6 dead, mass shooting - Mr645 - 04-13-2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_VJgr4OBaE Actually 6 dead from a mass knife attack and police used a gun to stop the killer. Re: 6 dead, mass shooting - Tiangou - 04-13-2024 Disarm the police. Re: 6 dead, mass shooting - PeterB - 04-13-2024 Lots of data here, including the point that you failed to make with this post: https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/graphics/2022/08/18/mass-killings-database-us-events-since-2006/9705311002/ (hint, scroll down to the part about what type of weapons are used most frequently...)

This is a tragedy. Fortunately, the murderer only had a knife. Imagine what damage if he had had an AR-15 or worse and come back to us.

Re: 6 dead, mass shooting - pdq - 04-14-2024 Data: Homicide rate in Australia (per Wikipedia, 2021): 0.86/100,000. Homicide rate in US (same source, 2021): 3.8/100,000 - 4.4x higher Mass murders are not unknown in Australia, but are shocking precisely because they are so rare. We had 656 mass shootings in 2024. On average, 118 gun deaths each day. Re: 6 dead, mass shooting - Mr645 - 04-14-2024 Mass murders in Australia are rare, their gun ban had no effect on the number of mass killings. Mass killings were rare before, and remain a rare occurrence Re: 6 dead, mass shooting - pdq - 04-14-2024 Mr645 wrote: False. |
