So what, do nothing? The over supply of guns isn't going to be solved in a short time frame but you have to start moving in the right direction. Ausy had a buy back scheme which was very successful. NZ has a law that you have to keep certain class of weapons at a gun range, you can't keep them at home. There are lots of smart people who can come up with creative solutions if the collective will allows it. Sadly not going to happen.

You left out Sydney Seige ,Dec 14 3 dead 4 wounded

I think anything over 3 is classed a mass shooting, which is petty dumb IMO. One happens everyday in the US fyi.

No doubt if people are motivated to kill they will find a way so 100% i agree gun control is only part of the issue but to say the easy access to guns has no effect of the homicide and suicide rate just isn't true.

From the gun owners that I know, the feeling is that the progressive left will always want to nibble at the issue until their right to own ANY gun is taken away.

Therefore , they oppose almost ALL gun regulation
I think this is mostly accurate. I don't think its the intent of progressives to eventually take all guns away, but it may be that fear that the NRA has been selling for a long time. Its wearing thin with almost weekly tragedies as evidenced by the fedupness with the "moment of silence" and "Thoughts and Prayers" crapola. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
I have read that for it to be a "mass shooting" it requires 4 or more deaths.

Hoddle Street massacre Clifton Hill, Victoria 7 dead
Queen Street massacre 8 December 1987 8 dead
Surry Hills shootings 30 August 1990 5 dead 7 injured
Strathfield massacre 17 August 1991 7 dead
Central Coast massacre 27 October 1992 6 dead
1993 Cangai siege March 1993 5 dead

I removed all the mass shooting that only involved family members or gang fights. There are alot of those too.

But I'm sure that gun control has nothing to do with the FACT that there haven't been any more mass shootings in Australia but there seems to be one a week here.
So single digit casualties (including the wounded ) are now considered “mass shootings”? That’s a pretty low standard . Those happen almost weekly in Chicago alone .

You left out Sydney Seige Dec 2014. A MASS SHOOOTING after the law 3 dead 4 wounded by a gunman on a shooting spree .





Your Cangai reference involves a guy who went on a 9 day killing spree (NOT A Mass Shooting )

Central Coast massacre details (NOT a Mass shooting )
The shootings started at 9:12 p.m. at the Terrigal apartment shared by Kerry Gannon and her 18-year-old sister Lisa Gannon, who was pregnant. Both were shot dead and their bodies were discovered inside the apartment. Their father, Thomas Gannon, 43, who had been visiting for a few days, was found dead in the street. 22-year-old Christopher Gall, a friend of the sisters, was severely injured, suffering a gunshot wound to the face.[3]

Baker then drove to the resort of Bateau Bay, where he arrived about ten minutes later, and shot dead his 27-year-old son David.[2] His body was discovered in the back yard of the home he shared with his wife and baby.[3]

Baker then went to a house in Wyong, 15 kilometres north of Bateau Bay. Arriving there shortly before 10 p.m., he shot dead Ross Smith, 35, and critically injured Leslie Read, 25, at the home they shared. Read died two hours later in hospital. Smith and Baker had had a confrontation about two years prior, over a business deal gone sour.[3]

Lisa Gannon was due to give birth to her child in December. Efforts to save her baby failed.[3]

At 11.00 p.m., Baker walked into a police station, surrendered, and handed over a 12 gauge pump-action shotgun. Baker was charged with six counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.[3]



Strathfield massacre started by the shooter stabbing two girls in the middle of the mall with a knife and killing them ( then pulled out a rifle ).


Queen street was a calculated attack against a single person that went haywire and the shooter panicked ( similar to a botched bank robbery) WASN’T A MASS SHOOTING




So how many “mass shootings” actually occurred ???????

You also neglected to mention the mass carnage caused by a terrorist driving a vehicle in 2017 that was comitted. 6 dead 30 wounded. Also missing are the massacres by arson . Further proving if people want to kill they will kill.

So if I am counting correctly

Hoddle Street massacre is the only actual mass shooting/ murder pre gun ban .
Strathfield is a 50/50 could be argued either way , sure mass killing , but gun related only.......no


And there is one mass shooting post ban . Sydney Seige (Same amount of people injured by gunfire in Hoddle)


Only in addition you also have a mass killing by vehicle.


