UK and AUS both "dropped their guns in the pond" and their gun-control stands to this day unchallenged. In fact, their gun ownership as a percentage of their population is at abysmal lows. Their education systems teach children to be afraid of guns and indoctrinate them into gun control. Their legal system punishes people who slip up and reveal that they didn't register their guns. Don't drop your guns in the pond, pede. You won't fish them out after the jackboots come to your home. Your kids won't be able to defend their property with the guns you buried in the backyard.
