If there's no actual jusitification for removing freedoms, then why should that be what people want? I didn't intentionally cut the graph short, it was just a report published in 2011. If you have something more up to date, I'd be interested in reading it. |
Most homicides in coutries like UK and AUS are general domestic related violence. You will find that about 70%to80% killed are by a family member or a family friend. The other 20% are strangers, which doesn't always equate to motivated murder. It could be a king hit on a drunken night out.
The point is most these would not be prevented with a gun because who expects someone they trust to kill them?
The gun ban we have in Aus is pretty much on full automatics and semi automatics and restrictions not a total restriction. Weapons like these are not required in the home. Since then there has been no mass shooting by a deranged individual.
Hell we also got a ban on half the shit you can buy in the US to make bombs with lol
