that's an extremely flawed outlook. There hasnt been a massacre since? When was the last one before that? and then the one before that? you're basically arguing, that you bought elephant repelent for your yard, off a rather convincing infomercial, and since you've been using it, you havent had any elephants in your yard. |
Actually, I've got to take his side on this one... for at least this specific point.
Between 87 and 96 there were like 5-6 mass shootings.
Really was quite crazy.
That was more mass shootings than had happened in the history of Australia before.
So there was a significant stretch of shootings in that time period.
Personally, I think it was more just the extreme horriblness of Port Arthur that broke the streak. Since one guy somehow killed 3 dozen people before the police could stop him.
It was I think, by far the worst shooting in the history of the "Western" world.
