re: Shooting at Orlando gay club: 50 Dead, 53 Injured, Shooter is Radical Muslim

What example is that? Kneejerk legislation was bullied through and changed nothing for the better. Here's a mental exercise for you: do you know what the slope means on a trend line at a given point? Do you know what it means when the slope of a trend line of firearms-related homicides in the years before and after the 1996 gun laws were enacted in Australia shows no change? Did you know Australia still had another mass shooting years later and still has shootings to this day? Do you know that civilians still have as many firearms now than they did after the forced "buy back"?
