    Trump is worth much more than that, and guns are banned when he gives his NRA speeches.

    LOL...He has a Secret Service detail. You DO know that. Right?

    Trump isn't running around screaming about guns should be banned, either. Jeffries is.

    Jeffries is also the victim of a home invasion. I bet he has a security detail, now...lol

    Since the assault rifle gun ban ended, correct.

    I has also asked you for a source, by refusing I guess that is indicative of you just making up data as you go?

    Does that debate strategy really ever work?

    Did you just really say it is acceptable to have mass school shootings until you get the solutions you demand which is… fortifying places of education…

    I don’t think that is really the best way to promote a healthy and safe education environment to advance our students and nation but it is fascinating how far you people are willing to go in order to get whatever you want.

    I am just curious, what age demographic are you in?

    I mean even trump saw there being an issue with 18 year olds being able to buy these types of weapons.

    What's wrong with making schools more secure?

    Most mass shooters are over the age of 21.

    And you have still yet to provide a source.

    I genuinely cannot find it

    As my source pointed out, your assumptions about violent crime in the "Wild West" were wrong.

    And again, they had strict gun control and skilled LEOs in Dodge City proving early on that professional peacekeepers cannot keep the peace without a well armed public.

    One victim murdered is not a mass killing. Why do you keep ignoring that?
    Did you even bother to read your link or did you just look at the title and accept it

    Not true. Whenever outlaws commit violent crimes they are subject to arrest.
    The police just have difficulty catching them. Most crime remain unsolved by law enforcement.

    It could be argued that 4 victims isn't a mass killing.

    Not true. There is massive armed security at all Trump's public events.
    Watch a rally -- many of them are easy to spot.

    Correct one murder is not "mass murder".

    Coogee murders 14/3/22 - 2 victims = not a mass killing

    Whispering Wall murder 21/1/21 - 1 victim = not a mass killing

    Tullamarine murders 14/1/21 - 3 victims = not a mass killing

    Point Cook arson 2/12/20 - 3 victims = not a mass killing

    Melbourne nightclub shooting - 14/4/19 - 1 victim = not a mass killing

    2018 melborne stabbing - 9/11/18 - 1 victim = not a mass killing

    And the list of "not a mass killing" goes on and on

    Do you get the picture

    That was a very good source. Even Wikipedia was able to show that massacres have been far more common in Australia than their gun ban fans want to admit.

    Your equation is all wrong.

    There's no evidence "gun culture" played any role. He was going to kill his grandmother. If he didn't have a gun, he would have used a knife, or a baseball bat or beat her to death with his bare hands.

    It's obvious you were never part of the Joint Task Force of ATF, FBI and Virginia law enforcement agencies trying to stem the flow of guns smuggled into the US along the coasts.

    Guns come across your porous border with Mexico because you refuse to properly secure the border.

    In other words, guns will always be 100% accessible because you can never eliminate 100% of guns.

    There were 18 murders in Chicago in 24 hours but that doesn't bother you, perhaps racism is at play here, because if White people die it's bad, but if Black people die it's okay.

    Note that guns laws -- up to and including banning weapons-- would not have prevented those 18 murders because the weapons were obtained illegally and none of the murders were permitted to have weapons.

    It doesn't. It only appears that it does because of the inordinate amount of Media attention it generates, because the name of the game for the Media is to make money.

    So even if I take your wiki article as absolute fact, can you agree that since the NFA was passed overall death and murders have decreased in Australia?

    I’ll add you in as well since you feel it was a “very good source”
    Have overall deaths by firearms decreased, even accounting for the increase in mass shootings?

    Also, why does an alleged failure in one nation ignore the successes in dozens of others?

    .

    I do get the picture. Your math is off.
    Count the victims again.

    Example: There were actually 6 victims not "1" from Melbourne nightclub shooting - 14/4/19

    I am also finding that many of the “mass shootings” that have occurred since the NFA were not public shootings. They didn’t happen at schools or churches but were private shootings that happened at home.

    There is far too much violent crime in national with strict gun control to justify disarming the public.
    And the kind of governments disarm their own people are notorious for undercounting crime.
