Oh, yes. We found a strong correlation between the ban and a drop in firearm deaths.

So far a conservative has suggested the rate is higher in America because of black people.

That doesn't really hold up with data, but certainly at cross-burnins'.

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.

We have been through this before. Show me the drop in deaths. While they have not had a school shooting, or mass shooting. The numbers are virtually unchanged.

While I do not agree with his views of blacks. Data does support it.

I guess you could call it that.



Check your source. It gives no data for total numbers dropping. Just their mass.



Now, what have gun laws done to help here in the states?

Not a thing.

Very, very stupid! Mass shootings are not an effective was of measuring the effect of gun laws especially here in Australia were mass shootings are very uncommon and spaced out. Firearm homicides and firearm suicides may have dropped a tiny bit but homicides and suicides didn't (assault went up!). You LOVE murder and suicide you just hate it when it involves a gun.. isn't that right? mr gun hatey man???

It is tragic, it truly is. But a ban will do nothing. The person that committed the crime could not legally own a firearm in the first place, let alone an SKS. SO what would a ban do?
Why do you want to own an assault rifle?

Maybe to defend yourself against lunatics who don't have the mental capacity to own guns in the first place.

Despite the "Ramboesque" ethos....

The vast majority...I'm talking probably well over 99%.....

never get into a situation that they might actually need a gun to defend themselves.


Defense of personal property is not justifiable homicide...only self-defense or the defense of another's life.

Because the M-16/AR15 is perfect for home defense.
