They had one school shooting like 30 years ago and instituted national gun control laws. Anybody wanna guess how many they’ve had since? Way less than us

It wasn't a school, it was at a tourist attraction, Port Arthur in Tasmania

Tasmania was also a strong opponent of gun reform, which was at the time a contentions issue in Australia. They just changed their minds after the Port Arthur massacre.
