When it comes down to it- more like what the conservative government in Australia did, after one too many mass shootings.

And- after almost 20 years since the laws were implemented (which rural folk and bona fide hunters don't whinge about) -there hasn't been a mass shooting in the entire country. Australians aren't shooting their kids and their kids aren't shooting their siblings, friends, neighbors and... their own parents).

Unfortunately, there's been a bit too much cowardice and dishonesty over the last couple of decades for us to consider responsible policies -which have to work elsewhere, so even the most modest of refoms meet with these sorts of reactions.