Seems like post ban is even more dangerous ��

if you break out the numbers to homicides per capita, it's still not looking good for the US. I guess it just baffles me that pro-gun NRA folks won't even recognize there is a problem.

For the record, i do not hunt but most of my friends have guns. i am not for taking guns away from people but i can at least recognize there is a problem in this country and the number of guns here has some causation. The NRA and their blanket anti-any-gun-law attitude is something that i do not understand.

Not only is trump campaigning for Roy Moore, he is lying about the qualifications of the opponent to pimp Moore. Fact check... Not Faux news....from Fox news. So the question is, how low can he go?

Oh I think both sides recognize there is definitely a gun related violence problem. I myself 100% believe that. The difference between sides is the left blames the guns, and the right blames the people and society. . The right is always calling for the strict enforcement of gun laws on the books. Why should we add more laws and restrictions if the courts and justice system won’t enforce the ones already at their disposal? Why not ip the penalties and make possessing illegal firearms a very high crime ? After all illegally obtained weapons account for 95-98% of gun crimes.

The problem is that the current administration is lowering the enforcement of the laws that are on the books. Trump made it easier for mentally unstable people to get guns. who is for this? The NRA is.

illegally obtained weapons do not account for the mass murder psychos.

The NRA has made it illegal to even fund a study to see what types of gun laws will work.

All I'm hearing from the Right is "Lets do nothing and see if it gets better" The right says that it is not a gun issue its a mental health issue, then they cut funding for mental health.

We continue to do nothing and its a safe bet that another group of kids will be killed in the next 6 months, and all we are offered as a solution is thoughts and prayers.

How about something we should all be able to agree on (unless you own Comcast): net neutrality

http://beta.latimes.com/opinion/op-e...122-story.html

This is a big deal.

Net neutrality action:
1. On a computer (not your phone*) go to: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express
2. Enter (under "Proceeding") the numbers 17-108 and select from the dropdown menu.
3. Fill out your personal information as required.
4. In comments, write (and whatever else you'd like to add): "I support Title 2 oversight of ISPs. I also support net neutrality."
*Fill in the form carefully; they've made it less friendly and impossible (on purpose) to fill in by phone.
Do it now. Copy & Paste and Pass it on.

You can't be serious. The Obozo admin was pushing for net neutrality when he was in office. The left was all about it when they thought they'd be able to control the messaging with it in place. But now the faux rage cause "their guy" isn't in power. This isn't a left or right issue & the sooner people get past that the better off we'll all be.

Yes, the obama admin put in place the rules for net neutrality, so we agree there. The trump admin put in place the guy who is trying to get rid of net neutrality. So it kinda is a left right issue. Look at who is for it and aganst it in congress, their is a distnct pattern on only republicans being in favor of removing the net neutrality rules.

Well the good news is the Pubes don't have the votes so if it passes there is plenty of egg on the lefts face. From what I've gathered though the way these companies have been undermining the current net neutrality is they are simply buying up or merging with others to get their wishes. The short bit I've been able to go read is our current justice department is busing up or putting a stop to these mergers. Which sort of makes the issue moot?

Trump says Access Hollywood tape of him admitting to groping women is fake. The only thing that is fake is that he is a fake president.
Pocahontas is fake too.

Trump has no regard for the truth. All those years of having everyone suck up to him because he's rich apparently has taught him that no one has the right to question him and therefore is not deserving of the truth.

I'm not sure he has no regard for the truth. Its more he thinks he can say anything and then he believes his lie is now truth. Having a Sarah Huckabee to back up his crap does not hurt either. Did I add her to the deplorable list? Even as in this case, he admitted it (as locker room talk) now he has a new lie to toss out to his base. (Note to base, take a look at the video, it is not fake news, he really said that. He is lying again.) His base will foolishly believe everything he says. So in a way, lying works perfectly fine for him (because we allow him to get away with it). Why do we allow a president to lie on a several times a day pace and never call him to the table on it. He lies SO often, its just too much to keep up with.

