I’ve forgotten how many shooting sprees the US has had just this year but 25 years ago, the Aussies had what was their worst on the Island of Tasmania. After that, they reformed their gun laws and now being gunned down by a crazy person, disgruntled employee or right-wing shithead redneck (a bogan) is closer to impossible. To add insult to injury regarding our nation’s bullshit response of “thoughts and prayers” lather, rinse and repeat via the NRA, the GOP and Blue Dog Dems, the Australian gun-law restrictions were enacted by the Liberal Party under John Howard. Now before the Ammosexuals and MAGAts in Amerika start going, “of course, Liberals did this!” we need to remind these morons that Down Under, the Liberal Party is the conservative/right camp (using the Economist‘s definition) and the liberal/left camp is the Labour Party. Plus a single-payer system of healthcare both sides are in agreement about. American Exceptionalism is better because why exactly?
