When will we FINALLY ban guns? How many more genocides need to happen?

I am Australian and I can attest to the effectiveness of good gun control. There are very few firearm related deaths in Australia. Break and enters are significantly less violent despite what conservative Americans think. When a criminal breaks into a house in Australia he isn't worried that there is a redneck nutcase with an M16 waiting around the corner for him so he brings a knife or no weapon at all and since most people have home and contents insurance it is a relatively uneventful although somewhat traumatic event emotionally. In America it turns into a shoot out usually resulting in family members dying and more often than not the offender escaping anyway. The police are well armed and you can expect a swift and deadly response from our police force in the event a firearm is found to be being used. As a member of the military I can say that seeing American civilians playing with ault weapons is one of the most frustrating things I have seen. The vast majority of them have no idea what they are doing nor do they understand the effect these weapons have or any respect for proper weapon safety. They regard the safety on and not pointing it at someone as satisfactory. They don't properly clear the chambers of their weapons and they regard shooting as "fun" and "recreation". Shooting is about killing it is not fun, it is a necessity of the world we live in that I wish was not the case.
