    Australia hasn't had a fatal mass shooting since 1996. Here's what it did.https://usat.ly/2o8Sp4n

        Australia has 24 million people. Comparing it to the US is apples and oranges. Why don’t you compare it to California, which has roughly 15 million more people and less restrictive gun laws?

        No mass shootings, but gun crimes have stayed the same. How is that possible when guns are illegal? Oh that's right, criminals don't care.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-28/fact-check-gun-homicides-and-suicides-john-howard-port-arthur/7254880 …

        And Australia has even seen a reduction in compulsive suicides (especially by guns) since then too that is similar to the drop in suicides after the switch away from peat burning stoves in Great Britain in the mid 20th century. Gun laws work

        Not true.... Monash uni shooting, hectorville siege, family mass shooting in 2014 and Lindt - it did slow things down but guns still killed 13.4 percent of all murders in Aus

        DONT BE TOO LOUD ABOUT ALL THAT! I am sure your enemies look at Australia as an easy target for take over! You might be at the bottom of the world and a great us oartner but we share the same base of despot enemies! AN INVASION OF THE US IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE!

        But unfortunately they have had a huge increase in individual shootings because the criminals still have guns.

        With this logic, roughly 1300 auto deaths in Australia last year. Now compare it to the United States at roughly 38000. Hummmm. #applesandoranges #peopleproblem

        Population of Australia is approximately 25million. The US's population is 323million. You're not too bright are ya?

        Australia has a population of 24M vs our population of 325M. It might work for them but WOULD NOT WORK FOR US. @WhiteHouse @POTUS @JesseBWatters @greggutfeld @kimguilfoyle AND our south border states must have a way to protect themselves. Australia’s border countries?

        Stop reposting this s**t. The truth is violent crime went up after the gun ban because criminals were the only ones with guns. Stabbings and beat downs were also up after the ban.
