That's not what all the proposed "common sense gun reform" wiuld do though. We already have laws for that. Felons are prohibited persons and not allowed to own firearms. "Gun reform" just makes it harder for law abiding people to own firearms

How is it bullshit? What evidence do you have to back it up? I can link you the the Australian Bureau of Statistics and their reports detailing crime stastics back to 1993 and you can see for yourself

Even in 1996 Australianhad a much lower homicide rate than the US. We could erase all guns in the US and Australia would still have a lower homicide rate

Stop trying to focus on a single aspect. The actual homicide rate did not drop until 2003 well after the gun buy backs. Firearm homicides were already lower. Lives were not saved. The way they were killed was just changed

I'd protect them with a gun. It's that simple

non-sequitur, but I doubt Charlie Kirk would change his mind now if he could. I wouldn't change my mind if I got shot.

Not only that, but suicide in Australia only dropped a few points (more from less people committing suicide by gas than less by guns) and the rate has climbed back up some after it went down.

That's 7 years of the only difference being less gun violence but not less overall violence.

Despite Australia posting graphs that show a reduction in gun deaths right after the gun buyback in 96-97 and reduced firearm deaths, the overall homicide rate did not really start dropping until around 2003. A smaller percentage of murders used firearms, but it didn't affect the rate

But again, why are you only concerned with such a small portion of violence? Especially since if you target violence, instead of the weapon, it will also reduce gun violence. Do you want to reduce violence, or merely gun violence?

Charlie Kirk had a response to that: The US has basically eliminated shootings anywhere we've put armed security. Why don't we protect our children like we protect our money?

Regulating guns doesn't do anything to stop violence. It, at best, stops gun violence. But the people committing violence in the US won't stop just because they don't have a gun

Mass shooters are murderers and I have no sympathy for them. They deserve all the sympsthy in the world until they pull the trigger. Don't try to teist my own words on me. I actually have principles

As far as I know the only death was the shooter committing suicide
But are you concerned merely with violence at school, or violence in general? And do you want to stop as much violence as possible, or only a small amount?

I did. I found an organization that runs in some cities but it's hard to find anything about them except it seems they sprouted from Boston's movement. Their website is bare, they don't go into detail on their processes, and last I checked there's no list of where they operate

We've tried before. And we stopped because it's not a politcally profitable move. Im the 90s Boston's Operation Ceasefire lowered the cities homicide rate over 30% without targetting guns.
I can hardly find any info on modern initiatives like it

Violence prevention isn't a one and done thing. It's a perpetual ongoing process, and if you make that process banning things you will never stop

You're still missingy point. I know UK knife killings are lower. But the media panics about it anyways. They try to pass more legislation. The moral panic will never stop and the bans will never stop if you only deal with the weapons

Zombie Knives and Ninja Swords are the UK equivalent to Assault Weapons in the US

My point is that the moral panic about weapons will never end if you think banning them is how you actually reduce violence. It's much lower there than in the US but they're still trying to ban knives.

You're naive if you think guns are the only way someone can hurt you. The UK goes on about their knife epidemic despite lower rates than the US, and most women aren't going to be anle to defend themselves unarmed against a man

I get it, you've proven you only care about kids dying in schools and are ok with them dying everywhere else. You've already proven your're a piece of shit. Now go be a good little boot licker for The Party™ and do your two minites hate

Like I said elsewhere, Bukele dropped the homicide rate for El Salvador from over 50 to 1.9 by locking up all the violent people.
If you don't think we can do anything about violence you're really just ok with it then. The tools don't matter.

Because that argument leads to banning everything like rhe UK and leaving people defensless. Even pepper spray and tazers, completely defense weapons, are banned because someone might misuse them
