A) Australia ONLY banned fully automatic weapons B) Semi Autos are NOT banned, just heavily restricted C) More legal guns in circulation now vs 1996 The difference lies in attitude & culture towards firearms, not to mention access to healthcare.

Comparing the number of mass killings between countries is a flawed statistic. It doesn't take into account population for example. Also, comparing only shootings is flawed. Killers will find a way. Outside the US, knives are the weapon of choice. https://foac-pac.org/Cprc:-Comparing-Death-Rates-From-Mass-Public-Shootings-And-Mass-Public-Violence-In-The-Us-And-Europe/News-Item/2986 …pic.twitter.com/JY46mhjNlw

And yet Sydney and Melbourne are full of crime with youth gang as roaming the cities.
-
And yet they seem not to have mass shootings. Just because you change a topic doesn’t make the previous facts incorrect.
-
And yet Switzerland manages just find. Extremely liberal gun laws and top guns per capital. Open carry is normal and no mass shootings.

Thanks for the misinformation, but you have to apply for a license and take classes to own an assault weapon in that country. Unlike the United States where you can buy an assault weapon like a slice of pizza after 3 days. Next.

Hunt family murders, and Monash University shooting Just to name two. Also, due to the lack of guns there several others that involved arson, stabbing, and cars. Killers will find a way. Banning guns is not the answer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_Australia …

I'll save you a click: It took away freedom from the citizens.
-
And it let people live, isn't that a freedom as well?
-
Ok if it's about lives saved then ban alcohol. It kills many more than guns. Oh and drugs as well. That should take care of the heroin problem right?
-
Did I say ban guns? If so where?
-
That's what Australia did. That is not what you implied by trading freedom for lives"?
-
No Australia banned full autos. Semi autos still legal to own.
-
To my knowledge they banned semi autos and shot guns.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-australia-35048251 …
