So here's some evidence of the effectiveness of gun control laws, summarizing this article from a neutral source: \n\nhttp://www.factcheck.org/2017/10/gun-control-australia-updated/\n\n-Australia suffered a gun massacre in 1996: 35 dead, 18 injured.\n-The National Firearms Agreement was passed as a result. Some semi-automatic rifles and shotguns were banned and stricter registration/licensing policies were implemented. There was also a huge amount of buybacks, and 700,000 guns were sold to the government. Laws were further tightened in 2002.\n-There were 23% fewer homicides in 2013 than there were in 1996, though some fluctuation in between.\n-13 gun massacres happened in the 18 years before the NFA, 0 gun massacres in the 18 years after.\n-Ã¢â‚¬Å“In the seven years before the NFA, the average annual firearm homicide rate per 100,000 was .43 (range .27 to .60) while for the seven years post NFA, the average annual firearm homicide rate was .25 (range .16 to .33).Ã¢â‚¬Â\n-Ã¢â‚¬Å“The number of homicide incidents involving a firearm decreased by 57 percent between 1989-90 and 2013-14Ã¢â‚¬Â\n\n*This doesn't prove or disprove anything*  Whatever your opinion, I encourage everyone to do their own research. Have a great day, stay alive |-/
