Again...another public shooting in Australia....which Australian gun control law stopped this public shooter from walking into the gym and shooting people...or walking into a church, a theater a mall...or a school.
The idea that Australia stopped mass public shootings, or any gun crime, with their gun control is a lie....here is another public shooting......not stopped by the Australian gun control laws.......
Best part of the story....the names...
Woolloongabba
Shots fired into CrossFit gym in ‘targeted’ attack
Police are investigating who may have been responsible for a round of bullets being fired into a Brisbane gym overnight.
Authorities have been told that up to 10 gunshots were fired into the CrossFit gym on Annerley Road in Woolloongabba about 2.35am today.
Let's work on not proving its safer in Australia.
Your best answer IS NOT telling us its an international conspiracy but to find the selective places in the U.S. where the murder rate is low.
How about we prove that gun control has nothing to do with Australian gun crime levels.....how about we start with the truth.
Can you explain which Australian gun control law kept these shooters from walking into a school?
Your grasp of overall trends and logic is infallible
At the very least point to the chart above and talk about the greater trends or else I fear we'll have to post a link to EVERY incidence of gun violence in each country and see who wins.
Yes....let's talk over all trends.....our reduction in gun crime was greater than in Australia during the same time period...as more Americans went out, Bought guns and even more are now actually carrying them.....this shows, that your theory on the effectiveness of gun control laws is wrong.......and the gun crime rate and murder rate...
And keep in mind......public shootings did not stop in Australia......they simply have not reached the definition simply because 4 people haven't died in the incidents....well over a dozen, with people shot, but not killed....which means the statement that their gun control laws have stopped their mass public shootings is also a lie...
What actually happened.....I know, you will ignore this information because you refuse to be moved on your position on gun control...but the facts do not support what you believe....what you believe is a lie.
Australia’s 1996 Gun Confiscation Didn’t Work | National Review
University of Melbourne researchers Wang-Sheng Lee and Sandy Suardi concluded their 2008 report on the matter with the statement, “There is little evidence to suggest that [the Australian mandatory gun-buyback program] had any significant effects on firearm homicides.”
“Although gun buybacks appear to be a logical and sensible policy that helps to placate the public’s fears,” the reported continued, “the evidence so far suggests that in the Australian context, the high expenditure incurred to fund the 1996 gun buyback has not translated into any tangible reductions in terms of firearm deaths.”
A 2007 report, “Gun Laws and Sudden Death: Did the Australian Firearms Legislation of 1996 Make a Difference?” by Jeanine Baker and Samara McPhedran similarly concluded that the buyback program did not have a significant long-term effect on the Australian homicide rate.
The Australian gun-homicide rate had already been quite low and had been steadily falling in the 15 years prior to the Port Arthur massacre. And while the mandatory buyback program did appear to reduce the rate of accidental firearm deaths, Baker and McPhedran found that “the gun buy-back and restrictive legislative changes had no influence on firearm homicide in Australia.”

Conclusions Examination of the long-term trends indicated that the only category of sudden death that may have been influenced by the introduction of the NFA was firearm suicide
------
However, this effect must be considered in light of the findings for suicide (non-firearm). Homicide patterns (firearm and non-firearm) were not influenced by the NFA, the conclusion being that the gun buy-back and restrictive legislative changes had no influence on firearm homicide in Australia. The introduction of the NFA appeared to have a negative effect on accidental firearm death. However, over the time period investigated, there was a relatively small number of accidental deaths per annum, with substantial variability. Any conclusions regarding the effect of the NFA on accidental firearm death should be approached with caution

In this paper, we re-analyze the same data on firearm deaths used in previous research, using tests for unknown structural breaks as a means to identifying impacts of the NFA. The results of these tests suggest that the NFA did not have any large effects on reducing firearm homicide or suicide rates.
-------
6. Conclusion
This paper takes a closer look at the effects of the National Firearms Agreement on gun deaths. Using a battery of structural break tests, there is little evidence to suggest that it had any significant effects on firearm homicides and suicides. In addition, there also does not appear to be any substitution effects – that reduced access to firearms may have led those bent on committing homicide or suicide to use alternative methods.
