Interesting Jackxxx. Do you have a reference or link for the Hammer-death-rate? As I recall, ~30K people died in 2015 from gun shots. If that many people died from hammers, then yes, we should do something about it.
What researcher did you get the graph that depicts mass shootings by president? Do you have a similar graph for Australia?

The Australian 1996 National Agreement on Firearms was not a benign set of commonsense gun-control rules: It was a gun-confiscation program rushed through the Australian parliament just twelve days after a 28-year-old man killed 35 people with a semi-automatic rifle in the Tasmanian city of Port Arthur.
The National Agreement on Firearms all but prohibited automatic and semiautomatic assault rifles, stiffened licensing and ownership rules, and instituted a temporary gun buyback program that took some 650,000 assault weapons (about one-sixth of the national stock) out of public circulation.

Oh btw total deaths from terror acts on Australian soil is six THIS INCLUDES 3 TERRORISTS . Also unfortunately a woman killed by a police ricochet .
A major part of Australian anti terror effort is community links, including links within the Islamic community . Numerous raids have caught explosive caches because of community tip offs .
Hundreds of guys have been prevented from going to Isis . The community at large would prefer that they were allowed to go and prevented from returning, as it is they are allowed to return and face the resulting criminal charges.

Bingo again Trex.. This is what we gun owners in Canada have been trying to beat into law makers heads for a very long time.. We can own that Mini-14 and use it in the woods, many do ranchers especially (clips are limited to "5" for center fire ammo by design, or a metal pin in the mag).. But the "black rifle" is only for people with restricted permits and ONLY for range use.. They are the same damn rifle, same ammo, and function the same!!

And the number of mass-shootings went from what to zero? So gun confiscation does reduce mass shootings... although it may require neighboring countries to follow suit.
I wonder what the number of total shooting deaths was before? Peg says it is now near 6 or so per year. So if the US loses about 30,000 americans every year to guns... gun consfiscation (mexico & canada too) might reduce that to 100?
At what point are you willing to do something to help save ~30,000 lives annually?
This reminds me of the vaccination argument. Some misguided parents with a poor understanding of science try to remove a minor risk to their kid from an injection, but end up subjecting both their kid and their neightbors kids to diseases that were once held at bay: Polio, whooping cough, etc.

This was a townwhall meeting just this past June 2nd with Obama about gun control.
Obama actually answered everything for everybody once and for all. He actually in his own reply killed the gun control agenda. Nobody in the audience said anything. Either nobody had the balls to do it, or they were instructed by PBS to not interrupt the president in any way shape or form.
But Obama starts his answer with the example of automobile deaths. He is perfectly right, automobile deaths have decreased significantly and steady since the time he was a kid.
But there is a key difference in the example, that I think most of you would see immediately as you hear the president speaking. In the case of automobile deaths, nobody ever blamed the car. Nobody ever proposed passing a car ban. Nobody ever thought or talked about car control. INSTEAD, everything around cars and automobiles was made safer to protect people. Laws have been passed throughout the years to make bad drivers accountable for their actions. But nobody has ever held the car responsible for the actions. When a crazy whacko drives into a crowd killing people, nobody ever think about banning cars. Instead, we take actions towards that driver.
The libturd agenda is twisted, perverse, hypocrite, retarded, traitor, bizarre. Guns are not the issue and will never be. No matter how many arguments people make, guns in essence are NOT the problem. I mean, the topic is so ridiculous and stupid, that is similar to falling out of a bicycle and hurting your leg. And the doctor propose to amputate the leg. Because if you amputate it, you will never be able to hurt that leg again. Problem fixed. Thats how stupid the gun control agenda is.
Ok, from my last experience,...
