This is exactly like Australia and tazmania. The government of AUS said two months beofre the Taz shooting we need a shooting in Tazmania of mass proportions to pass any real legislation for Australia and sure enough it happened. What is especially interesting is prime minister of AUS, John Howard's behavior during the legislative process of banning guns. He acted like the banning of guns wasn't his doing. He used the words 'They' are doing this. As if someone ABOVE GOVERNMENT had measures to ban guns and HE, Howard, had to abide to them. I call them internationalists.