So, I make a post about your hero lying and you respond with WTF, unemployment is low. WTF does that have to do with the liar in chief? Unemployment was handed to him low. Facts? Stay on topic or go back to the kids table.

Do you have any idea what the economic state the usa was in in 08 when obumer took over? Do you know the economic state of the country when trump started driving the bus?
I have been saying Merry Christmas my whole life. What do you say? Is this a deal or something? who has stopped you from saying Merry Christmas? Who is behind the Merry Christmas ban? Charlie Brown Christmas still on TV every year right? Are you making **** up? Obozo left trump with a booming stock market, dropping unemployment and a country that was respected by other nations, it was no where near as divided as it is today. Thanks Trump. So what exactly is he doing that you think means he is doing a great job? Perhaps its all the legislation that he has passed, i mean Repubs do control the senate, the house and the white house right? Maybe its the strong handed way he is handling N. Korea? Well since they have popped off more missiles in number and power since dude was elected, i guess that's out. Perhaps it is the way he has cleared the swamp and got rid of pedophiles like Roy Moore? Finished building his wall that mexico is paying for? Get all those queers and trans wierdos out of the military? how about those tariff's on China, the great money manipulator? Hire the best of the best to fix the country? Mike Flynn, Paul Manafort, Anthony Scaramucci, Sean Spicer, Steve Bannon, Tom Price, Sebastian Gorka, Ryan Zinke, Steve Mnuchin, Scott Pruit........ Fix healthcare? WTF, anything? I'll wait.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders current creator of alternative truths. Explaining trumps tweeting of anti muslim videos.... "It's never the wrong time to talk about security and safety for the American people." 2nd biggest liar in Washington.
If trump were caught on video robbing a 7-11 at gunpoint Sanders explanation would be that he was trying to help the 7-11 owner by doing research and tests on their security system.
The videos he posted were actual videos, not fake. However one was an Isis produced video (crashing a Virgin Mary statue), the fight between two school boys (who trump said it was a muslim migrant beating up a dutch white kid) who were both just dutch kids, no muslims. On the plus side, David Duke gave trump props for his retweeting. Go figure, Duke and trump of the same mindset. The last one was from a far right group in UK...much like our KKK. Thanks Donald.
Seriously trump is losing it...going further to the right as his senility kicks in. All in less than a week,,,Re ups support for Roy Moore. Sees a need to throw in political barbs at Warren, calling her Pocahontas during a ceremony for WWII vets who BTW were Navajo. Classy. Posts "Muslim" hate videos. While pitching "his" tax plan says it wont benefit him. #1 liar in Washington.

He is single handedly killing the CFPB by installing a new head who has said in the past it should be blown up. He is about to fire his sec of State. Remember...he will hire Only the Best promise?

Sees a need to throw in political barbs at Warren, calling her Pocahontas during a ceremony for WWII vets who BTW were Navajo. Classy. Posts "Muslim" hate videos. While pitching "his" tax plan says it wont benefit him. #1 liar in Washington.

He is single handedly killing the CFPB by installing a new head who has said in the past it should be blown up. He is about to fire his sec of State. Remember...he will hire Only the Best promise?
So are you upset they are spinning things better than the left spins things?

Well, yeah. It is beyond spin, it is flat out lying.
Did you peek at the link? Here is the first few paragraphs...


President Donald Trump made another sales pitch for his tax plan in Missouri on Wednesday, repeating his erroneous claim that the Republican bill, if passed, would cost him and other rich Americans “a fortune.”
“This is going to cost me a fortune, this thing, believe me," Trump told an enthusiastic crowd in St. Charles, just outside St. Louis. "This is not good for me."
He added that his “very wealthy friends” were “not so happy with me” when it came to the bill, but he pressed Senate Republicans to pass it this week anyway.
In fact, Trump and his family could save more than $1 billion under the House tax plan that passed two weeks ago, according to an NBC News analysis.

