Doesn't refute anything.. Guns were banned in Australia after this mass shooting (except rifles etc for farmers and sports shooters pistols). Mass shootings in the 15 years since the ban: 0

Different scenario though.. Aussies never came in the pants about guns.. I grew up firing them went I visited my grandads farm. But you never saw them around in towns.. it was weird for someone to have one.. If you had issues you fought someone like a man.. We never really lived in fear of being broken into or whatever and don't really give a shit about criminals shooting criminals which happens pretty rarely. Also we have a good public health system.. don't have a fraction of the crazies running around the streets like in the US.
