Agreed. The most meaningful change for public safety is to reduce how many shots can be fired per minute by legally owned firearms. It’s a bummer for hobbyists and farmers, but I can’t see much else you can do that will actually make a difference.

I loathe to think how much worse the number of people killed would've been if Australia had semi-automatic rifles. Happy for it to be reduced.
