australia’s got a lot of fucked up shit going on but at least we can say our last mass shooting was 18 years ago
because after it happened we placed higher restrictions on gun ownership
because that’s the logical fucking thing to do

There has been one school shooting in Scotland in recent memory. Only one that I can recall.
And after that we restriced gun control and made owning a handgun and a semi automatic weapon prohibited.
And there hasn’t been a mass/school shooting in Scotland since. Not to mention that firarm violence/deaths are incredibly rare.
It is mind boggling to me that the US can have 38 mass shootings in half a year and still do nothing.

To get a gun in Japan, first, you have to attend an all-day class and pass a written test, which are held only once per month. You also must take and pass a shooting range class. Then, head over to a hospital for a mental test and drug test (Japan is unusual in that potential gun owners must affirmatively prove their mental fitness), which you’ll file with the police. Finally, pass a rigorous background check for any criminal record or association with criminal or extremist groups, and you will be the proud new owner of your shotgun or air rifle. Just don’t forget to provide police with documentation on the specific location of the gun in your home, as well as the ammo, both of which must be locked and stored separately. And remember to have the police inspect the gun once per year and to re-take the class and exam every three years.
