if your idea of data is just how many people get killed by what kind of weapon, then any sort of long gun of any type should be legal and all handguns should be illegal. and while we're at it, bazookas, mortars and close air support aircraft should be legal for private users too. but airliners should be banned from the skies, because data shows them to be quite deadly in the hands of terrorists.

Agreed. Firearm (or weapon) legislation is not based on data at all regardless of jurisdiction. Especially not per capita data. Thus the entire purpose of this thread is moot and we should create policy based on who is in power at the time. Totally reasonable.

Or we could just go by what works in the States...like the founders of our country intended.

But again who cares...never waste a good crisis or care about facts. #resist

My training

Something to consider when debating gun laws. Data is from 2010

31,672 gun related deaths. 11,078 were homicides.
36,000 car related deaths.
98,000 malpractice related deaths
100,000 alcohol related deaths
400,000 obesity related deaths
450,000 tobacco related deaths. 50,000 were from 2nd hand smoke

I agree that automatic weapons should be banned, which they are. The majority of FB posts are calling for a complete ban of guns. Over reaction due to the tragic events. Do you ban all the above as well?

the rhodes scholar schooling me on "data" in the posts above, using france as an example of why none of this matters at all, neglects to mention that france has about 70 percent fewer guns than the U.S., per capita, and has about 70 percent of fewer gun deaths, per capita. so, data is apparently how we determine public policy. until (apparently) it isn't.

here's what doesn't matter: what anybody else beside gun enthusiasts think. i don't know why you're even asking me, because i'm not a gun enthusiast, and i don't spend that much time thinking about gun laws, and if i was james brady brought back to life, with the oratorical skills of william jennings bryan, it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference what i say. what matters is what gun enthusiasts think, because they very clearly set the agenda. so you guys do what you want. you guys decide what the gun laws should be. you guys decide what sort of death rate from gun violence is sustainable. and that's what we're going to do as a country and you won't hear a peep from me. just please don't blow smoke up my ass and try to pretend that america's highest (by far!) rate of gun ownership doesn't give us the highest (by far!) death rate by gun among 1st world countries.

Firstly, let me pass on my thoughts to your country in this time of tragedy.

Secondly, looking at the data above....
31,672 gun related deaths Over reaction due to the tragic events.
so wdowe, your data shows that in 2010, 31,672 of your people ( that's an awful lot of real people, not one of those individuals is DATA, each one of those is a real someone to someone else) died from a Gun Related Death.
that's averaged over the year as 86+ deaths per day. even if half were suicides, then that's still 43 real people KILLED per day from a gun related death.
wdowe, do you want to pick which 43 people that will be tomorrow?
Maybe someone else can pick the next 43 people to die on Thursday, and someone else who's arguing the minutia of the current gun laws can pick the 43 to die on Friday of this week..
From afar, many many people in the world look at this and want to scream from the top of our lungs...
"How can this not be a thing that you're (USA) not moving heaven and hell to rectify"

 1,516 mass shootings in 1,735 days: America's gun crisis – in one chart
The attack at a country music festival in Las Vegas that left at least 58 people dead is the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history – but there were six other mass shootings in America this past week alone.
No other developed nation comes close to the rate of gun violence in America. Americans own an estimated 265m guns, more than one gun for every adult.
Data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive reveals a shocking human toll: there is a mass shooting – defined as four or more people shot in one incident, not including the shooter – every nine out of 10 days on average.

2) He had an Alaska hunting license.

That reporting was erroneous. ADFG says that he had an Alaska fishing license in 2009 and 2010, but they have no record that he ever had an Alaska hunting license.

I don’t get this argument; never have. The logic of it is that you don’t tackle something with a low number on that list because there are other things with higher numbers. So don’t address obesity until you’ve got tobacco related deaths down to under 400,000? Why not? More acutely, why can’t there be multiple efforts in multiple fronts to reduce avoidable deaths?

The top 5 in your list are largely from self inflicted harm from personal vices. The medical stuff is also not generally malicious. The difference with gun deaths is that they are usually something that people did to someone else without their consent. They are instruments created for the purpose of killing.

To try to minimize it by comparing it to causes of every day mortality is just stupid.

Nothing is going to change nationally, Sandy Hook did nothing - those were 1st graders.. Las Vegas- their survival needs people to come relaxed with open pockets. See some local ordinaces as well has massive increase in security. There will probably be short influx of people, but average joe has rebooked their vacation.

What would you change? Serious question.

Keep in mind a few facts: We have a Constitutional Right to bear arms. We are a country of excess with individuals who have the financial means to do more, per capital, than citizens of any other country in the world. We have almost unfettered access to travel. We do not tolerate what we perceive as "excessive" police presence. We are still pissed about the TSA restrictions at airports. We refuse to infringe on the "privacy interests" of those with mental health issues.

So, what do you want to change?

I will tell you these incidents could be reduced and it would not involve a gun ban. Are you ready to go down that road?

Not trying to minimize anything. Does someone give consent to be hit and killed by a drunk driver? We can argue back on forth on details. My point was, which all of you missed was.... FB posts and people in general are calling for a complete ban of guns. Go ahead and put more restrictions or ban the auto / semi auto weapons. Go ahead and make the laws more difficult for the everyday person to get a gun. That's fine, I would support that. Banning all guns, in my opinion is an over reaction to a tragic situation.

Bad shit happens everyday. It will continue to happen as the world we live in gets worse everyday. Until people can respect each other as individuals nothing will change. The world is getting less intelligent each day and common sense in nearly gone.

Again, I am not minimizing the tragic events of any mass shootings. Please don't put words in my mouth.

