So You Think You Know the Second Amendment? : The New Yorker
"Rifles, after all, are for stopping an unchecked and tyrannical government. So, why do you want to ban them?" Look to Australia. In the 18 years before the Port Arthur killing of 35 people we had 13 massacres (defined as 4 or more dead). We then banned high-powered rifles and institued a massive rifle buy-back scheme. In the last 16 years there has been NO massacres. Not one. "The banning of gun ownership will not stop pyscho's from killing." In Australia - yes it did. In a country very very much like your own - but without the guns. Our deaths from firearms (all deaths, not just massacres) has halved. That is why you should ban high powered rifles. God bless America, but God help your children if you don't act now.
