After a mass shooting in Australia in 1996, their government took action. Citizens were asked to turn in their guns and they were paid for doing so.
Murder rates and suicide rates have gone down dramatically now that few people have guns in that country.
We concern ourselves that mental illness causes shootings, and it does. But the mentally ill would not be shooting others if they did not have such easy access to guns as people have in our country.
We should consider what Australia has done when we try to solve the problem of so many gun deaths in our country. The world is watching.
