The National Cabinet agreed in principle to the deal, but implementing it requires their individual states to buy in.
I’m surprised the federal government hasn’t completely abandoned this yet.
It’s simply not worth the political capital:
There’s a vocal minority desperate to take away other people’s guns for personal/idea logical reasons.
There’s a slightly larger, but still a minority, desperate to keep their guns (who personally have never done anything wrong).
And an uncaring majority who are being told they will have to pay for it with their taxes.
