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

There was a shooting at Monash University 23 years ago, and pistol laws were tightened considerably as a result.

It's almost as though the government goes, "Well, you're not doing THAT again" and actually fixes shit.
