Cheers @kymbos!

There's tons of good, fresh standup comedy on the internet right now. You can find all sorts by different comedians. I was a bit disheartened upon checking in on the Standup channel to see the entirety of Louis C.K.'s most recent special uploaded in like, 15 different individual segments, almost all sifted by the same person. Glad to be able to introduce Sifters to a variety of awesome new comedians.

Are you not noticing that after the gun ban that there is a 55% increase in violent crime (and the murder rate increased for several years). See my reply to kymbos above. I was typing it when you posted this.

@kymbos The point should be obvious, the gun ban effected more than gun crime, and not in a good way. It may have stopped mass shootings (see below), but at what cost? The murder rate actually increased after the ban, and didn't fall below the pre-ban rate until 7 years later. The murder rate before the ban was already on a steady decline, and Australia now has more violent crime post gun ban.

Did the gun ban even stop mass shootings? Mass Shootings in Australia and New Zealand: A Descriptive Study of Incidence (PDF) concludes:

"The hypothesis that Australia’s prohibition of certain types of firearms explains the absence of mass shootings in that country since 1996 does not appear to be supported. Rather, it can be seen that both Australia and New Zealand, a country where the firearms banned in Australia (self-loading longarms and pump action shotguns) are still available for the purposes of target shooting and hunting, have now experienced very similar periods of time without the occurrence of a mass shooting event. At the time of writing, this period exceeds 13 years, for both countries. This is not consistent with the expectation that, if civilian access to certain types of firearms explained the occurrence of mass shootings in Australia (and conversely, if prohibiting such firearms explains the absence of mass shootings), then New Zealand (a country that still allows the ownership of such firearms) would have continued to experience mass shooting events.

This finding cannot be readily explained by differences in population size or pre-existing differences in the occurrence of mass shootings between the two countries – both of which were controlled for during the analyses. It is also important to note that in New Zealand, there have been no major changes to firearms legislation since 1992, when the requirement of photographic licences and ‘safe storage’ of firearms was implemented (in this regard, Australian and New Zealand legislation is similar). Prior to 1992, the last major change to firearms legislation in New Zealand occurred in 1983, when the requirement for mandatory registration of hunting and sporting longarms was removed. Thus, the absence of mass shootings in New Zealand over the past 13 years cannot be readily explained by any legislative changes implemented around the period 1996/1997."

Shit, I blew the perfect opportunity...

*Lawdeedaw talking to camera

"Now here is what we call quid pro quo. Kymbos owes me big for that promotion and will be forced to either upvote my videos or promote mine at least. This should put at least one of my new qs--aww fuck it they both lack the votes...
