Re: " Australia, for example, reports showed that strict gun laws reduce mass shooting"

The homicide rate in Australia was decreasing before the 1996 "strict gun law" ban and continued to decrease at the same rate afterwards for a short period and then leveled off. If it had really made a difference it would have decreased significantly and not leveled off. In addition since the 1996 ban (during 1997 to 2010 period) the number of guns grew by 45% (back to pre-ban levels) and the population grew by 19%, and as I said the homicide rate leveled off and if it was really about guns it should have drastically increased. A logical conclusion as to why this occurred is because only law abiding citizens honored and participated in the buyback
