Point out where that has ever been my position.

It's pretty much implied. What other reason is there to ban unless it's under the belief that it will reduce violence?

No. I've stated my position clearly several times. I guess I haven't done it under this particular topic, so...

I believe that mass shootings like Aurora and Newtown can be stopped. In other threads I've brought up Australia as an example, and throughout all the debate the only thing that is clear is that in the 18 years before their gun legislation in 1996, they had at least 13 massacres. Since then they've had 0.

(The Childers fire was started by a nutjob that didn't even intend on killing anyone, and Monash was actually stopped by people there when the gunman had to reload...so let's not delve into those two incidents again.)

No one has debunked that study I presented. People have dismissed it and disagreed with it, but that's it.

I never have argued that legislation effectively reduced overall gun violence. I'm inclined to believe that less guns equals less violence, but statistical data can be brought forward for both sides.

If you are bringing up Australia again, then you clearly didn't read vellatri's response to the whole thing.

No...I read the study his response came from and the only source I could find on it was:

Source: Howard Nemerov, "Australia experiencing more violent crime despite gun ban," D.C. Examiner, April 8, 2009.

Howard Nemerov investigates the civil liberty of self-defense and examines the issue of gun control, resulting in his book Four Hundred Years of Gun Control: Why Isn’t It Working? He appears frequently on NRA News as their “unofficial” analyst...

Clearly our dear Howard is as unbiased as the University of Sydney.

Wouldn't you agree?
