AUSTRALIA has got gun control right, says US President Barack Obama, while his own nation "should be ashamed" at its inability to address a surge in school shootings. 
 
The president vented frustration and disbelief that there was no momentum for gun reform in the wake of a recent spate of mass shootings, in impassioned remarks likely to touch off a new row with the powerful firearms lobby.

"Our levels of gun violence are off the charts, there is no advanced developed country on earth that would put up with this," the president said.



President Obama made the comments during a live question and answers session on the Tumblr web forum just hours after a gunman shot and killed a student at an Oregon High School in the latest shooting incident.

He pointed out that Australia hadn't had a single mass shooting since the crackdown on gun violence in the wake of 1996's Port Arthur shootings.

"We are the only developed country on earth where this happens, and it happens now once a week," he said.
The president said he had found it "stunning'' that new guns laws could not pass after the horror of the Newtown massacre in Connecticut which traumatised the country.

He said that the only way that the current status quo would change would be if public opinion influenced lawmakers, who he said were "terrified'' of the powerful National Rifle Association (NRA) lobby group.

So.. perhaps he thinks it'd be a better place for Government control if all the people were disarmed?

How many mass shootings had there been in the two-hundred years prior to Port Arthur? And don't anybody give me any worthless bleeding heart examples of Abos being slaughtered as an example of out of control gun violence, because the same can be thrown back in your face re the black savages murdering Whites with spears, axes, knives and rocks!
