    Your usual desperate attempt to muddy the waters when you're caught misrepresenting a study.... never mind.

    Perhaps a more relevant question to be asking is how many of these mass shooters were taking medication prescribed to them for one reason or another? How many of them committed their acts while actually on the medication, and suffering from the adverse side effects that are worse than the conditions they are supposed to treat?

    Nope, he used semi-autos with bump devices, not full auto per federal law. The bump stocks were approved as not being full automatic during the Obama Administration.

    LOL, typical, you lie and run away.

    Read the report. Others will, and your dishonesty will be known.

    When you're caught making a false claim you double down. LOL, you're still following the same playbook.

    Regardless, if they didn't have access to firearms they wouldn't be committing mass shootings.

    I request people read the report and learn the truth from the source. Don't take my word for it. I always go back to the primary sources.

    You on the other hand, use propaganda, lies, and obfuscation. Nobody is fooled. You should be banned. Although your shallow dishonesty does wonders for the gun rights movement and it would be a sad loss for you to be banned, but the truth is more important and your constant dishonesty should be punished.

    And if there were no disease in the world, no one would suffer deaths related to illness. Both points, however, are nothing more than circular logic and not indicative of the real world. These individuals do have access to firearms, and there is nothing that can be done to prevent such from occurring. The individual David Katz is proof of such.

    We could do a lot to reduce that access to people who should not have guns

    Didnt Jim Jones want a socialist utopia? He really used racial tension to his advantage.
    Equality, the Bible and belonging for all. In reality he was just a megalomaniac drug addicted wacko.

    Yours is a statement of ignorance and/or dishonesty -- no US mass shooting has been committed with an automatic weapon.

    Not in the law -- it is quite clear.
    "Bump Fire" can be achieved with a rubber band, or a shoestring.

    Lol no they are not. They are generally semi automatic pistols.

    Read the report

    It is quite clear that only a small minority were diagnosed as having mental health issues

    It's a response to ""Regardless, if they didn't have access to firearms they wouldn't be committing mass shootings." Even your people have access to guns for mass shootings. It's a stupid comment from G.

    Absence of an official diagnosis, however, does not mean the underlying issues were not present in the other cases.

    The only thing that keeps someone from committing a mass shooting in Australia is the absence of a desire to do so.

    What we don't have access to are rapid fire weapons

    Really. Do people still own pump action shotguns in Australia? Do people still own 9mm handguns with 10 round magazines in Australia? Are the 200,000 banned firearms whose owners ignored the 1996 buy back and every amnesty period since still capable of being used in a mass shooting?

    For the sake of clarity, is it being stated on the part of yourself, that the nation of Australia has a populace with violent individuals, who are currently free in society, that are both ready and willing to kill not only themselves, but also anyone else that may happen to simply be around them at any given time?
