JTOL0046 Gun Control and School Shootings

Sources: Mass shootings and school shootings not on the rise: Schools are safer than they were in the 90s, and school shootings are not more common than they used to be, researchers say You can find the actual research publications if you can pay for them: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1088767913510297 http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/vio.2015.0054#utm_source=FastTrack&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=vio Article about the effects of bans on guns in UK, Australia, Ireland Actual data sources in article: Australia (runs flat) https://aic.gov.au/publications/tandi/tandi261 UK (up then back down) https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DJ-KA2WhhLo/UNZr8agpVqI/AAAAAAAAFH4/f6rrTVN7q6I/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-12-22+at++Saturday,+December+22,+9.26+PM.png UK again (Couldn’t find exact figure above and some links don’t work. See page 31 in this article) https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/116483/hosb0212.pdf Ireland (increase then decrease to same level) Jamaica (just increases) https://crimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Ireland-Jamaica-2.jpeg These show no decrease in deaths or murder but sometimes a decrease in gun deaths. US info (not including suicides) http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/ If you’re interested in Jamaica plus any country this was my favorite website http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/jamaica Blonde’s video with great sources “Mass Shootings | the Role of Parental Absence & Mental Health” SOME OF THE OTHER SIDE (that I don’t agree with): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jun/23/australias-gun-laws-stopped-mass-shootings-and-reduced-homicides-study-finds https://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/10/03/did_gun_control_stop_mass_shootings_in_australia_probably.html https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/10/fantasyland-book-excerpt-the-nra-won-the-gun-rights-debate-and-made-americans-fear-their-own-government.html Their goal is to prevent mass shootings or gun deaths, not homicide or murder. As said above: They say it stops mass shootings but I suppose it’s not the number of people who die, just one specific way that people die. But it results in less ability to defend oneself from criminals (who don’t care about gun laws) as well as the state. As for ‘gun fantasy’, again, why are people insistent on telling other people what to do? It’s also not a fantasy that governments have been responsible for the mass killings of their citizens. Think about China in the past or Venezuela right now. An armed populace can do much more than an unarmed one, even if they don’t have tanks and drones etc. I am passionate about this! Thanks for watching.