Since ammo is the consumable- this would logically (not saying anything about second amendment) that guns could be controlled. Over time stockpiles would decrease.

I've heard full auto M-16, AK-47 and other model auto weapons, fired all but the AK myself in my military career. The sounds coming from the hotel room Sunday did not match those sounds. To me, it sounded like one of those wind up attachments that make a semi auto fire more quickly but make it harder to aim.

Greenplease already mentioned this.

They've already announced he used a bump-stock(s). All his weapons were legally obtained, no full-auto in the bunch.

FFS, who give a flying phuck what specific weapon or setup he used....
how do y'all over there ever hope to reduce the incidents of gun related deaths or yet another Orlando, another Sandy Hook or another Las Vegas type mass shooting when most of you are dissecting the specifics of the weapon used.

do any of the smart Slowtwitched have any real world ideas to help reduce the social catastrophe that has resulted from your constitutional right to bear arms and the number of weapons in your community?
if this was occurring in some dry sandy country just south east of the Mediterranean, then many of you may even suggest " just turn it to glass".
so what's your home-grown solution to the one thing that kills ten times more people per year than 911 ever did. I mean y'all waged more than a decade long war, costing trillion$ and countless lives of combatants and civilians in that case.... so what are you going to do?

oh yeah, send prayers and thoughts.....and not politicise it.

well phuck me America, you are not apparently strong enough to look inwards

In 1996, after 35 people were killed in the Port Arthur Massacre, you blokes effectively outlawed guns to prevent mass killings.

Between 1971 and 1996 (25 years), you had 16 mass murders, killing 99 people. 15 of those 99 were killed by arson. 33 of those 99 were lone gunmen who killed their families.

But, in 1996, you decided enough was enough. Fair enough.

Since 1996 (21 years), you have had 14 mass murders, killing 89 people.

That gun ban really worked out for ya.

That's not to say America does not have a lot of work to do. It most certainly does. But snarky comments from the Land Down Under are laughable, at best.

Doesn't Australia have one of the lowest rates of gun homicides in the world?

My comments JSA are not snarkly, I really am genuine when I say what can you do to reduce this carnage, the ongoing, never-ending carnage.

the point JSA is that by doing SOMETHING, we effectively reduced the potential of future incidents.
What I try to do is not dissect the data to the n'th degree. This is real people that we are talking about.
so in Oz for the years that you listed, we've had 90% of the deaths of the previous time frame... and that a terrible result.
now factor in what may have happened if there had not been an outlawing of guns.
how has the USA fared if we look at the years that you've listed, say the 21 years up to 1996 and then the 21 years since 1996...
That I'm guessing will be terrifyingly HUGE increase in dead people. Your own people, not enemy combatants, not others over there somewhere but your own people.

Both before and after the ban, they are in the lowest 25%. That's the point. Most of these foreign countries think banning guns will end mass killings. If you look at statistics like those I posted above, effectively banning guns had virtually no effect of the total number of mass killings or total number of deaths from said mass killings. I'm sure Australia felt good about its gun restrictions. But those actions were justified by the call to end mass killings. Statistically, those actions had zero effect on mass killings.

Now, I am not claiming the same effect would happen in the US. But, Australia is regularly pointed to as the example of action being taken after a mass shooting. However, if you look at the actual numbers, it is a foolish statistic.

Before the ban: If we take out the 7 gang members killed in a shootout with another gang and we take out the family murder-suicides, there were 40 members of the public killed in shooting sprees. 99 total deaths.

After the ban: 28 members of the public were killed in shooting sprees. 89 total deaths.

Are guns the common denominator in these mass murders?

If that is the case, then I apologize and welcome any suggestions because this is a problem and those of us in the US recognize it as such. Where we struggle is our fear of giving up a fundamental Constitutional Right and the slippery slope we fear that could cause.

You don't know that. You did not have a trend or a pattern. You had one outlier. You pushed through this legislation on the basis that it would reduce mass murders. My stats show it did no such thing. Now, you can claim that, without this action, the killings between 1996 and 2017 would have doubled. But that is pure speculation and, as I mentioned, you did not have a pattern or a trend suggesting that would be the case. In addition, your politicians "promised" (I use that term lightly) this would REDUCE mass killings by preventing them in the future. It did not.


Yes, it is real people we are talking about. In the US, you are talking about taking away a real Constitutional Right from real people. If we are going to do that, we need some significant justification. We need more than speculation that this will make us safer as a people.

We have a lot of people over here who are pointing to Australia as the example. Poor choice as your mass murder rate did not statistically dip as a result of your ban. Well, here we would be talking about removing a Constitutional Right, so we are going to need a little more than your pure speculation that is not supported by the numbers.


Therein lies the horrible dilemma we face. Hopefully, my responses above give you a little insight as to why it is such an important issue.

Since 1996 (21 years), you have had 14 mass murders, killing 89 people.

So in a given year on average, just over 4 people are killed in a mass murder.

I would think that whatever they are doing, maybe the U.S could look into it instead of dismissing it outright.

Which is the same rate as before the ban. So, did the gun ban reduce mass murders?

The point is - Australia cannot be used as an example of effective gun control used to reduce mass murders. It didn't. The second point is - the issue of mass murder is independent of the tool used, at least in Australia, which keeps being brought up here in the US.

64,million adults are on psychiatric meds and half of these are on opioids also.
40 million are on opioids only.

This about close to half the adult population. Perhaps we could start by restricting their gun ownership. However that will never fly and most of those people would never cause a problem so perhaps it is too broad a brush to use. But how do you pinpoint the half dozen who would cause a problem?
