In America it won't. Why? Because the culture is different. Americans obsess over their guns. Even I know that. Because of that desire to own a variety of different guns it will not work. Ideally I would like for autos and semi autos to be banned. Ones that allow for one to mow down a crowd easily. High rate of fire guns. But when i hear of people saying they will have to take my gun out of my cold dead hands i realize it just will not work. People love their guns in America on a whole different level than the rest of the western world. Kiwis, Aussies and the British do not have the same passion on the whole for them and that is why it works here. Culture makes it work. You take away guns in America and i know from what i hear from republicans they will declare it an act of war. Do i like it....nope but that is reality.

The difference is that Australia and New Zealand were given their independence from Britain while the US fought a violent armed rebellion to get our independence. The notion that we might have to take up arms against oppressive rulers in ingrained into American culture by our very history.

Yup different history so it shaped a culture that solves problems by murder.

Americans are largely defiant by nature. That's what separates us from the European's and the rest of the world. I'm proud to say that I'm an American and I'm proud to be directly associated with American heritage.
