Gun laws work in Australia. The US has plenty of gun laws that often aren't well enforced or are easily worked around. And now with the ability to 3D print ghost guns on the rise the hope of the US to ever be a country with no gun violence or mass shootings seems further and further out of reach. I'm not sure if it exists in Australia but there is also a mythical quality to guns in the US that at one time was fairly universal among boys and men and even among plenty of women, and that in many places still is. The frontiersman with his trusty rifle or the gunfighter with his six-shooter are classic tropes in American culture that aren't found in most other countries. The indoctrination starts young and is still pervasive throughout the country, especially in more rural areas. Then there's the way the US news media, especially on the conservative side, is constantly pushing fear and that everyone not like them is a danger. And politicians, again especially conservative ones, can't do things that open them up to being seen as "soft on crime" or as making law abiding citizens more vulnerable to a "bad guy with a gun". It's more likely that we will (and do) see change at the city, county or state level long before any significant national change happens.

@owlcowl I appreciate that - and in both ways.

What makes a parent the most vulnerable? What's the worst way to hurt someone? Hurt their children.
