Australia is too far away

[motor_spirit@lemmy.world]

these guys also completed a gun return program which I am told could never work due to scale. Nothing in this universe scales

With the US, there is also a culture problem to address. There are way too many people there that make 2A their whole personality.

Australia had its share of gun nuts, but they were both a small minority and didn't have a whole lifetime of indoctrination telling them to prepare for the day the government will come for theor guns

Australia has no strategic importance to Russia, therefore Trump doesn't care about it.

[darkassassin07@lemmy.ca]

Meh, Australia already has quite a bit of American military presence.

[daddledew@lemmy.world]

They do have big ass spiders though

[baroqueinmind@lemmy.one]

Unless they pay me 3x the amount I paid for my guns, I will never give mine up, and I'm a fucking lefty. Imagine what the right wing moron MAGA guys think. That's why it won't work.

Austrailia don't need guns

[ininewcrow@lemmy.ca]

MAGA Americans: .... make Australia right side up again!!!

[dragontypewyvern@midwest.social]

Australia confiscated 650,000 guns.

America has more guns than people at 400 million registered weapons.

Maybe actually understand the scale before you complain about the point?

[dragontypewyvern@midwest.social]

They will...

[pp_boy_@lemmy.world]

My thoughts too. I dont even like that I own guns, the responsibility that comes with it and whatnot, but American police have shown time and time again that they cannot and will not solve civil issues.

Combine that with the fact that there are many social groups who would rather go into criminal status than give up their weapons in the event of a mass ban and you'll suddenly have a large group of honest, well-intentioned people stuck between violent armed criminals and ineffectual law enforcers. Nobody wants that.

Was it a "guns for drop bears" deal? Because that makes perfect sense to me.

[a_union_of_kobolds@lemmy.world]

I mean if you want to reduce a whole host of material conditions to the word "scale" then sure you can make that sound ludicrous
