Link? Or is this more lies?That would stop a certain amount. There are some other rational steps that could be taken without infringing on most gun owners, also. But people like you will prevent any such steps from being taken until we reach a decision such as Australia made in 1996. And there has not been a mass shooting since then in that nation. There were more than one a year in the decade prior to 1996.How do they get them then ?
Illegally.
Steal them, straw buyers, trunk of a car.
But liberals say if we have better background checks, and waiting periods, and stop selling guns to questionable people, then all gun related problems will go away ?
there have been three mass shootings in Australia since the ban and last week a 15 year old immigrant kid got a pistol amd murdered a police officer as a jihadi...amd all he had to do was switch targets to a school since he already had a fun....
And before that you had the immigrant in Australia take hosatges, with a gun at the coffee shop....and again, if he had changed targets and just shot people you would have had another mass shooting.....
australia hasn't had more mass shootings only because their people haven't decided to do them....their nuts and their criminals have gotten their hands on guns as easily as our criminals have...and their actual gun crime is now increasing...and the levels of gun ownership are now back to the levels before the confiscation....please do some research so yypou can post in a more informed way.
Australia's 1996 gun law reforms: faster falls in firearm deaths, firearm suicides, and a decade without mass shootings
In the 18 years before the gun law reforms, there were 13 mass shootings in Australia, and none in the 10.5 years afterwards. Declines in firearm‐related deaths before the law reforms accelerated after the reforms for total firearm deaths (p = 0.04), firearm suicides (p = 0.007) and firearm homicides (p = 0.15), but not for the smallest category of unintentional firearm deaths, which increased. No evidence of substitution effect for suicides or homicides was observed. The rates per 100 000 of total firearm deaths, firearm homicides and firearm suicides all at least doubled their existing rates of decline after the revised gun laws.
Conclusions
Australia's 1996 gun law reforms were followed by more than a decade free of fatal mass shootings, and accelerated declines in firearm deaths, particularly suicides. Total homicide rates followed the same pattern. Removing large numbers of rapid‐firing firearms from civilians may be an effective way of reducing mass shootings, firearm homicides and firearm suicides.
Yes...this is more lies....as my post #200 shows.....you have people with guns in Australia who luckily did not decide to do more damage with their guns...but only luck saved the Australian citizens from being victims of mass shooterrs....
And all of the events I listed happened after the Port Arthur Massacre and after the confiscation........
And gun crime in Australia is now increasing....after the confiscation.....and gun ownership levels have gone back to the level before Port Arthur.......
So soon, Australia will have caught up with the United States.....after they banned their guns...
