maxomaiGun control advocates will point to Australia as a model for gun control, pointing out that a Sandy Hook-style mass shootings haven't occurred since they pushed for mass confiscation of firearms and strict licensing of firearm owners.
That is true - so far.
However, these measures haven't done much to control Australia's out of control problem of gun violence between gang members. And I wouldn't expect them to work on America's gang violence problem, either, which, we must admit, is a much larger problem in terms of lives and treasure than the mass shooting problem.
So...now what?
