That twelve days was when he initiated it Yana. Passing it wasn't easy. He was very unpopular, and yet, he stuck to his guns. It was the best thing he ever did as a PM.

The other thing you have to factor in, is that we are a much smaller country. We have issues, and things we should be ashamed of, like the treatment of our indigenous people, though I sincerely hope that is going to change with the new government. But smaller as we are, the change was tough and expensive.

Back to America...it will take a huge leap of faith for the gun laws to be turned around.Prayers are not going to cut it for the families who have lost children, and I don't think there will be one family still confident to send their kids t school.

Turning schools into prisons isn't right for students. That promotes fear. Children don't grow within a fearful environment.

Yet bold, strident changes must be made.
