Why do you believe them?

Who do you believe? Did the National Firearms Agreement really put an end to mass shootings?

Who do you believe? Why do you believe them?

National Firearms Agreement 1996

Claim: NFA caused end to mass shootings in Australia

WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?

 

It would appear that the presence of guns is not the driving force in the cause of mass shootings.

Indeed a European Criminologist suggested that the type of culture and social structure in which you are brought up is much more significant.

So Last time I posted I made the point that NFA did not change the trend in murder rates.

Didn't stop mass murder either. (not even mass shootings)

• Childers Palace Fire - In June 2000, drifter and con-artist Robert Long started a fire at the Childers Palace backpackers hostel that killed 15 people.
• Monash University shooting - In October 2002, Huan Yun Xiang, a student, shot his classmates and teacher, killing two and injuring five.
• Churchill Fire - 10 confirmed deaths due to a deliberately lit fire. The fire was lit on 7th of February 2009.^[6]
• Quakers Hill Nursing Home Fire - 10 confirmed and as many as 21 people may have died as a result of a deliberately lit fire in a Quakers Hill nursing home. The fire was lit early on 18th of November 2011

Who do you believe? Why do you believe them? (The National Firearms Agreement)

Its a good question to ask yourself in any debate.

Who do you believe?

Equally important is to ask 

Why do you believe them?

I would hope that you would believe the people you believe because they have proven themselves accurate, reliable and truthful in the past.

For your consideration I share the following:

National Firearms Agreement 1996

Claim: NFA caused dramatic decline in homicide