And under the Senate plan, the wealthiest Americans, like Trump, would get nearly 62 percent of all of its benefits by 2027, while two-thirds of middle-class Americans would face a tax increase, according to the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington.
Meanwhile, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the poorest Americans would be worse off under the Senate tax plan, because they would no longer receive tax credits under the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate, which the bill would eliminate

Saying the tax bill will not benefit him is not "SPIN" its lying. I despise having such a pathological liar in that office. I have an issue with liars...ask a few of my past girlfriends why they are past.

It's also going to cause a $1 trillion deficit. Absurd.

Doesn't say what he was direct to make contact for. Making contact is not a crime. If it was some quid pro quo then Trumps effed in the A. But it says a member of the Trump team, doesn't blame Trump or did I miss something?

"Though the individuals are not named, court documents show Flynn claiming a “very senior member” of the Trump transition team directed him to contact foreign governments including Russia over a United Nations vote – which was the subject of one of Flynn's false statements.

The documents also say Flynn called an unnamed senior transition official in December to ask what to communicate to the Russian ambassador about sanctions. That official and Flynn discussed how they didn’t want Russia to "escalate the situation," something Flynn immediately told the ambassador in a phone call. "

That also doesn't sound criminal except for Flynn lying about it.

yeah fox is saying "very senior member of transition team." The reuters link was reporting on an unverified ABC News story that said trump himself. I guess time will tell.

And you are right... I really don't know whether post-election/pre-swearing-in contact between Trump team and Russia on foreign policy matters is criminal or not. I mean Flynn was worried enough about it to lie multiple times to many people, but whether there's a crime isn't clear.

So what he plead guilty to is lying about the content of post-election contact, not a conspiracy to collude before the election.

So at this moment, I think he can still say no collusion with a semi straight face.*

* caveat being that the campaign tried to collude (popodopolus, carter page, don jr. meeting, potentially wikileaks) but no evidence (yet) that an actual quid pro quo existed.

It would not surprise me if Trump is actually ignorant of all this stuff. He doesn't seem to care much about details and minutia and delegates that stuff to subordinates. During the campaign Trumps job was go go to rallies and get on TV and just say some dumb stuff (the fewer facts the better). We are talking about the guy who already did like 10 stupid things THIS WEEK. A policy wonk he ain't. So during the campaign he did his job (be a blowhard trainwreck that we can't look away from) and let the underlings to theirs.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if there were some dirt under Don Jr.'s of Jared's manicured fingernails tho.

funny thing about Flynn is that obumer tried to warn him. He flat out told him not to hire him. Trump though knows better. He will stock up on anything anti Obama. If Obama suggests left, trump goes right. If Obama tries to help air quality, trump pumps a dead coal production plan. Obama initiates the healthcare system trump kicks out the legs...
http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/08/politi...ynn/index.html
Funny how trumpy tweets crazy out of thin air ideas, re tweets racist vids...remember the "no transgender in the military" tweets? Howed that work out. Turns out he is pulling the media away from the Russia investigation.
Yesterday Jeff Sessions (nothing but Alabama's best) was interrogated again. When point blank asked if trump asked him to intervene in the Russia
investigation....he declined to answer. Interesting....criminal.

It's official, the republicans have raised taxes on anyone making less than $75,000 while substantially cutting taxes for the super wealthy and adding a projected 1 trillion dollars to the national dept. If you are a Republican and not a billionaire you are a colossal idiot.

Gee my health care costs more than tripled And I take less home than ever before under the last guy. My democratically run city and state just raised our taxes to the max again for the 6th yr in a row. So I guess if you’re a Democrat and not a billionaire you’re an idiot

When will you guys realize if you search for positive you will be fed positive,if you search for negative you will be fed negative. If you try and change someone's opinion by using facts and logic you will be trying forever. If you search for God and have Jesus in your heart none of this trivial earthly stuff will matter. You will be focused on eternity and have peace and prosperity that only God can provide in your time on earth.

If Trump actually believes that isn't his voice on the tape then we have a President with a severe mental disorder. Which is a lot different than an boorish intellectually lazy lying narcissist.

Trump endorses Pedophile. Surprising no-one. Glad to see the Christian right is cool about molestation in public now, instead of it being a dirty secret like they usually treat it.
