Cable Forum - View Single Post - Cross-party group of senators agrees limited gun control measures

In a country with something like 390 million guns in private ownership, any ‘gun control’ passed into law is, I fear, likely only to make the problem worse. It does nothing to take any of those guns out of circulation or to make them vastly harder to get hold of, and it actively mitigates against meaningful reform by allowing those who are already reluctant to do anything to point to the meagre measures on the statute book as suffice to excuse to do no more.

Sadly that country is going to hell in a handcart and it will take a social revolution for anything to change. Generational change is their only hope.
