I doubt you'll acknowledge this post either, and it'll probably get shadow banned anyway, but you're wrong on a lot of points. Australia didn't have a mass shooting problem. Crime in general was on the down trend for the past 50 or 60 years and mass shootings were merely outlier events. The few it had weren't a problem if you remove useless emotion from the equation. What's worse is it still had some after the laws were changed. If the laws really worked then there should've been ZERO mass shootings and at the very least fewer shootings in general if not outright cessation of them. They still had mass shooting and to this day still have shootings in general. Criminals will never obey the law. They will not think, "hey, I want to go commit some crimes with a gun but I'm not legally allowed to own one so I won't". No, they will merely purchase one on the black market which makes them readily available. If professionally made guns ever disappear, they'll do homemade guns, and they do in fact have a lot of homemade guns out there that are captured on a yearly basis by many policing organizations around the world, including Australia, and even in the US where professionally made guns are readily available. Banning guns won't solve any problems but will instead create them as law abiding citizens would no longer have an effective means of protecting themselves.

Clearly this audience won't be receptive to this message and it'll probably get censored by YT anyway. However, if the bans worked then there should have been 0 incidences of gun violence. Murders, which apparently weren't looked at on their own, should also have gone down with no associated acts of violence that didn't result in death in lieu of. Since you didn't even mention those, I can only assume you didn't study them, or if you did you either felt the numbers disagreed with your narrative or you erroneously felt they agreed with it and felt no need to mention them. Either way, suspicious. Violence in most civilized nations has gone down over the past 40 years, media reports of gun violence notwithstanding, but when you ban guns, the violence gets shifted to other forms. People still die, and while it is fewer deaths than with guns, the repercussions are longer lasting because they wind up disfigured or with a chronic health problem or just in general with PTSD. I'm not saying that people would be better off dead, what I am saying is that they'd be better off armed in the first place before they're attacked so they can fend off their attacker and prevent the situation resulting in their own death or maiming. Self defense is a human right, and the means by which you defend yourself are irrelevant as long as you are responsible. Dave of EEVblog brings up the point of a cricket bat, disregarding the fact that he would be charged with assault if he defended himself with said cricket bat, and it's disingenuous to say the least. Everyone touting gun control as though it would actually work needs to wake up to reality. Criminals won't obey the law, they'll either keep the guns they have, if they have them, or make new ones or buy them on the black market. In any event, the criminals who would assault you will still have access to firearms and they'll know you don't.

@deus_ex_machina_ You had me until you promoted racism and forced payments to those who weren't victims of injustice by people who weren't perpetrators of said injustice. Acknowledge past wrongdoings, absolutely agreed, but the past is unchangeable, so stop trying to change it. What's more, stop trying to make the future awful by making it the same as the past just in the opposite direction.

@betula2137 People attempting, and failing, to right wrongs do in fact do those things. Generational trauma is BS for people that can't get over the fact that they can't change the past. Move on, treat people with respect and eventually things do get better as long as you don't keep committing the same wrongs. Stealing from person A to give to person B because in the past people that look like person A wronged people that looked like person B is not righting a wrong, it's committing a whole other wrong. Racism keeps existing because people who think they know what's right and wrong keep committing wrongs in the name of correcting it and end up only perpetuating it.

@betula2137 Where do you think tax money comes from? Because if you're using tax money you're taking from everyone, including those you're aiming to "repay" for what happened to their ancestors. If you only pay those whose ancestors were actually harmed instead of just blanket paying everyone of that group, you'll be harming that entire group, some of which who weren't previously harmed. There is nothing in our DNA which denotes past trauma of the kind you're referring to. Only radiation or gene manipulation could cause that.
