I Have a Question

So if stricter gun control won't solve anything why has it worked so goddamn well in Australia?

How many mass shootings have they had since the 90's? Even one?

How many has the US had? Something like 70.

Why is strict gun control "not working" so effectively over there?

Hi Uncle
They looked at five category of firearms laws and scored the laws based upon each state

The higher score meant higher law control
The abstract doesn't give the category determinants but I expect they are related to varying influencers such as sale, license etc

They linked more gun control to lower death rate (suicide and homocide)

They can't simply it's pure cause and effect
They did control for various factors though

More research is need

Legislation is imporatant, but of course but the only strategy

Guns were removed from Irish society (bar hunting weapons) after all the trouble this island saw... Revolutions, war of independence, civil war etc. We have very little gun crime... Mostly gangland

Guns are just not our culture
Gun laws are one thing culture is another

Much respect my friend
