Not to mention Australia which now after 20 years, there has seen no such mass shootings as we see in the US and a 50% decline on gun violence.
Face it kinkroids, we have a strong, rich, gun lobby and a plutocracy that sells out to that gun lobby in the NRA and a...gun loving culture in the US that feels it necessary to have such guns whose only purpose is...to kill many people.
Results are in. You get 15 mass shootings in less than 8 years and 103 people killed or wounded in one short attack.
Or so we're told, by the mass media...which makes the information highly suspicious.

Yea, I know. Reuters is always lying through their presses. HERE
Philip Alpers, an associate professor of University of Sydney's School of Public Health, who studies gun ownership and violence, said Australia's laws had had "demonstrable success".
"We have the most comprehensive suite of gun laws (in the world) and it would be a great shame to start whittling those down," he said.
Also, there have been ZERO mass murders since.
Here's a different HERE take from an Aussie no less.
GunPolicy.org I selected Alabama, Calif., NY and compared to Australia and territory: (amazing) HERE
Prior to Port Authur, when was the last mass shooting in Australia? And if it issuch a sucess why hasn't their murder rate dropped?
What part of these didn't you read ?
The chances of being murdered by a gun in Australia plunged to 0.15 per 100,000 people in 2014 from 0.54 per 100,000 people in 1996, a decline of 72 percent, a Reuters analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistics figures showed.
In 1996, Australia had 311 murders, of which 98 were with guns. In 2014, with the population up from about 18 million to 23 million, Australia had 238 murders, of which 35 were with guns.
With an apporx. 30% increase in population one could expect to see the murder rate go up to .71 and yet it dropped to .15 and murders go from 311 to over 400...it fell to 238. I call that a smashing success in lowering the murder rate.
