Should the left be buying or banning guns?

I don't see why you can't buy a gun and support intelligent gun laws.
-
Because all of the "intelligent" gun laws outlaw guns.

Australia had a terrible mass shooting, instituted strong laws, and the result was more guns and no new shootings.
I think you might want to buy a device that has a "search engine." That way you wouldn't post things that aren't true

Oh boy, the myth of Australian gun control working. I have a entire wall of text with sources I can go dig up, but the gist is that Australia's violent crime rate matched the rest of the western world. But because this is Lemmy, no matter how many sources I link, none of y'all will ever change your mind.
Because y'all are close minded assholes.
Edit; Actually screw it, here you go. https://old.reddit.com/r/gunpolitics/comments/b6cgir/the_us_should_adopt_australias_gun_laws_says/ejkl8hb/

Just post about all the mass shootings they've had. I couldn't find any, but I am willing to be proven wrong

Also, literally first result on google. 6 people dead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Darwin_shooting
Also a mass stabbing where 7 people died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bondi_Junction_stabbings

One mass shooting and a stabbing.
Australia has a population of about 30 million, about the same as Texas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shootings_in_Texas
About 14 mass shooting in Texas in the same time.

You didn't even bother looking at the sources I linked? Fuck you, prick.

It's not worth arguing with them, they would rather be getting brought to a concentration camp, and still be talking how sensible gun laws can exist.

I say let all americans have guns. Reduce restrictions. Yall massively reduce your insane population pretty quickly
-
You don't realize that we all already can have them? It's the right of all US citizens, and even children can own and use guns (with adult supervision) here.
What you describe is actually the status quo and it's not reducing the population at all. Gun homicides are not even in the top 10 most common causes of death in the USA.
