This commentary shows that gun grabbers the world over have to lie and use emotion...since the truth about gun ownership around the world is the same......normal gun owners are not a problem no matter how many guns they own. Taking guns away from normal, law abiding people does nothing to lower the gun murder rate or the gun crime rate.......
When you take guns away from law abiding people..only cops and criminals will have guns....and the criminals will still use the guns to commit crimes....

There has not been a repeat despite citizens having access to the same types of firearms used by Anders Brievek and Martin Bryant.
New Zealand has not had a mass shooting since 1997 and likewise allows its citizens the same semiautomatic, high-powered firearms as do some European countries.
The proposition you can vicariously control criminal or psychopathic behaviour by confiscating private property and burying law-abiding citizens under a mountain of regulation is simply absurd.
Former Australian prime minister John Howard has claimed success because there had not been another mass shooting.
The reality is last year we had our first mass shooting (four or more victims in a single incident) when a man shot his wife and three children before taking his own life at Lockhart, NSW.
Mental health issues were a factor and firearms had been confiscated from this house previously.
Since the National Firearms Agreement, we have had seven massacres resulting in 62 victims and 17 were children. Only one of these murder sprees involved the perpetrator using a firearm.
It is irrelevant whether the murders were carried out with a firearm or any other method, the end result was exactly the same for the family, friends and community.
And look......they have the exact problem that the United States has....and no problem with normal gun owners.......
n 2008, researchers Jack Dearden and Warwick Jones, working for the Australian Institute of Criminology, reported that 93 per cent of gun murders involved an unlicensed perpetrator with an unregistered firearm.
Our gun laws completely miss the mark when you realise the chance of any one of Australia’s 800,000 licensed gun owners committing murder are so minuscule that you are more likely to die from a bee sting.
