After a 1996 Mass Shooting, Australia Enacted Strict Gun Laws. It Hasn't Had a Similar Massacre Since.

So there!

At the heart of the push was a massive buyback of more than 600,000 semi-automatic shotguns and rifles, or about one-fifth of all firearms in circulation in Australia. The country’s new gun laws prohibited private sales, required that all weapons be individually registered to their owners, and required that gun buyers present a “genuine reason” for needing each weapon at the time of the purchase. (Self-defense did not count.) In the wake of the tragedy, polls showed public support for these measures at upwards of 90 percent.

What happened next has been the subject of several academic studies. Violent crime and gun-related deaths did not come to an end in Australia, of course. But as the Washington Post’s Wonkblog pointed out in August, homicides by firearm plunged 59 percent between 1995 and 2006, with no corresponding increase in non-firearm-related homicides. The drop in suicides by gun was even steeper: 65 percent. Studies found a close correlation between the sharp declines and the gun buybacks. Robberies involving a firearm also dropped significantly. Meanwhile, home invasions did not increase, contrary to fears that firearm ownership is needed to deter such crimes. But here’s the most stunning statistic. In the decade before the Port Arthur massacre, there had been 11 mass shootings in the country. There hasn’t been a single one in Australia since.

Facts don't matter to paranoid gun-nuts. Never will.

but is evidence really the point?

i mean, everyone knows that smoking can cause lung cancer, but suppose a smoker says "i'm aware of this risk, but i enjoy smoking too much to give it up; if i get cancer then that's a price i'm willing to pay to continue doing what i enjoy". quoting evidence at such a person would be just talking past them. and before you say "oh, but they're harming themselves, not others (passive smoking aside)", what about the effect our western lifestyles have on the environment? we're aware of the damage caused by emissions, maybe even aware that in some parts of the world that damage is fatal to people - but we still drive our cars everywhere, and boo-hoo about gas prices, and claim we're the victims of a 'war on the motorist' (a classic Daily Fail theme)

other people take the hit for us exercising our freedom to drive, to buy useless shit and cover our houses with christmas lights - and the destruction caused is greater than anything done by the Adam Lanzas, Anders Breiviks and Dylan Klebolds of the world. can anyone on this board honestly claim that the evidence for this made them sell their car, cancel that overseas vacation, stop buying consumer crap etc etc?

fuck no

Twitter complaints that Obama's speech on the shooting interrupted a football game

http://deadspin.com/5968935/take-that-n ... t-football

Take that n.igger off the tv, we wanna watch football! @Hester52 @Ty_CoolerThanU

Obama you stupid sand n.igger get off my tv. Your just making the families hurt and miss their kids more and I want to watch football

really? can't even watch sunday night football cuz our n.igger prez has to talk, really?

I don't want to see some n.ig making a speech, I want to watch the 49ers beat the patriots

It goes on forever...

America...the largest congregation of the dumbest motherfuckers who ever walked the Earth.

Rednecks please...do us all a favor and kill yourselves today. Don't wait for Friday (when I'm sure a few of them will kill themselves anyways...because Mayans) but do it now. Don't go kill a bunch of other people to "take as many as you can with you"...because nobody deserves to share the consequences of your angry, racist, paranoid and horribly pathetic worldview. Just quietly, deliberately grab your gun, stick it in your mouth and pull the fucking trigger. You are a cancer on the human condition.

What I find even more retarded is that the people posting the racist complaints about their President giving a speech for the vigil are exactly the people who needed to hear it. Instead, they wanted to watch football.

These people are beyond help.
