Right. Mass shootings get a lot of attention, but why eliminate them at the expense of, say, increasing the overall murder or violent crime rates? The same logic applies to people who point to "gun violence." I don't give two shells about gun violence. I'm much more interested in reducing all violence, guns or not.
But hey, I'm sure the increasing masses of raped Aussie women are thrilled that the mass shootings have stopped.

I would like hard numbers on the number of women who stopped their attempted rapist using an assault weapon. After you get me those, find me the numbers on the women who stopped a rape with a handgun (which I'm all for).
If someone is trained in the handling and firing of a handgun they shouldn't need more than 6 rounds to protect themselves from almost any situation. If there's 7 or more people after you and they're dumb/angry enough to let you shoot 6 of them, you're not getting away anyway...
