So you've assumed several things right off the bat:

1. Since I don't agree with your conclusions I must not have done my research. Have you considered not all research leads to the same conclusions, and someone who has done 10x more research than you might just disagree with you?

2. You assume I'm a liberal carrying out a liberal agenda. Have you considered that this isn't necessarily a liberal vs. conservative issue, and many conservatives agree that we should do what Australia did as a common sense measure that actually saves lives?

3. You said I said guns are the problem. I never said that. We all know people are the problem. Who told you those of us advocating for better gun laws think guns are "the problem"? And we've got plenty of laws in place for the people problem. Yes, more could be done apart from gun laws, but what Australia has done works, so we should do that along with any other measures to mitigate the human problem. You've set up a false dichotomy, as many gun rights advocates tend to do.

I won't mention your numerous insults (oops, just did). Is this how you typically deal with an issue? Normally I upvote people who disagree with me but not this time. You're too rude to get an upvote. We're off to a rocky start to this relationship.

If you want to back up and take another run at this I'd be happy to hear any research you know of that demonstrates what Australia did won't work in the USA.
