How big is the population of Australia? Regardless, they do not have our constitution or the rights enumerated for our citizens in anything they have for a founding document.
Guns are regulated, many different types and classes of firearms are regulated so, no, guns are not any different than the restrictions placed on free speech. No actual reason to further restrict guns. What is needed now is some way to deal with the causes of violence. Those causes are inherent in all of us human beings. When we can deal with greed, jealousy, envy, etc. then we can see the hate and violence subside and maybe even disappear. Until then, as long as there are human beings, there will be violence, mass killings, war, etc. That is a fact. Banning anything will not change that fact.
