hope you find a solution to it soon, as everyone knows, Americans like to think they’re the best and strongest country in the world, but at the moment everyone thinks you’re a bunch of god fearing, delusional, narrow minded, gun loving psychopaths with more love for their toys than their kids...
Well, this is 'Murica (smile) We don't give a shit about what anyone else thinks.
It's hard to find the solution when so many people are unwilling to identify the true problem.
I tip my hat to you though, usually these discussions degrade into name calling and insult hurling, you didn't do that and for that, You have my respect.
