Sting operation: the NRA explains to white nationalist Australian political party how to deflect gun control calls after a massacre

They have good reason to want to see Australia’s gun laws watered down. Every time there’s a mass shooting in the US, inevitably someone says “Australia used to have mass shootings, then it introduced strict gun laws, and now it doesn’t.” - which is perfectly true in Australia; but would be far harder to implement in the US due to the sheer number of guns available, and the massive amount of time it would take for those numbers to drop once sane gun laws came in.

But just because something is hard and will take a while; doesn’t mean it is not a good idea.

Australia’s gun laws are a good idea. The US should follow them. As NZ appears to be trying to do right now.
