This is what any reasonable government would do and what reasonable people would want. I don't understand why people and politicians cater to the thugs who profit off of guns sales and run the NRA.

From your link:

After a 1996 Mass Shooting, Australia Enacted Strict Gun Laws. It Hasn’t Had a Similar Massacre Since.
Quote:
Australia’s government did something remarkable. Led by newly elected conservative Prime Minister John Howard, it announced a bipartisan deal with state and local governments to enact sweeping gun-control measures. A decade and a half hence, the results of these policy changes are clear: They worked really, really well.

An interesting read on how these mass murderers acquired their guns.
How Roseburg, Newtown, and other mass shooters got their guns.

Many people in Australia and around the world believe the Port Arthur massacre was a false flag orchestrated by the Australian government for the purpose of changing public opinion on guns in Australia. This tactic worked and the people allowed the government to take their guns and change the gun laws.

This same tactic has been used in many countries to change gun laws and now it's happening here.

The only "tactic" going on is that the same people who profit off of you buying guns, profit off of selling them to the people who are killing us and our children. These are profit hoarding thugs who do not care who is killingwhom as long as they keep making $$$$.

Wow you were able to find news articles of ACCIDENTAL shootings at gun shows. Can you now find a situation where a deranged gunman like the ****tard in Oregon who shot up a "gun free" campus, singled out a gun show?

First how many murders have been committed in the US with AUTOMATIC weapons? Answer very small percentage. Vast vast majority of gun murders occur in the inner cities with hand guns being the weapon of choice. Secondly, a ban on semiautomatic rifles and shotguns would violate the Second Amendment to the US Constitution.

Wrong. This is not about gun sales ... this is about infringing on the rights of American citizens to keep and bear Arms.

So your argument is that if we can't do something that will curb absolutely all forms of violence, then why bother trying to curb gun violence?

I'm so sick of the "false flag" drivel that gets thrown out after every tragedy like this. Leave that crap to Infowars or whatever other armpit of the Internet. It's offensive to the victims and their families.
