Panther, a combination of factors have made that zero a reality

1. Change in the types of guns generally available to every Tom, Dick and Harry.  No semi-automatic guns means less chance for a gun nut to go crazy with them and kill "three or more" people at a time.

Queensland permits semi-automatics,  & they are available elsewhere too.
https://www.qld.gov.au/law/crime-and-police/gun-licences/about-gun-licences/

2. Change in types of guns and licensing conditions.  Firearms owners have been woken up.  Their assumption that they have a right to own a firearm has been demonstrated to be false.  They need to prove their need, they need to be a member of a firearms association and they must demonstrate their skill with and ability to safely store a firearm.   They treasure their firearms and their licenses much more as a consequence.

So your gun owners are all completely sound of mind, now & forever? They will never let their cheese slide completely off their cracker, go grab their legal gun, load it, & take out their temporary insanity on a unaware pack of strangers? That isn't possible? Why? All because they treasure their firearms so so much, pass tests on gun usage & storage, & belong to gun clubs?


3. Heavier sentencing and more firearms checks, means that lax/recalcitrant gun owners have been penalised.

That keeps people sane does it? Why? Simply because of compliance penalties & storage checks?


4. Stricter licensing.    Grin Cheesy Grin

ps. Good to see you're reading my posts.


So, those are your specific reasons why there haven't been any 
Gun
  massacres since 1996?

By your reasoning then, you are saying that because of the laws on the books, there will never be another gun massacre in Australia?

Or, are you conceding that even though the gun laws have made it more difficult, if a once sane gun owner went berserk tomorrow, none of the present day firearms permitted to be owned anywhere in Australia could be used to perpetrate a massacre?

Somehow, I don't think your logic should make me feel all sorts of warm & fuzzy....

On the other hand, gun laws or none, after passing strict criminal & mental health background checks, the law abiding Australian people should have the right to protect their lives & property with the weapons of their choice, not the choice of their government's.

You've displayed no evidence (nor have any anti-gun posters on this bulletin board) that Australian gun laws actually work, except repeating ad nauseam that there haven't been any gun massacres since the 1996 Port Arthur killings, even though the fact is evident that there has always been the potential for any deranged nutter to secure a firearm from Australia's vast inventory, & perpetrate  destruction with excessive casualty.

You've actually proven the case that it's not about guns, it's about absolute government control over a population it has no trust in.

The Lyndt Cafe hostage situation was a massacre in the making and the gun laws did nothing to stop it.

The terrorist on the train in France was not stopped by the French gun laws which are strict in regard to military weapons.
He was stopped by the brave actions of trained but unarmed men; men who would have now been facing the Court had the incident happened in Australia.
They would clearly have broken the law by using excessive force and by belting the poo [
edit, I didn't say poo
] out of him whilst they had the chance.
We look after our criminals.

To say that a massacre has not happened in Australia because of the gun laws is akin to burying one's head in the sand.

They made it more difficult for Man Monis to get a gun.  They made it harder for him to access a military-style semi-automatic weapon.  If he had survived, he would have been punished for his misuse of a firearm.

Where they would have, in all likelihood been acquitted of any supposed crime they had committed.  Much better and much easier to have the courts carry the can than to allow personal bias to get in the way.

Doubtful.  From my reading they apprehended him and applied the necessary level of force to stop him from hurting them, nothing more.  Had they continued to beat him, they might have had a case to answer.  They did not.

We treat them as citizens who have rights.   You appear to believe that means they get some sort of preferential treatment.  Why?

And I'd suggest you're the one with your head buried in the sand.   The laws by and large work and have worked to prevent a massacre style crime from being perpetuated.  Face facts.    Grin Cheesy Grin Cheesy Grin Cheesy Grin Cheesy

They are only available to primary producers and must be stored safely and used appropriately.   They are not generally available for every Tom, Dick or Harry to purchase and misuse.

Yes and no.  Generally I'd say they are less of a worry rather than no worry at all.  Baron and yourself are two cases in point.

It decreases the chance considerably.  Much better than the US where no proof is required for a purchase, there are no waiting periods and everybody has a supposed right to own a firearm and therefore can have their cheese slide of their cracker with frequency.

