How's that worked out here in Aus?  To start with we havent removed guns from all Australians, there are more guns in legal hands than ever before. Secondly as to how its working for us we have a gun fatality rate around 10 percent of the US on a per capita basis. Thirdly, feel stupid asking those questions? You should. There is no way to legitimately compare Australians with guns, & Americans with guns. It's like comparing Yank prime ribs of beef with Aussie lamb sausages.
There is no comparison.........over 375 million firearms, of which well over 95% are totally unregistered, & owned by Americans who are known worldwide for their complete disdain & total distrust of all government.
Americans will never be found obeying any government orders like the Australians did, who obeyed orders for them to turn in firearms ..... Polls taken of American gun owners say that Americans would probably be over 70% to 80% non-compliant, with any similar government order to turn in their AR-15 Rifles & other semi-automatic firearms.
Outside of some similar ancestry, & a similar language, America & Australia have totally different cultures, totally different histories, & totally different geographic circumstances -- one with predatory animal systems.
From the 1500's onward the earliest American settlers were faced with many more dangers than Australians could probably imagine, & the need for firearms was absolutely necessary in order for these American settlers to survive. Firearms were as important as life, for they meant life. Years of wars with the French, Dutch, Savage Natives, & eventually the English meant generations of American settlers needed to learn how to use firearms as soon as they were able to. Learning how to shoot accurately was way more important than learning how to read, or write......Learning to kill, butcher, & store game, & fend off criminals before the age of 12 years.
American firearm genius reduced the once Great British Army into fleeing rats by relying on highly motivated militia forces, sharp shooting guerrilla warfare & backwoods experts, employing superior firearms & unconventional tactics. Since Independence from the Tyrannical British Monarchy America had to fight another war with once Great Britain, resulting in another resounding British defeat. They also had to fight wars with the Spanish, & the Mexicans before the Two World Wars, of which the Second was on two fronts. If that wasn't enough, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, & Various Actions in the Middle East....America's reliance on firearms for over 400 years becomes obvious.
..
How good are guns in the USA? Just look at this carnage! Link. 1,000 dead bodies ----- 10,000 dead bodies......body counts lends nothing more than a reason for the living to temporarily pause, reflect, & mourn for those fallen that will surely be missed.....but they change nothing, except redoubling the efforts & resolve of the living to continue on.....
I said it before, & I will say it one more time......
After the mourning subsides, Americans will always stand up strong & tall, dust themselves off, pay homage to those who have fallen, & undaunted, move forward with their American Constitutional Freedoms & Liberties intact, prepared to take on all challenges from whatever might come their way..........never forgetting the sacrifices of those that have passed.........
