Could not happen in the US. The National Rifle Association which is funded by arms and ammo manufacturers is too powerful politically.

An armed man is a citizen
An unarmed man is a subject
A disarmed man is a prisoner
When only cops and criminals are armed I'm not all together certain which I will fear the most.
Ask any burglar what they fear most, an armed homeowner is an almost universal answer to the question.
Check where the violence occurs. In gun free zones. Some of us feel bound by the law, some do not. Where better to establish a killing field than among unarmed targets. Pre gun control, California murder rate was half the national average, now it is twice the average.
All gun control does is disarm the law abiding, remembering my first three lines, making them prisoners in their own home praying the criminal, who cares nothing about the law doesn't show up to rob and kill.
There are already 100,000 or more laws on the books. Words on paper won't stop a psycho from his or her appointed rounds.

What business is it of some Aussie? Only the United States has the right to nose in world affairs.

Kindly consider the places where these slaughters take place. Schools and malls - "Gun Free Zones" all.
Silly laws will not deter a psycho hellbent on massacre - they simply disarm the law-abiding.

Or we could be like Crenshaw GA where everyone owns a weapon and there gun crime stats per capita are even lower than Australia.

Do a true history search about Aussie gun control. You will be shocked.

You don't blame the gun, you blame the person.
Guns will not disappear, they will still be available to criminals, and they will still be used in mass shootings.