The type of firearms make it much more difficult.  I am sure there could be a determined, well trained firearms owner who decides to "let his cheese slide off his cracker" one day and takes it out on the rest of society.  Will you be happy that day?  Will you dance with joy?  Will you hold a party?   Grin Grin Cheesy Cheesy Grin Grin Cheesy Cheesy

In a word "bullshit".   As always, you refuse to look at the evidence.  Laws are designed to punish transgressors rather than prevent crimes amongst criminals from occurring.   That has always been the case, no matter what you may believe.  You break the law, you pay the penalty.  So, how many gun massacres in Australia since 1996 again?  Grin Cheesy Grin Cheesy Grin Cheesy Grin Cheesy

It obviously wasn't that difficult for him to get a gun that had to be handed in 20 years ago,some people prefer pump action shotguns to semi autos, a pump action shotgun will not jam like a semi auto

Belgium outlawed the guns he had over a decade ago,so much for the gun laws in France or Belgium stopping him

Where they would have, in all likelihood been acquitted of any supposed crime they had committed.  Much better and much easier to have the courts carry the can than to allow personal bias to get in the way.
The fact his gun failed to fire which caused it to jam probably helped,when semi autos have a fail to fire or fail to eject they jam and need to be cleared before the can fire,the Aurora Colorado shooter had a semi auto that jammed after a few rounds so he used another gun.
With old or cheap ammo semi autos can be very unreliable and jam frequently it doesn't matter if it's a rifle or pistol.

DevNul,

"....Had they continued to beat him, they might have had a case to answer.  They did not."

They did and by their own admission in a live TV interview [and good on 'em!!], so in Australia they would have had a case to answer and, no doubt, the Greens would have pressed for prosecution as would the Council for Civil Liberties.

We have hoplophobes like hot breath saying our gun laws prevent mass shootings because semi autos were banned,are you suggesting the laws were only put in place to punish and have nothing to do with prevention?

Before Port Arthur our worst mass shooting out of 13 mass shootings was done with a single shot bolt action .22

A woman with a knife in Cairns killed more people than the-
Campsie murders with semi auto
Milperra massacre
Hoddle st massacre
Top end shootings in 87
Canley vale Huynh family murders
Wahroonga murders
Oenpelli shootings
Surry hills shootings
Strathfield massacre
Cangai siege
Hillcrest murders
Hunt family murders
A woman with a knife was able to match the murders from the Queen st massacre.

In Qld and NSW the worst mass murderers did not use a gun they lit a fire.

Just to be pedantic and for the sake of getting things right, the Milperra incident was not a massacre as it was a shoot out between two armed groups.
It was called a massacre because Milperra starts with an 'M' and 'Massacre' went well with it in the headlines.

They prevent by forcing behaviour modification amongst the law abiding Baron.   Many people drive cars on the roads in excess of the speed limits but once caught, change their behaviour and stop speeding.   Gun laws only change the behaviour of honest people, Baron.  They punish the dishonest people.   Are you really this naive or just being deliberately obtuse?   Roll Eyes

That's basically true, they (the gun laws) prevent the wrong people from being able to do the right thing.

When it comes to Mass Murder including Gun Massacres, gun laws, even the most stringent, prevent absolutely nothing, for it's not the honest people, God fearing, Country loving, law abiding, mentally balanced people that commit these crimes, its the criminally insane, & the mentally deranged psychotics that commit those heinous acts.

Gun Laws do not prevent the criminally insane, & the mentally deranged, who are responsible for those acts, overreaching gun laws only prevent potential victims from defending themselves & their loved ones in dire times of need.

What they do is remove the means for the criminally inside and the mentally deranged to commit their crimes.  What you want to do, is to make things easier for them to commit their crimes by making their tools more easily available to them.   Roll Eyes

So you are conceding our gun laws don't affect criminals they only affect people who obey laws

The most deadly mass shooting before Pt Arthur the offender used a single shot .22 bolt action,this is still the second most deadly shooting in Australia.

The commissioner of police has judged every firearm licence holder to be a fit and proper person who is no danger to public safety.
If you can trust them with a bolt action single shot .22 which was used in our second most deadly shooting then surely they can be trusted with other guns.

There was a guy who drove his truck into a pub in Alice springs killing a few people,what law do we need to change that type of behaviour?
