text: I see you lurking, Rogue Catholic, behind your mask, baiting a gun control debate.  There are many fine examples in Canada, Australia and New Zealand of laws that have prevented gun deaths.  Go look them up instead of acting like this is an unanswerable question.  By the way, the doomsday scenarios proposed by the NRA don't happen in these countries.  The Australian government has not become an agent of tyranny, oppressing its citizens.  Illegally armed hordes of "bad guys" are not raping and pillaging defenseless unarmed Canadians.  I will propose several questions to you, if you wish to dialogue:  You stated yourself there are 300 million guns in circulation.  Why do the arms manufacturers continue to produce more products if there are already too many in circulation?  You stated (incorrectly) that the world doesn't take gun control seriously.  It does and it works.  Why does the US fail to follow the example of nations that have already solved their gun problems?
