Gun legislation and laws have done VERY little except cost a LOT of money (all the various buy backs cost the states/federal MILLIONS) and created a lot for state coiffures (a permit to acquire in QLD costs $32 per firearm. Licenses have gone astronomical in price!).
America DOES need to toughen up it's guns laws, but also as Obama points out, there are other issues just as pertinent that need revision - mental health issues etc.
Comparing the American psyche/ideals/persona to Australian ones is actually pointless, because theirs is QUITE different to ours and the two are not interchangeable.
