Violent crime is actually flourished and private citizens are paying the price there is a huge movement to restore Firearms rights to rightful owners of Australia. However homemade Firearms by criminals are flourishing.

However you cannot blame the tool that was used to commit the murder.

We must hold the murderer accountable.
If you impose the death penalty for every murder? Murder would drop.

However the safest areas are where everybody has the right to protect themselves. 

Let us take the Civil War era where everybody had firearms. The southern tradition of extreme respect came from needing to be an offense of to avoid a gunfight. 

Protect victims. Give a tiny woman the ability to defend herself against a larger man. 

A friend of mine who is a single mother as well as a very intelligent nurse. She had to get a gun to protect herself from an abusive relationship. 

However we do need to start taking better care of the mental health of people. 

The Florida Shooter had been reported numerous times and nobody cared. 

We should be focusing on the four officers who had guns and stood around while children were being slaughtered.  Every patrol car has an assault rifle. Every single one of those officers was responsible for protection of the children.

You can't take away the guns of the police. However you need police who are willing to do their job. However we still need more information about that.

But nobody is talking about why these individuals are doing what they are doing. 

There was a stabbing spree in China that resulted in 33  dead and 150 wounded.

Don't ban spoons because people are fat.
Don't take away the right for a human being to protect their life. Please don't disarm victims.

Early on in the Oregon medical marijuana program Elder and disabled people were targeted by criminals and gangs. They would actually commit horrific home invasion assaults.

3600% increase in violent crimes toward elderly and disabled people in the first year. I was one of those who survived. 

What we need to do is truly hold somebody who does such a horrific crime accountable. So many of the perpetrators of such violence get away with slap on the wrist. In Oregon you could murder somebody and with good behavior be on the street in 7 years.

It's not the perpetrators. We need to fix the justice system and the mental health.

Well, not to be obnoxiously picky, but that's 6 words.

And we'll still have to repeal the 2nd Amendment before we can  we can try that.  So everyone should immediately start advocating  for repeal.    Right?  What's the point, otherwise?  You can't ban guns until you repeal the Constitutional right to own them.

No, it didn't. Home invasion is a serious problem there. I also find it convenient that Australia's statistics aren't compared with the U.S. on a per capita basis. The fact is that the vast majority of gun violence in the US occurs in the cities that have the strictest gun control.  My individual rights are not up for debate, and I don't care about your feelings about it. I will take responsibility for my safety instead of screaming at a government to keep me protected from the scary people.
