Comparing Americans to Brits and Aussies doesn’t work. We have very different histories and cultures.
Americans will never accept a gun ban because it’s written into our Bill of Rights, and our gun owning tradition goes back far before the American Revolution. Americans’ perception of our right to keep and bear arms is ingrained in our DNA at this point.
Would-be tyrants realized long ago that you couldn’t conquer America through force of arms. It is the whole reason for the slow and gradual slide downhill in this country. Defeating a free people can only be done through stealth and deceit; and from within - not from without.
This is exactly what we have been witnessing for the last century here.
Nothing’s changed. “They’re” never going to come for your guns, because it’s the surest way to make you revolt. That’s not what they want. The intent of the tyrants is to win you over, and to recruit you (and your guns) for their cause.
“shall not be infringed...”
I’m with you there. But we’ll have to agree to disagree about what happens post-ban.
I think that slow-rot you speak of has already done more damage than you can imagine.
Look at what they have accomplished in four short months.
It just falls faster from here.
If they continue on this path we won’t be fighting for our guns but desperately seeking to trade them for some food.
