How many mass shootings have occurred in Australia since the 1996 gun laws?
Has gun control really worked down there or is the media simply ignoring any shootings that have happened?
Australian Gun Laws (((working)))?

They're not comparable. Australia is a largely homogenous country, an island with better control over imports, and a different gun culture than the US. Same with Japan and the UK.

australia has social programs and an economy that addresses people's economic needs. the U.S. is capitalist and does not have socialized medicine.
Noah Thomas
We are not Australia, and never will be.
But the good news is, you can move there.
Because I don't think you're ever going to be happy where people understand that the cost of freedom is accountability for ones actions.

How many home invasions have occured since then?
I know that day, it went up like 200%

>Homicides stayed the same.
>Suicides stay they same.
>Gun homicides only "decreased by 50%" for 1 year after the ban.
>But guns deaths decreased significantly.
What happened? Less people an hero'd with a gun.
Jordan Mitchell
Murder and suicides went down. Violent crimes, Manslaughter, sexual assault, kidnapping, armed robbery, and unarmed robbery all saw peaks in the years following the ban, and most remain near or above pre-ban rates.
You can draw different conclusions as to why this happened. Brazil have gun laws too yet have very high crime and murder. I've heard there are talks about bringing guns back there. Either way they probably aren't directly applicable to the US situation.
Blake Walker
It's hard to tell how well the laws have worked because of the housing and chink cash boom. Lots of jobs for stupid people.
There certainly hasn't been any mass shootings but I suspect the media doesn't report on shootings involving little gangster shitskins out in south western Sydney but I have no idea.
David Adams
chopper read went on live tv and shot an blade russia roulette with a reporter.
also bikie gangs are out of control we have a shooting outside a tatoo parlour so often
bikers are also only allowed to ride in groups of 3 because they commit so many mass shootings
so no it didnt work

>better control over imports
nigger we ship all our natural resources to china only to buy them back off them.
Kayden Kelly
Excellent point that the US and Australia are obviously different, but what is Australia's gun culture like?
Good facts anons. Can you point me to the right direction of finding those sources?
David Morgan
Australia doesn't have any bordering countries. They can't stop illegal immigrants from getting in the country you think it's going to work with guns? It's way easier to smuggle guns then people.
Jonathan Gonzalez
australia is only more close to socialist because we are owned by china and they are commie
Austin Adams
What if the founding fathers modeled thier society after Aulstralia?

It depends on classification. Mass murders, or mass murders using a gun. Mass murders happen.telegraph.co.uk
Blake Martin
I don't care about 'mass shootings', it's about defending yourself from tyranny, period.
Jacob Collins
I believe you. Every time I point out how gun control doesn't work, the response I get is "AUSTRALIA! You're argument is invalid!"
Jonathan Kelly
They had a few high profile shootings in a short period. These were statistical outliers.
Look at homicide rates prior to and after 1996. There wasn't some huge drop after stricter gun laws were passed. Rates were already decreasing before 1996, and continued to decrease at about the same rate after.
What people seem to forget is that Commonwealth Nations and Western Europe always had low homicide rates. It's not like they had US levels of gun homicide, passed gun bans, and then the rate plummeted. Vast majority of homicides in the US are gang related. Australia doesn't have all the POCs killing each other like we do.
Julian Fisher
>better control over imports
we manufacture our fucking guns here, they don't get imported
Ethan Russell
Still have massacres, just down played. MSM claim zero, but there are cases like the Hunt family, where dad shot and killed his wife and three children before killing himself.
Gun violence was already trending down before the buy back and it continues to decline at the same rate after; so from a stats perspective it achieved nothing.
Robert Lopez
we never had a gun culture like the US. a lot of kids who grew up in the 80s and 90s wouldve gone roo or rabbit shooting on a farm or plinking with grandads old .22, and even if obtaining a licence t oown a firearm isnt really that hard, its still a pain in the ass for city dwellers.
Henry Jackson
EXACTLY.
However the left will always mention shootings as a talking point even though the real problem is overall crime and, most important, the people's ability to defend themselves.
Nicholas Morgan
Isaac Rodriguez
There have actually been heaps of shootings. Mostly by criminals in gang wars and muslims spreading diversity. Suicides by guns and 20+ victim massacres are the only decline.
We don’t have niggers though. So that helps.
Elijah Howard
there is no doubt gun control has significantly contributed to the decrease in mass shootings but its really not that hard to acquire a gun I live in south west Sydney and hear about gun victims armed robberies frequently I even sometimes see shot gun casings that have been fired on football fields
Andrew Walker
Why does everyone care if a person is shot as opposed to being stabbed or beaten to death? The numbers show no real change in trend from the gun control in Australia. Suicides did the same thing. They prevented 0 deaths and wasted tens of millions of dollars of private property and priceless freedoms.
Ryder Edwards
You what? What the hell are you talking about you twat? Socialized medicine is not a better alternative. When people have access to a service for free, a massive proportion of those people will abuse it. So we have 1000's of people admitted each year to public ED for substance abuse, psych issues and other stupid shit. Like they injure themselves by doing a retarded acticity and then expect big ol' argument to pay for their hospital stay.
Our private system works much fucking better. Better facilities, better equipment and services. Plus you can pay determined amount in a private ED and be seen immediately by a doctor. That is the free market for you.
Don't comment on something you have not even taken a cursory amount of time to research. Dumb ass burger.
I should know this. Because I work in the private and public sectors in QLD, Australia.
Aaron Phillips
they never did find those missing stinger missiles from the army did they. still buried outback.
almost every cunt i know in ozzy have guns.
mind you, i was deported.
Noah Hill
try killing 50 people in a night club with a knife

>Australia is a largely homogenous country
Wrong. 20 years ago sure.
Since 2000 though we really fucking hammered by Asian immigration.
Kayden Price
paying Elon tax dollars so he can launch his car into solar orbit was a good investment. Can you even imagine the horror of not having to pay Elon more tax money every time we need to put anything into space? Socialist hell. Its better to pay him in tax dollars to build the rockets so that we can pay him every time we need to use the rockets. That is pure capitalism in action!
Noah Bennett
>car into space
It was a test ballast load on an experimental new rocket. Rockets always send ballast to space on their test launches. Nobody is willing to put their 50 million dollar communications satellite on top just to have it blow up because there was a glitch with the new rocket design.
You faggots are just too stupid to understand what you are talking about and are upset SpaceX sent something fun into space instead of a block of concrete like the other rocket companies do with their new designs.
Christopher Scott
Yeah but they are rusting away and most people aren't training with them. Shooting is a skill that decays very fast. Sure any idiot can shoot good if they take their time and aim for 30 seconds between each shot. But transitioning between targets rapidly and putting shots on target with almost no time to aim is something you need to practive regularly to be any good at.
You can't practice when you guns are buried somewhere and you will get arrested for using them.
Colton Jackson
you probably could stab quite a bit of people before anyone even notices something is happening and then the resulting panic stampede will kill even more
Jeremiah Rogers
That's when you just rent a truck and plow through a crowd, cheaper and easier than a gun
Jacob Rivera
Lucas Miller
>homogeneous
>huge abbo population and constant poo in loos being imported in addition to literally being a nation descended from convicts
Andrew Cox
>Thinking this works
Ryder Adams
Don't even rent it, just steal it and kill the driver. That is what the did in the Nice France truck attack which killed more people than any single gunman mass shooting in world history.
But yeah, we need to ban guns...
Christopher Ross
Australia has regular shootings. Almost daily. Criminals give no fucks about the law.
