And rifles STILL only account for %3.4 of the firearm murders and %2.5 of the total homicides(knives, blunt objects and hands/feet account for more homicides). Assault rifles are but one subset of the rifle group.

But, I guess no one wants to peel themselves from their edgy political twitter talking points and juvenile snarky comments to address what exactly banning assault rifles will do to lower the high homicide rate in this country.
Expanded Homicide Data Table 4

Why isn't anyone addressing the much more relevant issues to the high homicide rate such as that of income, education, resources, family structure, and development environment which is what REALLY correlates far more closely to the homicide rate in this nation than level of gun liberties.

But as momentum builds for a new assault weapons ban, data shows just how small of an effect such legislation would have on the overall levels of gun violence in the U.S.

At least 84 people have been killed and 119 have been injured so far this year in 86 shooting incidents involving assault-style rifles, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a not-for-profit corporation that tracks gun violence. Those numbers include the casualties at Pulse nightclub over the weekend.

There have been at least 267 incidents involving assault-style rifles in 2016, including reported weapons thefts, crimes in which the guns were brandished, arrests for illegal possession and other legal interventions in which they weren’t fired.

Those deaths account for about 2 percent of the 6,153 gun deaths and less than 1 percent of the 12,560 gun injuries the Gun Violence Archive has counted so far this year. This tally consists largely of homicides and assaults, but also includes suicides that were part of a murder-suicide. It also counts accidental deaths, the majority of which involve handguns, not rifles.

The thing with the gun control solution, for me, is that it seems like America is way beyond the point of no return. How would they even enforce it? I mean, the same side shouting for gun control are the most distrustful of cops, but it would be cops enforcing gun control...the same way they enforce everything else.

Australia :yeshrug: Australia also has free healthcare for its citizens.

I think they go hand in hand. Put gun restrictions on people with a history of mental instability. Don’t let a regular joe come off the street looking for semi auto obtain it. Let’s evaluate people’s history... medical, mental, drug abuse domestic abuse, military record etc

Gonna go look into them more and come back. Free healthcare is definitely a plus. Off rip I'd say they have a huge advantage over us simply by being cut off by water. Black market is probably nonexistent compared to us. And a smaller population. Stuff makes a difference.

We still get shootings here. A couple of weeks past there was a drive by a block from my house. Guy got shot in the ass by somebody riding a motorbikeh. The state I live in has 850,000 registered firearms for 7.5 million people.


Obviously it's nothing like America, there's never mass shootings and the homicide rate is quite low. But there still is some gun crime and millions of registered firearms in circulation. So I think your point about managing mental health might have some legs. Is there anything else you want to add to your thoughts?

Holy man... I had to come out of my hiding real quick.haha Can this, what you wrote be any more precise? Someone fukking send this to everyone in twitter and internet some how. Maybe they don't like talking about the real issues/reasons. Is that why people are so quick to talk nonsense? Are we not kicking enough knowledge to people? Or is it that people just say fukk it it's my opinion? People seem to just look at shyt in such a mundane way also yo. Somehow like, shooter, killed, gun, gun control. That's the type of assessing and stand a young kid takes when they young. People don't get shyt I've noticed, I'm frankly tired of it. It reminds me of my family, can't get them to understand shyt no matter how many fukking times you tell them. Somethings need to be done and addressed.

A gun shall be placed every three feet. You should never be more than a yard away from a gun. Sometimes Bad Guys will use these guns, but if at least 51% of the population is Good Guys, we'll come out on top. Gun.
Except for when the good guys can't tell who's another good guy or who's the bad guy and end up shooting one another.
Or when theres so many "good guys" shooting as well as the bad guy(s) a whole bunch of Innocents get killed in the crossfire.
Or when....

I mean nothing can go wrong!
A gun in every pot!

Lets address all the issues, deal?. Not every human is fit to have a gun. And if you can't drink liquor till you 21 you probably should not get a gun till you 21 as well. I also purpose we make it harder for these loner types to get a gun some how. But that is not solving the problem. That could prevent some tragedy's from happening. But everything else this man has said needs to be addressed.

Because there is room for both. Ironically the same people who are for gun liberties are also against expanding healthcare and other social services. :camby:

These idiots have seen way too many movies, and played way too many video games.
As an educator how strange is it that they are normalizing the notion that schools should no longer be kept and considered safe places?

Have they replaced fire drills with active shooter drills?
