12 days after 35 people were killed in Australia's mass shooting of 1996, long guns were prohibited and handguns bought from their owners by the government. 643,000 firearms were handed in. AND THAT'S WHY THIS MASSACRE TOOK PLACE IN NEW ZEALAND AND NOT AUSTRALIA. DON'T LET THE GUN LOBBY FOOL YOU. GUN LAWS WORK. In the 18 years before Australian gun control, there were 13 mass shootings. In the decade after, there were zero. | image tagged in australia,new zealand,gun control,gun laws,mass shooting,nra | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

And today their government enacted martial law over a disease that kills less than 2% of those it infects... it just works!

UK banned guns in 1997. Total homicides have now returned to the same level, replaced by knife and truck killings, predominantly by you know who.

But if knives and trucks are just as effective at killing, then why would you need a gun in the first place?

Law abiding citizens once had the privilege of owning guns and criminals feared getting shot. Now that the law abiding citizens have no guns, the criminals fear nothing. The next step is for the criminals to import guns and law abiding citizens are done for.

It does, however it looks your question was intended to be rhetorical, in that you believe no one "needs" guns. Human nature dictates that whoever has the biggest stick, gets to push everyone else around. People with guns are harder to push around than people without guns.

You're an idiot. By all standards. There is terrorism in every culture, by every religion, not just Muslims.
