Scenario One: 4yo Child finds a knife in the house and stabs mum - mum goes wat the hell - where'd you get that - You hurt mummy - Dont play with knives, you understand?Great! The reality of the situation is that there are currently millions of guns in my country. So unless you have a brilliant plan to get those guns out of the picture, you have no solution. I learned very quickly in the military that if you complain about a problem without providing a solution, you are doing nothing but whining.
Common sense is not "making the stats work for U", it is speaking about reality over fantasy. It would be wonderful if we could wave a magic wand and make all guns in the US disappear. But reality says that isn't going to happen. Repealing the 2nd amendment will not magically make the guns disappear. The problem is not the guns, it is that there are guns in the hands of irresponsible criminals. Laws are only as good as they are enforced so what is the proposes solution to enforcing the gun ban and removing guns from the hands of criminals and locating the millions of unregistered guns currently in possession by criminals? Reality also says that a firearm is far superior to self defense and home defense than any knife or sword. I don't care if you are the next Bruce Lee, you will lose in a gunfight. As long as there are criminals in this country who are armed with the intent to do me and my family harm, myself and millions of other responsible gun owners will die before they are left unarmed and unable to protect their families.

Great! So why don't you worry about Australia and let me worry about the United State mate. Because one thing is clear, you are clearly ignorant of the reality of the issues centered around gun control and how to fix them. Nor does it appear that you have any concern about solutions, just to complain about them.
Now back to the OP. It is a tragedy that the mother was killed. But lets not be fooled to thinking that the major issue is a lack of gun control. The mother died because of her irresponsibility...period. To blame the "evil guns" is nothing more than a scapegoat to complain about a gun problem that many non-Americans know nothing about. The mother's death was her own fault hopefully people can learn from her mistake and take steps to better secure their weapons and keep them out of the hands of children. Or, we can continue to merely complain about the rights of another country.
Scenario Two: Child picks up a gun which can be freely bought pretty much anywhere. Blows mums brains out
Which scenario are we liking the best?
Now if you really were serious about solutions - then you do what any business or project management process does - You benchmark - why don't you try that and ease off on subjective comments. Theres lots of countries who have great success when it comes to the reduction of gun violence. learn from them - Or not - up to you guys - Good luck
