Gun control doesn't work

Too each their own. I don't think people should have things like guns that they don't need. I'll agree to disagree.

Nationmaster.com . Look it up for yourself.

New Hampshire is less violent because violence has nothin to do with guns.


You remain focused on my twenty-three firearms, and the type of firearms that I own; statistically I'm far less of a threat than the gang banger with a lone Hi-Point. It's that you're emotionally-driven, which blinds you to reality.

Maybe you should actually look at the Australian institute of criminal statistics http://www.aic.gov.au/publications/c...w%20paper.html and not look at websites that are probably funded by your gun lobby

Lol. Nationmaster funded by the gun lobby.

And from your government site:


"[R]ecorded assaults and sexual assaults have both increased steadily in the past 10 years by over 40 percent and 20 percent respectively."


"Since 1989-90, there has been a significant downward trend, with the number of homicide victims declining by nine percent from 330 to 301."

Nine percent... Texas has experienced about four times as drastic of a drop.

The reason for this is that reporting rates actually increased if you read past the first scentence but like most gun advocates you will only use the stats that suite your agenda.

Which still indicates that crime hasn't decreased.

Gun related violence and mass shootings have.

So the USA wouldnt be a better place with out mass shootings?

We havent had a mass shooting in aus since we changed our gun laws.

No one should need to carry/keep a gun regardless of what their opinion is, the law should be hard on anyone with a gun and rules of possessing firearms should be severely stricter.

Mass shootings, while horrifying, are statistically insignificant. You're about as likely to die in a blimp accident.

You sacrificed freedom to eliminate an exceedingly rare type of crime. If that trade-off works for you, fine. We're not having it in America.

Good night.
