Then there'll be no firearms crime like us.

You have to be either joking or living under a rock if you believe that!

A very good idea which, in America, hasn't a hope in hell of working because of the powerful gun lobby who, as I understand it, have the voting power in the US Senate and will block any attempt at gun control.:horrified

Besides, where would they get the billions they would need to buy-back all the millions of guns? And don't forget that the American Bill of Rights gives every American the right to bear arms. It's ridiculous!:horrified

How many mass shootings do we have a year?
We don't even have that many single shootings, per capita.

More to the point: How many of any kind of shootings have we had in the past 50 years or so?

They are, when you take into account population size as compared to NZ, no worse crime wise than here. The BLM riots and the like that we see on our news are the exception not the norm. Just as we have our share of idiots so do they but it is a big mistake to judge the whole country by the actions of those idiots. CliveM (6007)
