Criminals don't abide by the laws. It wouldn't change a thing.

1. In Australia where we introduced laws and it stopped the regular mass shootings. So... yes, gun laws changed things. Big time. They were regular, then they stopped.
2. Mass shootings are not carried out by run of the mill criminals. It's usually either terrorists, or in the US more likely another nutter.

@Abstraction I'm not familiar with that. What laws did they make that stopped the mass shootings? A lot of people here need to know about this.

@Nitedoc It was a government gun buy-back scheme and tighter controls on who could have a gun. It wasn't a ban, but it reduced the number of guns out there. I think the social conditions are different in Australia, I don't think it's realistic to have the same laws, but there is certainly space to tighten up on assault style weapon ownership, stronger checks on who can have a weapon...
