        Yes, but #Australia does not have Guns Inc. which depends on mass shootings to scare people into buying more guns.

        your chart just shows a squiggle when you try to zoom. We should keep guns because volume murders are more efficient? GTFO

        The people are the problem. The murder rate did NOT go down. They just used a different weapon.

        What about Australia's porous borders? Oh, right, it's an autonomous island. Apples and oranges, WSJ.

        Understood, thanks for response. AUS solution is not one-size fits all. We can take lessons & modify, but replication is weak.

        I completely agree. I will have to read up on Canadian solutions, I am unfamiliar with majority of policies and practices.

        it's essentially a ban on non hunting weapons, with registry. You can own shotguns/rifles no problem.

        violent crime in Australia shot thru the roof after the ban there. Yay a gun didn't kill me but a knife did...Yay it wasn't a gun.

        so after the ban violent crime didn't go up? Homicide up 3.2% assaults up 8.6% armed robbery up 45% post ban.

        show me the source of those stats. Getting rid of automatics and semi automatics stopped mass shootings - it's that simple!

        again it may have stopped mass shooting but you had a net increase in violent crime. But correct mass shootings stopped.
