In Australia, we went through a series of mass killings...we tend to copy a lot of what happens in the US here. It took a truly horrific event in 1996 where 35 people were slaughtered, including a woman and her two little kids...my wife worked with the woman and seeing her dead body next to her 2 young kids on the news was just too close to home.
Subsequently, our conservative Prime Minister introduced the 'national firearms agreement' where 650,000 weapons were bought by the government and then destroyed. Much tighter regulations were introduced and since that time, where there were 13 mass shootings her in the years just prior, there hasn't been a single mass shooting since. The murder rate with firearms has also declined by 40%.
It can be done.
