Both the UK and Australia banned guns.... both had school shootings and said "This can never happen again" guess what... it never happened again.

Guns were banned in the UK in 1997, since then there has not been a school shooting and actually gun crime is very very very low.

Both countries had an amnesty and this worked very well, and within a few short year

At last count there were 130 mass shootings in the USA this year alone. The UK has had 7 since 1996.

So I would say no, liberals are not stupid... they are looking at facts and data from other countries who have banned guns and thinking that the USA could do it too.

@raphjd That was a bit of a hop skip and a jump there. I did not say the UK has had no gun crime... I said the UK has not had another school shooting. I can give you the shooting it was called Dumblane.... please point me to another school shooting in the UK after this one as this is the mass shooting that caused the UK to say "Never Again"

In fact in the 10 years after guns were banned gun crime dramatically fell, and is still at a much much lower level than it was when they were legal.

I point back to my post..... 130 mass shootings in the USA so far this year alone.... in the UK since 1997 there have been 7.

The USA had 3.96 deaths per 100,000 people in 2019 as a result of guns. That was more than eight times as high as the rate in Canada, which had 0.47 deaths per 100,000 people — and nearly 100 times higher than in the United Kingdom, which had 0.04 deaths per 100,000.

So please tell us... how banning guns does not work?

@raphjd Your comparison does not make sense... you are comparing 1 gun crime here to 1 gun crime in the USA.

When in fact the USA's gun crime figures are considerably higher. What you are doing is skirting the facts and figures to try and make a triangle piece fit into a circular hole.

So I wont go into too much detail but answer me this...

USA mass shootings... 130 so far this year.... UK... 7 since Dumblane. So if gun control does not work why is the USA on 130 mass shootings this year alone.

Lets compare that to the UK this year so its actually 130 vs 1. If we scale the UK up to the USA population it should be 26.

You can argue it all you want but the figures speak for themselves. I would have more respect if you just said "I like owning guns"
