Australia instituted a ban... that’s not what’s being pushed by liberals(so they say)... not sure why a side by side comparison is being made.
There are nations with lax gun laws and less crime too...
Doesn’t really mean much in my opinion. In my opinion no other country is close enough in size, wealth, wealth disparity, culture, and diversity to make a meaningful comparison.
But I’m willing to listen, explain exactly what Australia’s ban means for the U.S. and why it’s Australia we should look to?
We've already been through this. Australia didn't just implement a ban, they did all of the following:
"He noted that, among other things, the Australian government “banned automatic and semiautomatic firearms, adopted new licensing requirements, established a national firearms registry, and instituted a 28-day waiting period for gun purchases. It also bought and destroyed more than 600,000 civilian-owned firearms, in a scheme that cost half a billion dollars and was funded by raising taxes.” The entire overhaul, Friedman pointed out, took just months to implement."
The idea that you can't compare things because they're not exactly the same is nonsense. Australia is just one example, and it's a conservative talking point to say that imperfect measures mean we shouldn't do anything.
Link to the reductions in gun deaths directly attributed to background checks?
And are we allowed to consider examples like Illinois where such measures have proven worthless?
Or Arizona which has lax gun laws the second highest(per capita) gun ownership rate and one of the lowest crime rates in the country?
Or do we need to focus on the states and countries that fit your narrative?
Go to google and type in "gun deaths in states with strict gun control" and take your pick of articles.
It's rich for you to mention fitting an narrative when you're cherry picking facts. Illinois is bordered by Indiana, which has lax gun control. Guns flow freely from Indiana to Illinois, which can also be found through a simple Google search.
Good on Arizona, but one example doesn't mean that inaction is the best choice.
Narrative
article says it was a charter school, so it's not a total loss
NOOOOOOOOO THIS HURTS THE FEELINGS OF GUN OWNERS (btw i am very smart and only use facts, not feelings, owned libs, sarcastic dap)
I said negligible effect... if you’re resorting to making things up I know you’re in your feels.
Suck it up, snowflake.
That liberal bush immunity.
