Simply because something has been researched, does not mean the studies are valid in the real world. For instance, in one study, those carrying out the research found that a parachute is no more useful to someone jumping out of an airplane than an empty backpack.
Serious lack of understanding of the term research Tell me - do you believe that Dihydrogen Monoxide is a clear and present danger to man as well??? I mean there is plenty of evidence to show that it is a dangerous substance

To be frank, in the US in an average year more people are murdered by water than by an AR-15 used in a mass shooting.
Following the gun lobby logic then Water does not kill people people kill people AND Why should we learn to swim - drowning wont affect ME!!!
IT is scientific humour And bloody good at that - thanks!! They must be aiming for an Ig-Nobel Prize The footnotes really say it all https://www.bmj.com/content/363/bmj...ign=tbmj&utm_content=weekly&utm_term=20181214
They are not, they just reported what the idiot stated. Guess you cannot handle the truth when it makes a stupid liberal, look like a real liberal.
While off topic to the ongoing discussion, is it possible for yourself to participate in the ongoing discussion in the following thread? http://www.politicalforum.com/index...-dies-in-custody-at-the-border.547342/page-54 There is currently a disagreement over whether a minor can succumb to death via dehydration within a period of eight hours, while devoid of any preexisting conditions.
Why? What do you think the Democrats can do to him? Wait... are you under the impression the Democrats can remove him from office? Bwwwaaahahahahah!
Tell us again how Aussie gun laws prevent mass shootings when law abiding Aussies have full access to firearms fully capable of being used in same.
Thats a semantic argument I never engage in, and the point wasn't about swimming; it was about being held underwater in a murder. More people are killed each year by being murdered by drowning than in a mass shooting where the shooter used an AR-15 on average. That's how low the actual risk is.
You have deliberately redefined the target This is the equivalent of saying “more people are killed each year by being flogged to death with shoe laces than by handguns bought from Eddie the eighty nine year old who only opens his shop twice a year You have taken a minor number of deaths caused by only one type of weapon I suppose that is to try and justify why rapid fire weapons should not have restrictions Sorry - wont work
If the discussion pertains only to specific firearmss such as the AR-15 for example, why should the number of deaths its illegal use can be attributed to not be separated from all other firearm-related deaths using differing types?
Your proposal that "rapid fire weapons" should have restrictions won't work. It's not Constitutional, nor would be it effective here in the US. The GCAs here continually propose that "assault weapons" be banned, citing the danger to the public. When that danger is actually quantified, it's wouldn't actually justify a ban based on danger to the public.
That's apoarently good since gun sales and NRA membership has been faltering without the fear of gun banning. Got to gin up that hysteria to kerp commerce flowing.
Everyone knows that more guns make us a safer country. That is why America has the losest rate of gun deaths among all developed countries. Just kidding!
