Cont: Today's Mass Shooting (part 3)

Why? Much better that we actually lock up career criminals rather them out over and over again.
Jurisdictions such as Canada and the EU that have better gun control laws in place also have far fewer mass shootings.

Another update on the 18 mass shootings that occurred in the four days after the Maine mass shooting. I challenged fellow forum members to use those random 18 mass shootings to highlight the examples of white mass shooters that they claim I ignore. No one has bothered.



2 black males were arrested for the Clinton, North Carolina mass shooting that left 5 dead.

2 additional black males were identified in the Miami mass shooting.

1 additional black male was arrested for the Wiggins, Mississippi mass shooting.

I will update the list below, feel free to contribute and show everyone all of these white mass shooters I keep ignoring.

Causation? What were the gun homicide rates before they had these laws?

These are good anecdotal examples of why gun control is a good idea.
 
There is little causal connection between gun control laws and homicide.

Perhaps the intention of those who advocate such laws is that they expect them to reduce the prevalence of guns.

It's possible they think the absurdly high number of shootings in the US is causally connected to the high prevalence of guns, rather than being directly due to their being an insufficient number of laws. Do you suppose that might be the case?
 
Causation? What were the gun homicide rates before they had these laws?
Good thing there's actual science to answer your question.

Results

In the 18 years before the gun law reforms, there were 13 mass shootings in Australia, and none in the 10.5 years afterwards. Declines in firearm‐related deaths before the law reforms accelerated after the reforms for total firearm deaths (p = 0.04), firearm suicides (p = 0.007) and firearm homicides (p = 0.15), but not for the smallest category of unintentional firearm deaths, which increased. No evidence of substitution effect for suicides or homicides was observed. The rates per 100 000 of total firearm deaths, firearm homicides and firearm suicides all at least doubled their existing rates of decline after the revised gun laws.

Conclusions

Australia's 1996 gun law reforms were followed by more than a decade free of fatal mass shootings, and accelerated declines in firearm deaths, particularly suicides. Total homicide rates followed the same pattern. Removing large numbers of rapid‐firing firearms from civilians may be an effective way of reducing mass shootings, firearm homicides and firearm suicides.

An analogy could probably be made with knife crime in the UK. The UK has always had knives, but not until recently has knife crime become a serious problem. It's not the knife.
 
These are good anecdotal examples of why gun control is a good idea.
There are many good reasons to have strict controls on he ownership of guns and other weapons. Hence why the founding fathers explicitly tied the possession of weapons to being an active member of a government controlled militia in the US constitution.
 

The UK homicide figures around the 2000's were heavily distorted by one man, Dr Harold Shipman, he was believed to have killed over 230 people over three decades but his victims weren't recognised as having been murdered until his crimes came to light and the subsequent police investigation and enquiry. British crime statistics aren't revised historically so suspected victims going back to the 1960's were included in the late 1990's to 2005 figures. UK homicides are so low that this was enough to cause a peak.
 
You just can't stand that it has been shown that gun control can be effective, can you?
Ugh, and it didn't work in Brazil because? If you take a population that already had low rates of homicide and say same later policy caused that low rate of homicide then you have no understanding of causation.

UK homicide rates were low before any gun control.
 
THE AUSTRALIAN FIREARMS BUYBACK AND ITS EFFECT ON GUN DEATHS

This paper takes a closer look at the effects of the NFA on gun deaths. Using a battery of structural break tests, there is little evidence to suggest that it had any significant effects on firearm homicides and suicides. In addition, there also does not appear to be any substitution effects—that reduced access to firearms may have led those bent on committing homicide or suicide to use alternative methods. Since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, two other shooting incidents have attracted much media attention in Australia. An incident on October 21, 2002 at Monash University, in which a gunman killed two people and wounded five, prompted the National Handgun Buyback Act of 2003. Under this scheme that ran from July to December 2003, 70,000 handguns were removed from the community at a cost of approximately A$69 million. Another shooting on June 18, 2007, in which a lone gunman killed a man who had come to the aid of an assault victim and seriously wounded two others in Melbourne’s central business district during morning rush hour, renewed calls for tougher gun controls. Although gun buybacks appear to be a logical and sensible policy that helps to placate the public’s fears, the evidence so far suggests that in the Australian context, the high expenditure incurred to fund the 1996 gun buyback has not translated into any tangible reductions in terms of firearm deaths.
